11 Types Of Food Processor Blades And How To Use Them

1.

S-Shaped Blades

The S-shaped blade is probably the most common blade on a food processor. It contains two curved blades that stick out on separate ends forming, as you would expect, an "S" shape. These blades are the most versatile when it comes to slicing, chopping, grinding, and grating, which explains why they are so commonly used.

You can use them to make nut butter, chopped tomatoes for salsa, and a host of other applications. These blades can also be placed on a pulse setting to chop ingredients evenly if you don't feel like getting out your chef knife to do it manually.

2. Julienne Blades

Julienne blades have the appearance of small snake teeth. Their pointy razor-sharp edges are great for creating straw-like cuts. For example, if you are looking to make homemade hash browns, vegetable sticks, or garnishes, julienne blades are definitely the way to go. Y

ou can also use them for making non-cook squash pasta recipes as well. Their ability to turn zucchini and spaghetti squash into spaghetti-like strands is absolutely unmatched.

3. Serrated Blades

Serrated blades are great for pureeing and chopping vegetables of all sizes. You can also use these blades for dicing up frozen products or meat. If you are looking to create nut butter, these blades will get the job done. You can also use them to create small batches of minced meat to use in soups or broths.

4. Slicing Blades

The name of these blades speaks for itself. They come on a disc and are attached to the top section of the food processor. They are ideal for slicing up vegetables and fruits. When you toss the food down the chute, these blades will quickly slice it into very thin and flat stripes in a matter of seconds. Some advanced food processors have a setting where you can make these slices as thick or as thin as you want.

5. Perforated Blades

Perforated blades work well for creating liquid-based dishes such as sauces, hummus, and pesto. These blades will quickly grind through any vegetable, fruit, and other foods to break them down into a liquified form. If you are looking to create a new cocktail sauce for your shrimp, these are the blades that you want to use.

6. Shredding & Grating Blades

Shredding and grating blades are the ideal choices for cutting any type of cheese. You can use them to cut string cheese, shred soft goat milk cheese, or grate hard cheeses such as parmesan or aged cheddar. They can also be used for grating the zest from citrus fruits such as lemon, lime, orange, and grapefruit. So if you are into creating a homemade essential oil from citrus fruits, here are the blades to use.

7. Dicing Blades

Prefer not to dice your fruits and vegetables by hand? No problem. You can use a processor to do it for you. These dicing blades typically come in sets of 2 and are capable of creating a variety of dice-style cuts and patterns. If you are looking for precise dices that are even and easy to make, these blades will do the trick.

With them, you can create diced fruits for fruit salads or diced vegetables for stews, soups, and everyday snacks. The options are endless when it comes to these blades.

8. French Fry Blades ("Crimping Blades")

French fries are one of the most common staple foods in American cuisine, but trying to make them at home can seem like such a chore. Potatoes can be hard to cut, and if you are cooking for a large family, it can become very time-consuming. In which case, a processor that has crimping or "french fry" blades can definitely come in handy.

Not only do they allow you to make evenly cut thin or thick french fry shapes, but they also do so in a fraction of the time that it will take you to produce those same cuts by hand. You can also use these blades for slicing up vegetables for Asian dishes or vegetable pasta.

9. Whipping Disc Blades

These types of blades serve to create textures, sauces, and desert bases. If you are baking a pie or a cake and need to whip up a batch of cream, these discs are the way to go. You can also use them to create your own homemade butter, pesto, or sauces. The great thing about these blades is that they can cut your prep time down significantly and can save you from the hand and wrist strain that can come from manually whipping thick liquids and bases.

10. Brunoise Blades

These blades are used to create super small dices which can be applied to pasta, soups, and salads. If you prefer your vegetables or fruits to have the smallest size possible, look no further. You can also use them to create small bouillon cubes for dishes such as chili, rice, or stew.

These blades may not come with your everyday food processor, so you may have to search for processors that specifically include them or that have an attachment that you can purchase separately.

11. Gaufrette Blades ("Waffle Blades")

If you are a potato fan, you will love these food processor blades. They are typically used to create waffle fries, potato chips, and several different types of garnishes and sides. These are another blade option that may not come standard to processors, so you may need to determine if your food processor comes with an attachment for these.

How do you clean a food processor blade?

Cleaning your food processor blades is really simple. The most important thing to remember is to never use abrasive cleaners on your discs and blades, as they can cause them to corrode and eventually rust over. To clean the discs and blades, start by rinsing them off immediately after you use them so that the food will not dry on them.

