12 Easy Ways to Use a Food Processor | Allrecipes 

Thanks for watching! What other tips and tricks do you have for putting a food processor to good use?

You make the food processor appear like the coolest machine one could ever get! 😆👍🏼

That "milky liquid" that comes from making butter is buttermilk. You can use it for making pancakes, biscuits, scones, marinades, ande more. Don't pour that out.

For 50 years I’ve been grating carrots with a box grater when I make carrot cake. I didn’t know how to use all the attachments for my food processor. I didn’t think it would grate the carrots the way I like them! Yes, this video was very exciting to me! 💕

I use the slicer blade with frozen chicken breast or semi frozen steaks/beef or pork to slice thinly for stir fry. I use the shredder side for bulk cheese purchases to freeze shredded cheese. I use the slicer blade for prepping cabbage for sauerkraut. I use my food processor for so much but I enjoyed learning how to make butter and using for bread. Can’t wait to try this out

Best Food Processor tutorial ever! With charisma like yours you should have your own show.

I use my food processor to quickly grate a couple of pounds of frozen butter, which I store in plastic containers in the freezer and use for quick puff pastry and flakey biscuits. So convenient.

When she took that sip and started dancing. Love it!🤣

Isn’t often a food prep video has me laughing out loud, but yours did 😝 nice, quick, to the point explanations and demos. You made it fun and I liked that, thank you 🥳🙌🍸

I used my new Cuisinart 14 to make homemade Lara bars yesterday. Cherry ginger....1 1/2 cup almonds, 1 cup moistened dates, 1/2 cup black figs and 1/2 cup dried cherries, 1 tsp fresh grated ginger. Whiz until it clumps together, mash into an 8 inch square pan lined with paper and chill before cutting into bars. YUM!

aren't you an absolute delight. so glad i found your channel. i have a food processor that hardly ever gets used, but you have inspired me to dust it off and re engage. cheers.

Thank you so much for this my wife just spent £300 on a food processor for making smoothies for health and now you have shown me I can make top quality homemade Sausage rolls from it. 🙈🙊🙉❤️❤️❤️ Much love

I do my cauliflower ricing with the grating blade. It comes out perfect and you don't have to worry about over processing it.

Whoa! Where have you been?! Nicole this is the first time I’ve seen you on any food prep video let alone All Recipes! Holy 🐮! I’m excited and upset at the same time! You’re funny ,creative, talented… WTH?! Thank God “All Recipes” got a much needed refresh 🙏🏼♥️

Such a great inspiration! Why have I not had one of these in my life. I just found a recipe for chicken nuggets and they just threw in a chicken breast, 2 thick slices of boiled potato, bit of red onion, salt and pepper then pushed the button and scooped out spoons full of this into a fry pan. I can't wait to buy one. The nice cream looks fab!

I just dug out my food processor from storage and now I am anxious to get to work doing some of the things you show! Thanks so much for the tips and omg! Can't wait to do the bread! :D

Love how fast you explain things , and how you just make us feel good !!

Sausage..GASP! My husband used to make sausages in casing but hated the process and stopped. They were better than anything store bought. We even have a sausage making cookbook. Yay! I can make it in the food processor. Thank you!

Thank you for showing us all these food processor tricks!

Just discovered this channel, love it! Presenter doesn’t talk too much, not shouty, not too loud, not shouting hey look at me! Just like talking, sharing with friends. Love her style (Sorry, didn’t catch your name). Don’t normally post comments. A rare find. Subscribed with no hesitation!

Have a beautiful day to everyone who reads🥰

All your suggestions are spot on, except grinding meats. We make our own sausage (yup, got the idea from you) but don’t like the consistency using the food processor, so we went to our Kitchen Aid meat grinder and like it better, but everything else works great. I LOVE your videos, and you constantly challenge me to try new things, and new methods. You rock!!!

Excellent, articulate presentation. You can make tuna or egg salad, potatoes au gratin, taco veggies and grated cheese, all in the food processor. I use mine all the time.

