The Hamilton Beach food processor Big Mouth model and Kitchen Aid 11 cup food processor are both good examples of the quality kitchen equipment available to home cooks on the market for a food processor. These models are great for home cooks with large quantity cooking or baking needs.
With a 450 watt motor and four speed settings, the Big Mouth is powerful enough for most food processing tasks. It's 14 cup bowl capacity can handle larger chopping, slicing and mixing jobs. Use it to chop nuts or frozen food; crush ice; grind meat or shred vegetables. This model earns its name with the extra-large feeding chute, capable of accommodating whole fruits and vegetables. The stainless steel blade, reversible slicer/shredder disc, plastic bowl and lid are all dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. Measuring 14 x 10 x 18 inches with in-bowl blade storage, the Big Mouth processor stores away easily in the kitchen.
Kitchen Aid offers another reliable processor with the KFP650 11-cup processor. This top of the line processor is powered by a 670-watt motor with one speed setting and pulse control. It comes with a 4-cup bowl that actually fits inside the larger bowl, to chop or grind small quantities of ingredients. With a cream whip, dough hook, standard blade and shredding disc, the Kitchen Aid KFP650 processor is fully equipped. It acts as a blender, chopper, mixer and more. As with their other models, Kitchen Aid provides a handy recipe book and instructional video for those new to food processing.
