The small pusher has a hole at the bottom, so when you’re making something like mayonnaise or pesto, you can fill it with your oil or other liquids and it will slowly add it to your other ingredients in the bowl. The small feed tube and pusher is used to process small items like garlic or a single carrot. There’s a small and a large feed tube and a small and a large feed pusher. The food pusher pushes the food through the feed tube. It works in conjunction with the 2-Piece Food Pusher. Size of Feed TubeĪs mentioned above, the 2-in-1 Feed Tube is part of the bowl cover. Be sure both the cover and the bowl is fitted correctly (read further on in this review to see why) as the machine will not operate if these two parts are not in the correct position. The work bowl cover has an integrated 2-in-1 Feed Tube. Handle this bowl with care because it costs $39.99 for a replacement. I confirmed with the company that the bowl is shatter resistant. It does not come with a mini bowl nor is it an option for this model. Though we like how powerful this KitchenAid is, it tends to mince (instead of chop) juicy ingredients such as tomatoes and cucumbers, which all turn into mush in seconds.The 7-Cup Work Bowl is BPA-free and top rack dishwasher safe. However, there’s a small opening on the lid for you to add oil or other liquids while pureeing. You’ll have to load everything in the chopping chamber, close the lid, and let it run, which is different from traditional food processors. If your primary goal is more than just chopping and whipping cream, then you may want to opt for a larger model.Īnother disadvantage is that there’s no chute on the lid that allows you to add ingredients while in use. Unlike a standard food processor with various accessories to help slice, shred, and knead dough, this KitchenAid has fewer features. This chopper should be sufficient for most kitchen tasks, though you might need to work in batches. We also like the 5-cup capacity-for a mini food chopper, there’s enough room to chop one medium-sized onion or one tomato at a time. There are safety measures in place to prevent accidents: the charging port can lock the switch while in use, which effectively prevents young children from turning on the food chopper by accident. Like other KitchenAid products we’ve tested, this KitchenAid is high-quality and built to last a long time. There’s no assembly required to get the appliance to run. If you like making dips, mayonnaise, and nut butters from scratch, this gadget can work exceptionally well-I was able to churn out smooth and delicious almond butter in less than a minute, which is rare for food processors. When it comes to harder ingredients like toasted almonds and hard cheese, it didn’t have any issues grinding them super-finely. Within seconds, it turned an onion into evenly chopped bits, ready for sauteing or adding to salads. We were impressed with how powerful this mini KitchenAid food chopper is at processing ingredients. If you’re in a rush, the manual says it can chop up to 11 medium-sized onions with a 10-minute quick charge (and up to 40 onions on a full charge). It took me less than two hours to charge the battery from empty to full during testing. The highlight of this rechargeable, cordless gadget is that it doesn’t need an electrical outlet to function and comes with a charger. That being said, this food chopper can chop, grind, puree, and whip ingredients-which is a lot for a mini food processor!-but it can’t knead dough or shred cheese. The chopper only has the multipurpose blade and whipping attachments, compared to a food processor that typically comes with shredding and slicing discs as well. However, the two differ on a few key features. This mini food chopper works similarly to a full-size food processor. Its small size makes it storage-friendly for most kitchens.
