This week we have been learning about inventions in the kitchen. We had to either do a poster, a power point or a speech to present our kitchen invention. I choose to do the food processor. Here is my speech...
Food Processor
The idea of a machine to process foods began when a french catering company owner Pierre Verdun took note on how much time his workers spent in the kitchen chopping, shredding and mixing. He produced a simple but effective solution to his problem, a bowl with a revolving blade in the base.
How it works...
In the bottom of the processor there is a motor. The motor is the heaviest part of the machine. The motor holds the machine in place so that it doesn't move around a lot. Next, on top of the motor is a cover. The cover protects the motor from any food. Coming out of the cover is a vertical shaft that spins around and holds the attachments in place. Around the shaft is a large bowl to hold the food in. The bowl usually has a handle to make moving the device easier.
There are three different size bowls full, compact and mini. Full size bowls are usually attached to a more powerful motor that can weigh up to one kg. Coming out of the top of the bowl is a food tube. The food tube allows you to insert food while the machine is still in action.
A basic Food processor comes with a standard attachment, which is good for mixing. They are normally an 's' shaped blade. They are also known as the sabatier blade. The sabatier blade sits at the bottom of the bowl.
The first food processor was only white and was really heavy. But now days you can get Food Processors that are lighter and in a range of stylish colour to match your kitchen interior.
I wonder what colour I will get?
