But from the beginning ... was my idea that I get a food processor for a fraction of the price of other machine that I can mix and cook.
As I unpacked the machine my ideas were once even surpassed. The machine looks really modern looking, tacky feel and the apple green is lively, yet quite discreet.
The kitchen appliance is roughly divided into two parts. The upper part is almost the pot and mixing bowl. The stainless steel tank has a volume of about 1.75 L, but should not be exceeded during the preparation of soup 1.4L.
The knife is attached to the bottom, as well as in other Mixgefäßen.
There is also a cover must engage firmly to use - otherwise for security reasons does not do anything. In the center of the lid there is an opening for further filling, this can and should be closed during operation with a measuring cup.
The lower part, the core contains the electronics. On the base of one can choose the individual programs, adjust the heat input and select the Mixstufe per knob.
Upon delivery you get a guide that unfortunately contains no recipes with almost guaranteed success to just grope a little of this type of cooking.
It describes over 5 DINA5 pages commissioning, the preset functions and the cleaning and maintenance.
You can mix according to the manufacturer or stir, cook hot and cold dishes, as well as keep warm (40 minutes) and just distinguish between coarse and fine crushing.
The temperature can be selected between 100 ° C / 80 ° C / 60 ° C.
CLEANING
The stirred vessel can be washed by hand. Simple self-cleaning is: 1.5 liters of water with detergent mix at low temperature option.
My personal impression
As written input, the visual impression is a very high quality, which is in no relation to the price.
A well-processed stainless steel mixer with plastic handle and base. On the plastic base suction cups are attached to the machine to help stability.
The device can be simply and easily cleaned. Nothing needs to be built complex apart.
In view of the security you build on the unit an impressive tower in the kitchen. Before long, my son stood together stool next to me, "Mom, I want to watch sometimes." The container is hot from the outside, this has to be said that are pots, kettle and other kitchen equipment also. If children but to pull the tower up, there is the possibility that the jug down tilt of the base. The two elements are not secured to each other.
The cover is locked in place, so far as can be 99% leakage of hot liquid.
A pity, I find that no recipes for product familiarization are given. There are certainly recipes, for example, about Thermomix the net, but I would have recipes for this device desired, with details about instrument setting.
For example, I tried a broccoli cream soup to boil, for that I have once added a little butter with onion pieces and then Broccoli and liquid. The sauté the onion is completely failed, at least I missed the typical taste which is produced by the sweat. Well, such a compromise you have to do well if you want a "simple" cooking.
The simplicity, I personally can not discover. Because I did it with a pressure cooker in my opinion currently easier, at least for soup.
Positive is certainly of use in the preparation of cocoa, rice and other foods that you have to stir constantly on the stove.
However, I will not give up. The device can be really easy to clean so easily that I am willing to even try something and I will perhaps make friends better with the food processor.