If you cannot reach between the surface of the blades with your scrubbing pad or sponge, use a small bristle brush or a disposable toothbrush to get in between them. You can also use a water bottle brush as well. If you find that your blades have stubborn odors or stains on them, try using a homemade solution to quickly get rid of them. Here's how to do it.

Start by placing the blades in a large bowl. Next, pour an equal ratio of water and vinegar inside the bowl. Then, add 1 tablespoon of baking soda into the mixture and allow the blades to soak in the bowl for about 5-10 minutes. Afterward, clean the blades with warm soapy water and rinse them thoroughly.

Buff them with a clean dry cloth and set them aside to dry. You can take a textured scrubber or regular dish sponge and gently scrub the blades from top to bottom. Be careful when cleaning the blades. It's best to clean the blades with your hands positioned outside of the dishwater so that you can see everything that you're doing.

You can throw the blades in the dishwasher or you can wash them manually. If you plan on tossing the blades in the dishwasher, be sure to use a mild detergent, as harsh detergents can wear down the plastic that surrounds the blades. You also want to avoid placing the dishwasher on a hot water setting, as this can also cause the plastic to melt. Place the blades on the top rack, too.

Can you sharpen a food processor blade?

Yes, you can sharpen the blades on your food processor yourself or you can have them professionally sharpened. If you decide to go the DIY route, make sure to purchase cut-resistant gloves before you sharpen the blades. Food processor blades are short and have a lot of curves, so it's always best to err on the side of caution to avoid injury-- which can occur very easily with these blades.

The quickest way to sharpen your blades is by using a ceramic sharpener. A ceramic blade sharpener the most commonly used sharpener for a food processor and blender blades. You can buy them in most department stores or online for around $40.

When using a ceramic blader sharpener, always do a test run before sharpening the entire blade so that you can quickly determine how long you'll need to spend on each blade. You don't want to ruin the blades by over-sharpening them. Clean your blades after you sharpen them to remove any metal residue or oil.

What is the plastic blade for on a food processor?

Most food processors come with a plastic blade. It is called a "dough blade." This blade has short blunt arms that work to gently turn and pull the dough to knead it. They do not extend to the outside rim of the processor's reservoir, which makes these blades a bit limited in their ability to effectively knead flour.

They can be especially ineffective when only a small amount of dough is being used. Many consumers often find it better to just knead the dough by using their hands.

Wrapping Things Up

We hope that this post has introduced you to the number of blade options available for food processors and the best applications for them. Remember, before buying a new food processor, think about the types of cuts that you'll need to create with the processor.

How to Use a Food Processor — A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners

A good food processor can chop, slice, dice, knead and puree, making it one of the most versatile tools you can have in your kitchen. But if you’re unfamiliar with how to use your food processor or you don't know about all the kitchen tasks it can accomplish, there’s a good chance your handy appliance is sitting around underutilized.

The Good Housekeeping Institutes Kitchen Appliances and Technology Lab regularly tests food processors and evaluates each unit's ease of use, cleaning and assembly, plus the variety of settings it has to offer. Our experts carefully measure food processors' performance by using them to slice and shred vegetables, dice onions, mince parsley, grate cheese and knead dough. The best units, like our winning 12-cup Breville Sous Chef, have the right capacity, accessories and power to handle all these tasks and more. While a food processor can’t fully replace your chef’s knife, it can save you a lot of time in the kitchen by speeding up tedious tasks.

Ready to start slicing and dicing? Here’s everything you need to know to get the most out of your food processor:

How to assemble your food processor

Before you start using your food processor, you’ll need to make sure all the parts are clean and properly assembled. Most food processors come with an electric base, a plastic work bowl, a blade shaft, multiple blades, a work bowl lid, a feed tube and a plunger.

  1. Place the work bowl onto the base. With the unit unplugged, fit the work bowl onto the electrical base, making sure it’s securely attached.
  2. Insert the blade adapter. If the vertical blade adapter is not already built into the appliance, attach it now to the center of the work bowl.
  3. Attach the appropriate blade or accessory. For most dicing, chopping and pureeing, you should attach the standard S-blade that comes with your appliance. For kneading dough, attach the soft dough accessory. For slicing or shredding, attach the round slicing blade that will sit at the top of the work bowl.
  4. Attach the work bowl lid. To prevent food from splattering and to make using the food processor as safe as possible, you should attach the lid to your work bowl before mixing anything. You can add ingredients directly into the work bowl before putting the lid on, or add ingredients through the feed tube, depending on the recipe.
  5. Plug in and use your food processor. Once your food processor is safely assembled, plug it into the appropriate outlet and get to cooking! Make sure to unplug the appliance before cleaning or changing the blade while the work bowl is in place.

What size food processor do I need?

