On Thanksgiving morning, as a tradition, I make these amazing puff pastries that I fill with a homemade whipped topping.  Each year when I make the pastry (as well as the rest of the year when making homemade bread, doughnuts, pizza crust, etc.) I think what a difference a stand alone mixer would make.  The dough could be getting all kinds of a beat down while my hands are free to chop, cut, blend, throw chocolate into my mouth… you know, the necessities.

Black & Decker food processor

You know what a fool I am for kitchen gadgets and appliances. My knees get weak when I’m in the kitchen gadgets and kitchen appliance aisles. One of my favorite appliances ever is actually one that I wasn’t sure I’d ever use – my food processor.

I have a killer cutting board () and a fantastic set of knives (), as well as several hand-held graters. I honestly just didn’t think I needed a food processor.

Silly woman.

I use my food processor more often than I ever realized I would. It’s so fast, easy, and efficient. I know my hummus recipes, salsas, and pico de gallo wouldn’t be nearly as winsome without it. I used it recently when making salmon patties, too. The crackers, onions, salmon, lemons, and celery took a fun (abbreviated) spin and the patties were remarkable.

The food processor at the top of the post is the Black & Decker 10-Cup Food Processor from Cymax Stores. I trust any appliance with the name Black & Decker on it. It’s been good to me.

Features:

  • Food processor has a white and grey finish
  • Food processor has 400 watts of power
  • Food processor has a 10 cup capacity
  • Pulse setting, chops
  • Nonskid feet
  • Safety lock to prevent accidental operation
  • Includes reversible slice/shred disc

Chop, slice, blend, mix and more with this Black & Decker 10-Cup Food Processor. With four hundred watts of power, the food processor features pulse settings and can hold up to ten cups.

The 10-Cup Food Processor has numerous safety features, including non-skid feet, so your kitchen can be as safe as it is delicious.