Amazing. My ninja food processor has been sitting there for a year because yes that blade cut me and I was mad at it but now I’ll give it another try. Thanks.

I use mine to make caramel date protein bites. I use 1 c of mejool dates, 1cup of cashews, 1 cup of coconut with 2 t bls of but butter, 2tbs of maple syrup and a pinch of salt a splash of vanilla. Combine and roll into balls. Really good. I make nice cream quite a bit. You can add a splash of vanilla for vanilla or cocoa powder for chocolate. I make my own almond flour as well. I've used my immersion blender for mayo, but will try this! Great video!

My food processor got a lot of down time before I saw this video (today people 😂 unreal i know 😅) but all that has changed ! Thank you 😊

Love, love, love all that you showed in this video! Living in Costa Rica, many foods are difficult to find (various flours for example). So I was finally able last year to find a decent food processor to purchase. Even though I use it constantly, I did learn a lot from your video. Thanks so much, and I especially enjoyed your charismatic personality.

We need an air fryer tutorial! 🥰

Thank you so much for your video! I just got one from my son for my birthday and I'm absolutely in love with it! I love making salsa but my hands are starting to hurt and cramp up when I chop the veggies, so this was a godsend! I love your video and didn't know all the cool things a food processor can do; especially the shaved ice. Thank you so much for your fun video. It was a joy to watch. Here's to shaved ice cocktails with chips and salsa! 🍹

Very informative video I enjoyed it very much just recently bought a food processor as I’m getting into making my own foods and preserves I’ve even started to do my own butchering. There is two things I would do a little differently however when making butter I would squeeze the buttermilk out of the butter and a good way to do this is to run it under a cold water tap as you squeeze out the buttermilk this will make the butter taste a lot better. As for ground meat I would never buy a roast and cut it up to be used for ground beef or ground pork. First of all most of the time there’s not enough fat for ideal ground meat you require 75 to 80% meat, to 25 to 20% fat. I know some people freak out and think that isn’t healthy however animal fat is one of the healthiest fats you can eat as your body will process it extremely quickly and burn it off unlike many other types of fat it’s just like an eating in life everything in moderation. The reason why you at fat to your ground meat is so it is flavour some because with ground meat you have to cook it all the way through and if it is just meat cooked all the way through it generally isn’t the most tasty. You cook the ground meat all the way through to eliminate any forms of bacteria that would be harmful to you when you have a steak the bacteria cannot get inside the meat therefore you can eat it medium rare as by cooking it on each side you’ve eliminated the bacteria unless of course you’ve tenderized it pushing the bacteria into the centre of the meat which means you would have to cook it more to eliminate this problem. If I were you and you wanted to make your own ground meat in a food processor walk into a butcher and ask him to get you trimmings of the meat you wish to grind up. This will be small chunks of meat that will come with the fat you can then select it all out and make a great ground meat and it will be even cheaper than buying a roast. I do have my own meat grinder as I’ve started to make my own sausages and I go to the butcher and ask for trimmings so I can make beef and pork sausages. Also started to use my food processor to make my own patties and a different herbs and spices I can put in is great. Hope you don’t mind the tips and comments I ramble down for a bit but I’m finding making my own foods great.

Looking into my wedding registry & I keep seeing a food processor being recommended. Reading the site descriptions really didn’t help & my mom doesn’t own one. And after watching your video, OMG! I’m a visual person and you’re so easy to understand & entertaining to watch! I’m inspired to get a food processor now that I understand how much easier it makes cooking (don’t we all want that!)

Thank you so much for the tips and for all the variety of recipes!!!😍🥰You make it look so easy!!!👍😊

I cannot thank you enough for this video. I have had a food processor for two decades and had no idea how to use it for anything except shredding vegetables. Thanks!

Great video! Will have to try making butter and mayo. I already make my own salsa and you are so right, so much better than any store bought kind. I add a large dill pickle, which may sound weird but is actually yummy. I also make my own grated Mexican 3 cheese blend. You can use better quality cheeses and then not only is it cheaper, not covered with powder to keep it from sticking, it tastes better. And we go through it too fast for it to get clumpy. I also freeze the cheeses for about 30-35 minutes before I grate them up.

