As we’ve finally reached the Summer and its outstanding weather with the super warm sun begging us to go outside, there’s no better time to be in the garden than the Summer. This special hot yearly seasons brings us very long days and lots of sunshine all day long, and that also means that you can more easily grow a thriving plot of summer veggies and fruits for fresh salads, healthy snacking, and canning and preserving for winter. However, preparing those fruits and vegetables can sometimes be boring, as there’s usually a lot of cutting and dicing involved. But that time-consuming process of “prepping” your fruits and veggies can quickly come to an end, and that’s by using the Hamilton Beach 14-Cup Professional Food Processor (70825).
The Hamilton Beach 14-Cup Professional Food Processor can literally do it all, as this professional food processor was designed to be used by passionate home-chefs, and that includes every “food prepping” functionality you might need such as dicing, slicing, shredding, kneading, chopping, mixing and even make puree, all to your exact specifications.
As such, you’re offered a high-quality “food prepping” performance device for your kitchen countertop that’ll allow you to easily get precise and fast results whenever you’re looking to prepare 3-5 minutes fresh and healthy meals mainly based on fruits and veggies for your whole family.
Let’s have a more detailed look at this professional food processor and check what it is all about.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with its size, the Hamilton Beach 14-Cup Professional Food Processor (70825) is actually somewhat small, measuring just 12 inches long by 9.5 inches wide by 17 inches tall, and as such, it won’t really take much of the remaining available space at your kitchen countertop.
Best of all, thanks to its small size, after you’re done using it, you can easily store the unit in a corner to free up some space for other kitchen utensils.
The entire unit also features a heavy-duty construction, as it is only made with high-quality and ultra-durable materials, which basically means that the food processor can also withstand the occasional accidental “bump” when moving other kitchen utensils around it.
The Hamilton Beach 14-Cup Professional Food Processor also comes equipped with a 14 Cup BPA-Free Bowl that features a removable Pour Spout Dust Cover Silicone Lid (located at the top of the bowl) that offers a reliable Leak-Free Seal.
The food processor’s high-quality BPA-Free Bowl can hold a total of 14 cups of dry ingredients or exactly 8 cups of liquid ingredients.
The bowl’s mess-free Pour Spout Dust Cover ultimately makes pouring liquid ingredients into the bowl a very clean process.
Not only that, but the food processor’s bowl was specially designed to stack directly onto the unit’s base, which means that you’ll always be provided with a very easy assembling process.
You won’t even have the need to twist and rotate the bowl around to lock it into place, as the food processor’s lid always snaps securely to its bowl with a heavy-duty die-cast locking arm.
Additionally, the food processor’s powerful built-in 600-Watt Motor Hub is sealed within the bowl, and that ultimately eliminates the risk of liquids escaping through the bottom of the unit.
Lastly, the food processor also features a very large 3-in-1 Feeding Tube/Feeding Chute (one of the largest on the market when it comes to food processors) that’s equipped with a wide “Feeding Mouth”.
As such, the food processor’s 3-in-1 Large Feeding Tube can very easily fit whole foods, making it very easy for “at-home cooks” to feed anything and everything into the unit. From slender carrots to whole fruits, whatever type of food you need to prepare, worry not, as there will be no need at all for you to precut those ingredients.
Furthermore, instead of using the large tube to fit whole foods, the food processor’s full package also comes with two additional smaller feeding tubes that allow you to keep thinner foods upright.
There’s a Medium Feeding Tube that’s great for dicing, as well as a Small Feeding Tube that keeps even the thinnest ingredients upright, which will ultimately allow you to get an even slicing during your “food prepping” process.
The package also includes some pushers to help you move food down any of the unit’s three (x3) feeding tubes (Large, Medium, and Small).
5 FOOD-PREP ATTACHMENTS
As mentioned before, the Hamilton Beach 14-Cup Professional Food Processor can be used for pretty much anything, and that includes dicing cubes, slicing thick to thin, shredding, kneading, chopping, mixing and creating the healthiest purees.
That’s because this food processor comes with a total of five different attachments included. These will allow you to dice, slice, shred, knead, chop, mix and even create healthy purees.
Adjustable Slicing Blade
Moving on to its first attachment, this food processor comes equipped with an adjustable slicing blade that offers “home cooks” a total of 14 thickness settings, and that ultimately provides them with great custom slicing results, starting all the way down from the thinnest potato slices and going all the way up to to the thickest slices of pepperoni.
Innovative Dicing Blade
This professional food processor also comes with an included innovative dicing blade attachment that can be used to easily create uniform veggie and fruit pieces so that you can more easily and quickly create healthy and tasty-looking salsas, mirepoix, soups, and salads.
Stainless-Steel S-Blade
Additionally, this food processor also comes equipped with a Stainless-Steel S-blade that can be used to easily chop up onions, mix salad dressings or eve to puree a smooth peanut butter (or any other dried fruits you wish to use).
Stainless-Steel Shredding Disc
The Hamilton Beach 14-Cup Professional Food Processor also comes with an included Stainless-Steel Shredding Disc that’s actually very handy, as it allows you to easily grate an entire block of cheese in seconds, as well as effortlessly shred cabbage to prepare some delicious homemade slaw.
High-Quality Dough Blade
Lastly, this food processor also comes with an included high-quality Dough Blade for all of your kneading needs, which can be used to make homemade bread, homemade pizza or even some very delicious cookie dough for your personal homemade cookies
CLEANING/MAINTENANCE
As all of the food processor’s included attachment blades, bowl and lid are all dishwasher safe, cleaning the unit is also very easy, as all you have to do is literally chunk the unit’s accessories into your dishwasher and run a quick washing cycle.
Furthermore, the food processor even comes with its very own dicing cleaning tool, which can be convenient to easily remove any food remains from the food processor’s dicing blade’s grids.
INTERFACE
Lastly, moving on to the food processor’s interface, the unit comes equipped with an electronic touchpad with quick-touch controls, featuring super easy-to-read function-buttons with LED indicator lights and text labels.
This ultimately makes using the food processor’s interface a very intuitive process, and ultimately eliminates any possible guesswork, as each button is clearly represented to what functionality it is associated with.
Furthermore, above the electronic touchpad’s quick-touch controls/buttons, there’s a function guide with very understandable icons/images, and this also helps to eliminate confusion over which attachment to use for any selected program.
You can have the food processor working at 2 different operating speeds, while its dedicated pulse setting gives you better control over your food mixes’ consistency.
Lastly, the electronic touchpad’s LED indicator lights let you know when the processor is ready.
