Looking for a new food blender I saw advertised in a magazine this past month that works as a food processor but without having to change the attachment- you process in the blender jar?

The cbt 500 works as a food processor but not as well as I would like sometimes. It has a nice blade and chops nicel, but the problem comes in the design.

How do you dissemble a food processor?

A food processor basically consists of the following easily manageable, movable and removable parts:

  • A heavy, stable housing unit or base that houses the processor's motor. A food processor's heavy base is designed to provide stability while the appliance is in operation. The base housing unit should remain steady and firm while the motor and spinning blades or discs are in play. The base also typically contains the appliance's power cord and control buttons like on, off and pulse.
  • A shaft that extends up from the base unit and motor and which powers the blades and discs that fit on the shaft.
  • Various chopping and mixing blades and shredding and slicing discs that slide over the shaft
  • A work bowl that fits onto the housing base unit and around the shaft. The work bowl, and thus the food processor size, can range from 2 to about 13 cups of processed food.
  • A work bowl cover that fits on top of the work bowl and keeps the processed food within the food processor.
  • A feed tube and pusher rod or assembly through which the food is introduced into the food processor's bowl, blades and discs.
  • Optional attachments which can include whisks or beaters.

How do you puree black beans without a food processor?

Do you have a blender? Throw the beans in there with their canned liquid (or whatever liquid has accumulated in the pan you're cooking them in or water) and turn that puppy on. If you have enough liquid and you set it high enough, it should puree with no problem. If you don't have a blender (or access to one - ask your neighbor), you could cook them then put them in a mortar and mash them with a pestle, but that would take forever.

Why shouldn't you use a food processor to make mashed potatoes?

Oh no, you definitely don't want to do that! Your mashed potatoes would go really gummy and become like glue. Very bad from both a taste and texture point of view. This is because when you overwork the potatoes, you crush and damage the cell walls, which releases starch, which when released in excess, will become like glue. You want to work your potatoes as little as possible, by cooking them thoroughly until they fall apart easily when you use a masher or ricer, then gently fold in the milk and butter, and try to disturb the potatoes as little as possible.
