| Countertop Blender | Blenders puree, liquefy, and blend foods. The blender consists of a base that houses the motor and a removable, lidded jar with a propeller-like blade in the bottom. Speed settings for the motor are in the base. Jars for the blender are made of stainless steel, plastic, or glass. |
| Immersion Blender | An immersion blender is also known as a hand blender, stick blender, or burr mixer. It is a long, stick-like machine that houses a motor on one end off the machine with a blade on the other end. This operates in the same manner as countertop blenders to puree and blend foods except that a cook holds it manually in a container of food, whereas a countertop blender contains the food itself |
| Food Chopper | A food chopper chops vegetables, meats, and other foods using a vertical rotating blade and a bowl that rotates the food under the blade. This unit is often called buffalo chopper. Never push food under the cover of the bowl, because your fingers could be caught by the moving blades. To clean the food chopper, first unplug the unit. Remove the blades carefully, and handle with the same care given as a knife |
| Food Processors | This is a processing machine that houses the motor separately from the bowl, blades, and lid. Food processors grind, puree, blend, crush, and knead foods |
| Horizontal Cutter Mixer (HCM) | The HCM cuts, mixes, and blends foods quickly with a high-speed, horizontal, rotating, blade that is housed in a large bowl with a tight cover. To vary from coarse to fine or actual puree, control the length of time the blade runs through the product. Always count to ten before opening the lid after stopping the blade. The force created in the bowl moves the food rapidly. Allowtime for food to stop moving, or it may fly out when the lid is opened. Unplug the unit before cleaning it. Handle the blades with the same care as a knife. The mixer will not operate if the hinged lid is not locked |
| Mandoline | This is a manually operated slicer made made of stainless steel with adjustable slicing blades to slice and julienne. Its narrow, rectangular body sits on the work counter at a 45-degree-angle. It is useful for slicing small quantities of fruits or vegetables, situations where large electric slicer isn't necessary. There are also extremely popular plastic models, which may have fixed or adjustable blades. Typically, these do not stand on counters but are held over a bowl or work surface. Always use a hand guard or steel gloves to avoid injury. |
| Meat Grinder | This is a free-standing machine or an attachment for a standing mixer. Drop foods in through a feed tube, where they are pulled along by a metal worm, and then cut by blades as the food is forced out through the grinder plate. To avoid cross-contamination, clean all areas of a meat grinder thoroughly after use. |
| Meat Slicer | Most meat slicers have a slanted, circular blade. Food either passes through the machine automatically or a cook pushes a hopper that holds the product along a carriage into the blade. The thickness of the slicer is set by increasing and decreasing the distance between the guide plate and the blade. The guard on the hopper must always be used to move the hopper. This protects the hands. During cleaning, the machine must be unplugged and the blade set at 0 (no distance between guide plate and blade). Remember that the blade is a knife and can cut even when it's not turning. Because slicer blades are very sharp, it is important to pay close attention when using them. |
| Mixer | Mixers come in 5-quart, 20-quart, 60-quart, and 80-quart sizes. Cooks use them to mix and process large amount of foods with any number of specialized attachments, including paddle, wire whips, dough hooks, meat grinders, shredders, slicers, and juicers. |
| Flat Beater Paddle | Use to mix, mash, and cream soft foods |
| Wire Whip | Use to beat and add air to light foods, such as egg whites and cake frosting |
| Wing Whip | A heavier version of the wire whip, use it to whip, cream, and mash heavier foods |
| Pastry Knife (Paddle) | Use to mix shortening into dough |
| Dough Arm (Hook) | Use to mix heavy, thick dough |
