You can adapt almost any recipe to the machine you have. It sounds like it is a combination blender/food processor.

Some prime examples:

Sifting ingredients, as Penny mentioned.

Making breadcrumbs; just break up the bread into the bowl and away you go.

Pureeing vegetables, as in making soups; use the blender container for that one.

Kneading dough; if your machine has a hook, apply that.

Ghe grating attachment is the neatest and fastest thing to use when making potato pancakes or coleslaw. When I had a processor, I'd use that attachment faithfully.

And then, of course, there's crushing ice cubes or hard peppermint or other candy for making recipes which call for either item. Check your manual, though, to see if the blender part of the machine is equipped to do this. Some processor/blender appliances don't do this.

I hope this will give you some ideas to try with your new machine.

If you find you don't want it, just send it over here to me. I'm proverbially crying for a new machine.

(There now:  A prime example of my sense of humour.

Subject: [CnD] Recipes Using the Food Processor


I got a food processor for Christmas. I'm anxious to try it out. It's a Cuisinart, so I'm pretty sure there will be no complaints from me. Hehehe It has the bowl with it, plus the blender container, which is glass I might add. Scanner is broken, so will need someone to read the manual to me and learn all the nifty things it can do.

Anyway, anyone have recipes that use food processors to mix, chop, stir? I'm making a cranberry dessert that I'll use it to grind the cranberries for.

Happy holidays.

Rhonda