Your personality is a plus to your presentation, keep it up.

This was a fun and funny informational video, thank you! We just bought our first Cuisinart 9 cup and I'm excited to try it out - especially the grated cheese! 🧀

GURL! This was a perfect presentation. Lemme go dust off my (rather new) processor that I initially bought to use for just one thing!!

This video is absolutely amazing!!! I just got a food processor for my birthday and I wish I had this a long time ago lol

Omg, love this food processor multiple uses, awesome!

LOVED this so much. Thank you!

never knew I could do all those things, thank you

Thanks so much for all the ideas! I can't wait to try the nice cream! I never did know what to do with that round thing.. great video!🙂

This is great. I bought my second food processor several months ago and still haven't used it. Maybe it was intimidating for me??? I'm an experienced cook but this is one appliance that I haven't used much. The other one got used pretty much as a blender and chopper and that's it. Your demo helped me to see that all I need is a lineup of ingredients and to just pop them in. Love it.

These are such great ideas. I have never used a food processor but just got a basic model mostly to shred cheese and crunch pork rinds. This opens a whole new world. Thank you.

Just after I got my food processor, my son wanted me to slice beef really thin and even for a recipe he was trying. I took a chance and tried something I had not done before by useing my FP to slice the meat with the long slicing blade that is on the other side of the grader. The meat came out in perfect, even cuts in no time at all. It was wonderful and so was the meal.

I really like the way you present! You're upbeat and professional in your demos. I was on the fence about buying a food processer. I am about to get one and will be looking into models. Many thanks.

Been making bread in my food processor for years. Takes little time and the bread comes out great.

Girl!!!!’ You just changed my kitchen life!! Thank you!!

Perfect video thank you !

Thanks for this video. I needed to know that.

Thank you! So helpful!

Amazing tips!! Thank you

Love watching your videos! Would love some air fryer recipes.

Got my food processor in recent separation. Glad I did. You make it all look so easy. Making a stew. Going to slice some carrots & turnip. Thanks for all the tips!

You’re great at videos , this was so quick and informative . Excellent job thank you .

Thanks for sharing! Love this video. I just purchased a food processor and can't wait to use it 😋

For longer keeping purposes, the newly made butter should be rinsed a lot. (wrapped up into cheesecloth or muslin) and rinsed then squeezed until the water runs clear. The buttermilk will turn the new butter rancid quite quickly, but if you're only making enough butter for use for the day (or so) it's fine. If you use the muslin/cheesecloth, the buttermilk can be reserved for use in other baking.

Thank You. Every time I drag out my F.P. I ask myself why I haven't used it! I forget how wonderful a gadget it is. You blew my mind on some of things you did with it.

Awesome tips! I love making tuna and chicken salad in mine!

Awesome! Looking forward to using this 😊😊

Such a great video. Thank you

Great video. Thanks for reminding me how to make bread in the machine. I will make a loaf sipping on my margarita very soon.

Stumbled here and was thoroughly entertained and reckon you are fabulous. Will watch those tips a number of times I'm sure

Awesome. Thanks for showing this.

Wonderful video, so useful! I had no idea food processor did so much! I have an old small food processor that had the round blade with the holes and slicer slot, never used, had no idea how or what to use it for as instructions were long gone and your video was my needed answer! Glad i found this. Thank You. Going to try it out. Hope it works as I buy shredded carrots every week. Using manual shredder is hazardous and slow.

Totally awesome❤. Thanks for sharing your video. You rock!

Love your tips and recipes! You are a pleasure to watch

Just got my food processor attachment for my Vitamix last night! Between the Vitamix standard container, and the food processor attachment, there isn't anything I can't do!! Looking forward to making some yummy butter for my steaks, and making some mayo that my wife won't actually be allergic to! Thank you for showing me how to better use this!! :)

She’s funny and very informative! The cocktail dancing made me laugh because up until then, she was so focused on the demonstration. 😂

Just been using mine to make Hash browns, cold slaw and pie dough. Thanks for the new ideas.

