Help! I have a Kitchen Aid 12 cup food processor and a few days ago I was using the dough blade and when I was finished the blade wouldn’t come out for the life of me? I’ve yanked and pulled and twisted but still it just wont come off? has anyone else had that problem? if so what did you do?
I am an American living in Australia and cannot find cornmeal anywhere. I want to make cornbread dressing for Thanksgiving and the only thing I can find is polenta. I know that polenta and cornmeal are both ground corn, except that corn meal is a lot finer ground than polenta. Does any one know if I could get the same sort of texture from polenta if I put it in the food processor?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
I am eating healthy these days and bought a food processor to help me make soups, salads, sauces, etc. I’ve seen the chefs on TV throw ingredients or cooked soups into food processors, push a button and puree everything quickly. I tried to make my first sauce a few days ago, a marinade with herbs and vinegar and such, and when I turned the food processor on, the ingredients quickly flew to the outside of the bowl and refused to be chopped. I scooped it all back to the middle and tried again, but none of the ingredients came together or were even chopped a little bit. Is my food processor broken? Am I doing it wrong? Or is a blender just a better appliance for the job? Thanks!
There are only two blads and the other is for slicing, so it has to be the right one. The blades are brand new and sharp. It’s probably the small quanity that caused the problem. I will never be processing that much, so perhaps a blender or immersion blender is better for me.
I bought one at Kohl’s on black friday. I was really excited…but it will not crisp up the waffles at all. I am going to take it back…but now I have my heart set on a nice waffle maker. I ultimately want the KitchenAid one that makes 2 waffles at the same time…but it is so expensive. So, I am definitely keeping my options open. Which one do you own..and do you recommend it?
Btw, this is the one I bought.

It wasn’t a pre-made mix that I used. It was a recipe I have used before in a different waffle maker that turned out the most beautiful waffles. But, it did have both eggs and milk in it.
My son eats pureed foods and I’ve tried the Cuisinart Mini Food Prep Prossesor…. BOOOO!!! It smelled like the motor was going to burn up… And it wasn’t even working that hard! And it left big chuncks of food. I’m using a blender now… and it’s such a pain to get all of the food out from around and under the blades! It takes so long just to blend up his foods. I was wondering if the Magic Bullet would be good for the use I need it for? Or maybe a different food processor? I was thinking of saving up some money and buying one of the good ones… Like the 0-200 ones… I’m just tired of dealing with the blender…
Hey, recently started doing some cooking and don’t have either of the above, but alot of the recipes require me to use a Food processor to mix stuff up, for example cream crackers, garlic and some herbs, some others have more some even less, some recipes like soup i need a hand blended to blend them.
I don’t really fancy buying each of them as i don’t have alot of spare cash, so can i just buy a Hand blender like: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4232331/Trail/searchtext%3EHAND+BLENDER.htm and can it do both he same jobs? it has a little Food processor tub so i Guess i only need to buy one of these? or will i still need both?
