From batters to flours, a food processor is a one-stop solution in the kitchen. The electric appliance cuts off manual tasks and improves your efficiency. While you can create 1-2 recipes using traditional methods, the food processor allows you to prepare a lavish feast in just a couple of hours.
While you are looking for the best options for your kitchen, don’t forget to check out Usha’s food processor that comes with multiple attachments and six blades. It is one of the best appliances you can add to your kitchen this festive season and enjoy preparing delicacies this Diwali.
Before you start using the processor, you must read the manual. Here are some don’ts that you must be wary of while using Usha’s kitchen appliance.
Don’t Overfill Bowls
You must know the limits of the jars - multipurpose jar (1.2L), blend jar (1.8L), bowl (3.5L), and chutney jar (0.5L). Beyond a limit, you must stop adding ingredients. You should keep some space empty on the top so that ingredients can move around effortlessly when you switch on the appliance.
Don’t Handle Blades Carelessly
Blades are the essence of Usha’s food processor. They, slicer, grater, chopper, and shredder are sharp, hence, you must hold them correctly and clean them after every use. You must also use the atta kneader and whisker with care. If anything happens to the blades, the food processor won’t function well.
Don’t Forget To Put On Lid
This is electrical appliance 101. You cannot forget to put on the lid, else, you will end up with a messy kitchen - splashes on the wall, ceiling, shelves, and whatnot. Securing the lid will prevent leaks and help you achieve the right texture and consistency of the batter, flour, paste, smoothie, etc.
Don’t Use Hot Liquid
While using Usha’s food processor, avoid filling the jars with hot ingredients and liquids. A simple physics logic says that if you enclose anything hot in a container, it will cause pressure to develop which can lead to spills and even damage to the appliance. Always cool down ingredients before grinding them into a powder or paste in the food processor.
Don’t Run For A Long Time
While Usha’s food processor comes with a powerful motor, it has its limits. If you want the appliance to work efficiently for years, do not run it longer than 15-20 minutes. Give it a break to cool off, and switch it on again. It will prevent overheating of the appliance and ensure the processor does not damage.
Don’t Forget To Clean
After using the food processor, always ensure to clean it. If you don’t have time, just run it through tap water so that food particles are removed. You can wash the jars and blades with soap later. This will prevent bacterial growth in the jars, lids, and blades and ensure that whatever ingredients you blend in the processor are not contaminated.
