Well, here are some of the things you can do.<br /><br />Fix in the slicing/grating blade - one way up for slicing, the other for grating - simple! There are two of these blades, a thick one and a thin one. Then just feed in whatever you want processed. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_chZwWloafuY/SIYzD24nsEI/AAAAAAAAAbk/bQk5I2T48no/s1600-h/CIMG1170.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_chZwWloafuY/SIYzD24nsEI/AAAAAAAAAbk/bQk5I2T48no/s400/CIMG1170.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225920558975660098" border="0" /></a>And here we have a carrot and a pepper, grated and sliced respectively in under 30 seconds each. I liked the way that the slices are nice and uniform, but that may be my OCD coming into play.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_chZwWloafuY/SIYzEYX_9OI/AAAAAAAAAbs/YNeuKjcpIOs/s1600-h/CIMG1173.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_chZwWloafuY/SIYzEYX_9OI/AAAAAAAAAbs/YNeuKjcpIOs/s400/CIMG1173.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225920567965644002" border="0" /></a><br />I probably do have new food processor syndrome still. Even though it is very quick to do the processing, I think unless you are making a LOT - like for a big family meal or something like that, then the time taken to wash up the bowl and the blade afterwards kind of wipes out any time saving on the preparation. <br /><br />Later, I did some sliced potatoes for pommes boulangere, and it was here that I found the <a href="http://astore.amazon.co.uk/ryansrecipes-21/detail/B000BWH8P2/202-3964145-6023806">Magimix 4200</a> to be pretty useful. I was able to slice the potatoes really thinly, and evenly all the way to the end. I seem to have forgotten to take any pictures of that though.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Have a look at my new amazon shop: <a href="http://astore.amazon.co.uk/ryansrecipes-21">Recipe Blog Shop</a></div>Ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07931487032833360479noreply@blogger.com