A standard food processor has a wide work bowl with a capacity between 2 and 14 cups — we recommend larger models between 12 and 14 cups for the most versatility. An S-shaped blade sits in the bottom of the bowl, and the blade can be plain-edged or serrated; the plain edge delivers clean cuts and is better for chopping meat and most vegetables, while the serrated blades can puree as well, working well on nut butters and frozen ingredients.

Most food processors have one speed, though some can have high, medium and low settings. The highest setting is good for smooth purees and working through tough ingredients, while the low setting is good for processing softer ingredients.

A pulse setting is great for incrementally chopping food and controlling the blade to limit your risk of over processing. It’s also great for getting an even chop: The stop-and-go motion allows unprocessed items from the top to fall onto the blade to be processed. Otherwise, items close to the blade just continue to be processed, making the bottom more fine than the top. (If your appliance doesn’t have a pulse setting, you can manually pulse.)

Blades and accessories

In addition to the basic S-blade, many food processors come with slicing and shredding discs, dough blades, dicing attachments and other accessories. Switching blades and discs and using different speeds — plus the pulse function — allows you to have more control over your ingredients and get the most out of your appliance. Always handle your blades with care.

What should I use my food processor for?

Food processors are good for much, much more than just dicing vegetables. Here are some everyday kitchen tasks your processor can handle with ease.

Food processor mistakes to avoid

Although good food processors are fairly durable and versatile, they can’t accomplish everything. Avoid these mistakes to get the best results (and the longest lifespan) out of your appliance.

Safety in use

Before using for the first time
Be careful when unpacking the slicing/mixing knives and reversible slicing/grating discs. The blades are very sharp and can cause injury.
To avoid injury, ensure that the raised finger grips on the plastic housing are used to remove the blades from the plastic packaging, and carefully remove the cardboard and tape from the reversible slicing/grating discs. Save the plastic cases for safe storage.
Before using the Cuisinart Easy Prep Pro for the first time, clean the large and small work bowls, work bowl lid, pusher attachment, chopping/mixing knives and both slicing/grating discs.

  1. Work bowl selection
    • The food processor comes with two work bowls.
    • The large work bowl has a maximum capacity of 1.9 liters and can be used with a large chopping/mixing blade and two reversible slicing and grater/shredding discs.
    • The small work bowl has a maximum capacity of 0.7 l and can only be used with the small chopping/mixing blade. The seal on the inner bowl prevents any leakage into the large work bowl, allowing you to use the small bowl without having to wash the large bowl after use.
      NB The large work bowl must always be installed before the small work bowl can be installed inside.
      It will not always be possible to use the work bowls at full capacity. The amount of food/liquid you can process in the bowls will depend on the density of the ingredients in the work bowl and the consistency of the desired end result. For the former amp That is, to achieve a consistent result when chopping or puréing nuts, fruits, vegetables or meat, you may need to process in batches of 300-500g. If you are kneading a dough that can be very thick, you may need to process in batches of around 400g.
      If you find that the motor is running rough or the results are uneven, we recommend that you reduce the amount of ingredients in the work bowl and process in batches instead.
      For liquids, we recommend that you do not fill the cups above the maximum liquid level mark on each cup (700 ml in the large work bowl and 300 ml in the small work bowl). a leak.
      NB If you are processing a very thin liquid such as water in a large bowl, you may need to reduce the amount of liquid to about 600 ml to keep liquid from running out from under the lid.
  2. Blade/disc selection
    Use the chopping/mixing knives for chopping, blending, mixing and puréing.
    • The large chopping/mixing knife can only be used with the large work bowl.
    • Small chopping/mixing blade can only be used with the small work bowl.
      Use one of the double-sided discs for slicing and shredding.
    • Use one disc for fine slicing (2 mm) and fine grating/shredding.
    • Use another disc for medium slicing (4 mm) and medium grater/shredder. Both discs are labeled accordingly.

    IMPORTANT: Never store blades or discs on the motor spindle. Do not place a blade or disc on the spindle unless the processor is in use.
    MAINTENANCE: Any other service must be performed by an authorized service representative.