Awesome clip. Thank you.

Your video is SO GOOD!! Thank you for sharing!! 😁🙏👏

She always makes me smile 😀

Can't wait to use my food processor with confidence! Thank you!

❤️❤️❤️ Absolutely loved this video!!!!

I clicked that Like button when you started dancing ;) ... I just got a food processor a few days ago. Loved this info

I must say, the day i realised you can rasp pumpkin with the food processor changed my life :)) But i think it's also important to mention that what you can chop, depends on your food processor. I have a medium priced one and it can only knead dough for a minute max before it overheats. There's also a special blade for crushing ice and there's many warnings in the manual not to use the other blade for that. Better to read your manuals before trying something your food processor can't handle :)

You are the best. Thanks for all the tips and tricks.

Love the tips thanks I love making pasta dough in my food processor it’s done in seconds and keeps my hands from hurting doing by hand I can’t imagine doing by hand ever again it’s so quick. I love to put garlic in on the peeling disk on the breville peel the garlic then puree and freeze I always have garlic and onions in the freezer puréed it infuses the food so much more this way also but I never have to sit and peel it’s just always ready for me and you can freeze in a ziplock with a thin layer that u can just break pieces off or get small ice trays works like a charm I only keep A few whole heads for when I need large pieces so they don’t burn other than that I use the puree works great for garlic green beans and soups and any dish really

Thanks for this, always was confused on this and the cake mixer stand with kitchen aid .. Wish everything comes together in one package in the future .

Thank you! I've just ordered my first food processor and this has been so helpful and useful, given me loads of ideas! I'm definitely going to start with nut butters and hummus. Thanks so much! 😊

Great video and thank you!

Thanks, awesome video! Getting one ASAP.

You can do lots of stuff with the grater: think of vegetable pancakes, made of grated potato, zuccini, carrots. Or you can make healthy veggie waffles with them.

Shortcrust pastry! Easier, less handling, and fast! You just pulse then whizz your butter into flour, then slowly drizzle your liquid till it starts to come together. Watch it ball up! And you're done! My non-cooking husband made sausage-rolls this way, which a friend said were 'epic'!! 🙂

Thank you! This is the best video I've seen to help me in my decision of getting a food processor! :)

You had me at shaved ice 🥰🤩🥰🤩🥰🤩🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thanks for exuding confidence and getting straight to it. I just purchased one online for my birthday and am excited! 🥳🍾🎉🧁 I’m gonna make: carribean green sauce, Tzatziki, Lebanese garlic sauce, sambal matah, Peruvian aji verde, Aji amarillo, salsa and dressing 😋

Love, love, love, everything you've made. So many awesome ideas. Thank you.

Luv the tutorials♥️and your accent!!

I just bought one! Thank you for the tips!👩‍🍳

Great instructional video. Keep em coming!! 👍

This video is great! Super helpful but also funny lol

NOTE for making caulliflower rice: Learn from my mistakes: You need to "Blanch" the caulliflower first by boiling for a couple minutes and drying it off) before making the rice. Im not sure why but it wont survive the freezer otherwise. it turned into a weird yellow thing in my freezer cuz I missed that step!

best video I ve seen on this matter. ILearned a lot. Thals ALL recipes !

This was such a cute and fun video! Thank you! Can’t wait to make EVERYTHING! 😁

A food processor makes a quick shred of zucchini. Squeeze dry the zucchini afterwards in a kitchen towel (salt then drain for min. 10 min.) then mix with parmesan cheese and season. Form into flat patties then air fry for 18-20 min. Top with sour cream.

It’s so nice to watch someone who is fun, quick and doesn’t go “onnnnnn”. Loved this video and just found you.🤣🤣🤣♥️ just got the same food processor 🎉

Thank you!! Never knew we could use it so many different ways

This is AMAZING for red meat to avoid the "pink slime" generally found in ground beef!!
