— The main bowl. An open capacity designed for kneading dough, whipping cream and mixing masses. The main bowl is included in almost all food processors. It can be made of various materials: plastic, glass, metal, etc.

— Blender. In this case, it is a bowl narrowed downwards, at the bottom of which there is a bladed knife. Such a device is suitable both for mixing liquids into a homogeneous mass (for example, for making cocktails or batter), and for grinding some solid foods (for example, fruits and vegetables) into a homogeneous puree.

— Citrus juicer. It is a rotating ledge with a ribbed surface. To get juice, you need to manually put half of the fruit on it with the flesh down and press hard. Due to this procedure, the juice from the flesh is squeezed into the bowl located below, and the peel remains intact.

Additionally, silicone does not absorb odors and is easy to clean from any contaminants (including under running tap water).

— The disk for minced meat. Traditional grate grinder. The minced meat disk can have a different mesh size, from 3 to 8 mm, which has a direct impact on the consistency of the cooked minced meat. Usually, three discs are included in the standard meat grinder set: for a fine fraction (cells are about 3 mm), for a medium fraction (about 5 mm) and for a large fraction (about 8 mm). Less commonly on the market there are also discs with smaller cells (1 mm or less), such are used for making pate.

The volume of the food bowl provided in the food processor. Most often the full volume is indicated, not the working volume. It should be noted that you can not use the bowl completely when cooking, the working volume is approximately 70% of the total. Thus, about 4 liters can be used in a 6 liter bowl. And if you go into the recipes and power modes of the food processor (see the instructions), then smaller numbers are acceptable for preparing a particular dish (kneading dough, mixing salad, etc.).

Note that a large capacity affects the dimensions and weight of the unit, and also requires a more powerful engine — which affects energy consumption and price. So when choosing a bowl by capacity, you should not chase the maximum capacity, but take into account the planned volumes of work.

The capacity of the blender bowl determines how much consistency the device can prepare in one approach. The average blender has a capacity of 1.5 liters, which is quite optimal for making drinks and other textures for three people.

The volume of the blender jar (see Blender) that the food processor is equipped with. Standardly, it is about one and a half liters; for a large family, it makes sense to select a larger capacity (about 2 liters), and 1 liter will be enough if a blender is rarely needed and for small quantities of the product.

The presence in the body of the device of a separate section for replaceable attachments, or a appliance for storing them directly in the working bowl of the device. Such food processors are more convenient in storage, because they are less bulky, take up less space, and the risk of losing any attachment is reduced.

A special section in the body of the device for storing the power cord. Often such sections are also come with devices for uniform winding of the wire, which prevents bending and possible fractures. The cord section is especially useful if the food processor is used relatively rarely and stands idle for a long time outside the kitchen.