    Problem Solving

    Q The food is processed unevenly.
    A: Ingredients must be cut evenly into 2.5 cm pieces before processing.
    A: Process in batches to avoid overload.
    B: The slices are uneven or slanted.
    A: Place the evenly cut product, cut side down, into the feed tube. Press down on the pusher evenly.
    B: Food falls into the feed tube.
    A: Feed tube must be filled completely and evenly for best results. The ingredients should fit snugly, but not so tightly that it interferes with the movement of the pusher.
    Q: Some food remains on the surface of the disc.
    A: It is normal for small pieces to remain; cut the remaining pieces by hand and add to the processed ingredients.
    Q: The engine does not start.
    A: There is a safety interlock to prevent the engine from starting if it is not assembled correctly. Make sure the work bowl(s) and work bowl lid are securely in place. If the engine still does not start, check the power cord and outlet.
    Q: Food processor turns off during operation.
    A: Lid may have unlocked; make sure it is securely fastened. A protective device in the motor prevents it from overheating caused by excessive load. Press the OFF control button and wait 20-30 minutes for the food processor to cool down before restarting.
    B: Cannot lock work bowl lid
    A: Make sure the rubber seal is fully seated on the small work bowl, making sure the lip of the tape covers the circumference of the bowl and is not lifted/loosened at any point.
    Q: The motor has slowed down during operation.
    A: This is normal as some heavier loads such as cutting/chopping cheese may require more engine power. Just move the food into the feed tube and try again.
    A: In addition, the maximum load capacity may have been exceeded. Remove some of the ingredients and continue processing.
    Q: The food processor vibrated/moved on the countertop during processing.
    A: This is normal, as under heavier loads (such as slicing/chopping cheese) the engine may work harder.
    A: Make sure the rubber feet on the bottom of the unit are clean and dry. Also make sure that the maximum load capacity is not exceeded.
    B: Fluid leaks from small bowl into large work bowl under
    A: Make sure the rubber seal is properly seated on the small work bowl.
    A: Make sure the maximum fluid fill mark is not exceeded. If you are processing liquid above the maximum fill line, it is possible that liquid will seep down through the center spindle.

    How to use a food processor correctly: 10 tips

    A food processor is a valuable helper for modern housewives. He can:

    1. Shred products;
    2. Mix components;
    3. Knead the dough;
    4. Cook minced meat;
    5. Beat egg whites.

    And many other useful things. Therefore, it is very disappointing when, due to ignorance of the basics of using the device, such a necessary device in the kitchen fails.

    In order for the unit to serve faithfully for many years, it is worth adhering to simple rules for its operation and cleaning. Which ones? Described in the article.

    How to use a food processor correctly?

    Devices are often easy to operate (for example, the device from Philips), all the details of their setup and operation are reflected in the instructions. However, before you start creating a culinary masterpiece, you should use the following recommendations.

    Tip #1. Only use the accessories for the intended purpose. Knives, whisks, graters should be used for a certain type of raw material (meat, vegetables, egg whites, etc.). For example, sharp blades come in handy when you need to grind the solid components of a future meal. Slightly blunt - for mixing products.

    Tip #2. Do not use units continuously. The machine can be disabled by overheating the motor if a large amount of raw material is processed without pauses. Information about how much “rest” the unit needs is usually indicated in the instructions, if this data is not available, about 30 seconds of a break is needed for every 3-7 minutes.

    Tip #3. Grind components before loading into the device. Regardless of the power of the device, it is imperative to cut vegetables and fruits into cubes, circles, any shapes before processing in the unit. Pieces that are too large can weaken or damage the engine or even shorten its life.

    Tip #4 . Close the cover of the unit tightly. This will prevent leakage while the ingredients are being processed. Most appliances make a clicking sound when the lid is well closed. Also, some specimens have a seal on the lid for better tightness of the device (for example, Gorenje SBR 1000BE).

    Tip #5. Do not open the lid until the end of the work process. This can lead to injury to the user (for example, with a rotating knife), splashing of ingredients in different directions, failure of the unit.

    Tip #6. Wash all instrument containers thoroughly after use. Then dry all nozzles. Dried food residues on the knives will lead to premature blunting of the blades, and not dried moisture can not only spoil the components being mixed, but also affect the performance of the device.

    Tip #7. Do not "fit" accessories to your machine to replace lost or damaged ones. You do not need to grind nozzles yourself or purchase similar ones, take them from other devices. It is necessary to use only branded components that correspond to the model of the device. Cheap analogues will only aggravate the situation and can lead to irreparable damage to the kitchen appliance, not to mention the lost warranty.

    These simple tips on how to properly use your food processor will help prolong the life of your appliance and eliminate the need to spend money on repairs or buying a new one to replace a damaged unit.

    How to clean a food processor?

    After the end of the cooking process, it is imperative to clean the unit (outside and inside).

    How to do it right:

    Before using the device, it is also not superfluous to tidy up all the details, especially if the unit has been inactive for a long time.

    The kitchen combine is a useful piece of equipment that will last for many years if properly cared for (as an option, Sencor STM3700 WH). One has only to remember that you need to tightly close the lid during cooking, prevent the motor from overheating, chop the ingredients and use the right products for a certain mode.
