The first food processor was designed by Pierre Verdon, the refined by Carl Sontheimer in 1971, and first found their way onto the American consumer market in the 1970's. Being released in Europe a little earlier, because Verdon was French. A food processor is a cooking appliance that can perform repetitive cooking tasks in the process of food preparation. Presently most of these machines use an electric motor driven design. But, it is still possible to buy manual devices that are also called "food processors". Most food processors use swappable blades, disks and attachments to blend and cut a range of vegetables and foods. The functions of a food processor usually consist of:
- Slicing vegetables.
- Pureeing.
- Chopping vegetables.
- Mixing and kneading doughs for bread.
- Grinding nuts and meat.
- Shredding and grating cheese.

Kenwood
This food processor really suits my post modern kitchen with it's stylish brushed aluminum design. It seems quite a powerful machine, but luckily it's quieter than my old one. I've mainly used it for large scale cake mixing, and up until now has done a good job. The only downside being that the flex is far too short.
My previous Kenwood was a lot more ugly, the standard kind of food processor, which you normally think of when thinking of a food processor. Whereas the 'Major' has a retro appearance, alongside looking like a commercial catering appliance, with it's brushed metal finish. The bad point on my old machine were the noise, and the flimsy and ugly plastic attachments and bowl. Combining the see through plastic bowl, with a white plastic case, all I can say is, yuk.
I finally binned it when the bowl started to form cracks. I really can't blame Kenwood though, it was by far the cheapest food processor available, and I've believed, you pay for what you get. Getting back to 'Major', it can do more than just chop and slice, it can also whisk, dough, and amazingly even make ice cream. It's exceedingly well made, I'd think it will last me a decade. I hope so!
