KitchenAid KFPW760 Food Processor, 12 Cup Wide Mouth Review

KitchenAid KFPW760 Food Processor, 12 Cup Wide Mouth

Very unhappy with this much touted processor You can't make a decent pesto sauce, neither the small blade for mini bowl, or normal multipurpose blade chops basil or small leaves well..For pesto you need a different appliance or mortar and pestle, not this behemoth. Worse, it is impossible to clean the multipurpose blade inside the shaft. When you make a paste or forcemeat it sticks like crazy glue to the plastic and no amount of soaking, heavy duty cycles in the dishwasher or wishful thinking can get the gunk out of the blade. Other foods stick to the plastic bowl - very difficult to clean, even after two runs in a good dishwasher. Kitchen Aid customer service couldn't offer any advice. Totally useless to call them. They are of absolutely no help.
This appliance is very heavy, don't count on taking it out each time. It has to have a dedicated spot on the counter. Doesn't come with fine slicing or shredding blade. Pulse action works well. Next time I'll go back to the more reliable and user-friendly Cuisinart.

The industry's largest feed tube for less pre-cutting, plus a citrus juicer and two extra bowls for smaller tasks, make this processor versatile and easy to use.

The 10-cup chef's bowl slips inside the 12-cup work bowl to keep it clean while processing smaller items or quantities; exclusive 4-cup mini bowl and mini blade give you a convenient chopper for garlic, nuts or herbs. Also includes two food pushers, egg whip, dough blade, and accessory case. Wipe-clean seamless base ensures quiet operation. 1 year limited warranty. Imported. 10 1/2" x 8 1/2" x 16"H. 16 lbs.

Nesco American Harvest Fruit Roll Sheets for FD-27 & FD-50 Review

My mother has these and I used to make lots of fruit rolls with them - lots of fun, and a good treat! I recommend mixing applesauce with (thawed) frozen fruit juice concentrate of your choice to make whatever flavor you like. My favorite was mixing grape fruit juice concentrate with the applesauce. It makes a very deep purple and fruity treat. (Ratio was one can frozen concentrate to a big jar of applesauce. I'll edit my post and add specific sizes soon.)

These sheets allow you to dry liquids and semi-liquids in a dehydrator easily, without a big mess to clean up at the end. Make your own fruit leather with no added sugar or preservatives, it's so easy even a kid can do it (just pour fruit purEe, like applesauce, onto the sheet). You can even dry soups and sauces for future use, which might come in really handy for camping or travelling.

Omega 8003 Nutrition Center - Wheatgrass, Fruits and More Review

I bought this juicer mainly to juice green vegetables. As I don't like salads and find it pretty difficult to get raw vegetables in my diet, otherwise. It works great, very nice machine, well worth the money. The only thing I've found that didn't juice well all the time so far has been plums. I think, the softer the fruit, the more difficult its going to be to juice. I usually don't have problems with plums, though, I only had trouble one time. ...As far as the taste. Well, add an apple or two and you can consume even the bitterest of greens (kale, collard greens, ect). Which, of course, are the best ones for you. This was, personally, my main reason for buying it.
Anyways, if you're looking for an inexpensive, good quality, masticating style juicer for juicing vegetables...Then I would say; Look no further, this is your machine. The only other thing Ive tried with it was making an almond butter. And it does this quite well, as well. Although, you do have to add a decent amount of oil. I used walnut oil and it turned out pretty nice. Add a bit of honey to sweeten and you're set. A lot fresher than buying the jarred stuff. Plus, it gives you the option of soaking the nuts, which is said to make digestion easier. I've seen nut butters that use soaked nuts sell at VERY high prices in health food stores. So, if you're into soaking/sprouting foods, this would be a huge money saver.
My only complaint would be that its a bit time consuming. I'd say it takes at least a half an hour to wash/cut produce, juice, and clean parts. ...Perhaps even a bit longer, depending on how quick you are. The parts are very easy to clean, though, and assembly is a snap after you get used to how it all connects. All in all, I'd say its certainly worth the time spent.
