Product Information

It’d be good to see a slower speed to help it handle vegetables that require a bit of practice to get right, such as sweet potato, and a wider feed tube to reduce prep time. Beyond that, it’s a smart idea that’s been executed well.

Make sure the food processor has the tools for the tasks you need to do. It’s worth buying a food processor with a jug blender attachment if you want the versatility of blending smoothies or soup as well as processing food. If you're buying a food processor, but like to bake, you may want to look out for a model that comes with a beater attachment for whipping and whisking and/or a dough blade. Spiralizers are a nifty kitchen gadget for creating gorgeous long spirals of fruit and veg – spiralized courgette in particular makes for a delicious, healthy alternative to spaghetti. We’ve tested five spiralizers to suit any budget, so read on to find out which is right for you If you are looking to create nutritious yet tasty meals at home, then look no further than Espares.Full-sized processors usually come with a diverse array of attachments and can handle an impressive range of tasks. The Express is essentially a one-function food processor, with a taller chute. Yet I’m horrified by how easy it is to use. A switch trips the revolving, hidden blade. Gravity helps guide the veg to an aesthetic death, streamers of beet purling tub-ward, like blood in water. I depress a courgette, dribble oil, and create a healthy dish in seconds. Manual models often leave sizeable, unspiralized vegetable stumps. Not so here – after the action, one is left holding an acceptably small knob – which is a good thing. Typically mini choppers are smaller and less expensive versions of food processors. While they take up less space, they are usually limited in what they can do, such as handling small amounts of chopping and puréeing. Depending on the severity and nature of the fault, you might be able to repair your food processor yourself.

As well as interchangeable blades, this manual spiralizer also has non-slip feet and an easy-turn handle to make shredding veggies a breeze. The only niggle we have with it is that it’s not as easy to use with smaller veggies, so if you find yourself buying these a lot, you may want to consider a smaller handheld version instead. All in all, though, this is a fantastic spiralizer for the price and perfect for your first foray into the world of veggie spaghetti, chips and more.Choosing between a compact mini chopper and a full-sized food processor? As well as thinking about how much kitchen space you have, consider how much you want to spend and what you’ll be using it for. Food processors However, food processors can be large, bulky beasts and are often expensive. Bigger models, or models with multiple parts, can also be more of an effort to clean. Most spiralizers come with changeable blades for everything from thin curls to chunky ribbons, so you can create more than just spaghetti-like vegetables. If you want to experiment with different vegetables and shapes or make salads with intricate garnishes, those extra blades will come in handy. Ease of cleaning Spiraliser Express is great for health-conscious chefs, as you can fill your meals with nutrient rich vegetables. You can enjoy spiralised vegetables and fruit either raw or cooked within a dish of your choice. Create a simple Courgetti bolognese by swapping pasta for courgette spaghetti, using the dedicated spaghetti blade. Spirals In Seconds The best food processors take the hassle out of food prep, but not all models are fit for purpose – we've found some that struggle with the most basic tasks, such as grating cheese and dicing an onion.

Food processors range massively in size and weight. Make sure you have enough kitchen counter space for the appliance you choose – think about the height of any cabinets above where you’ll put the food processor that may obstruct the feeding tubes or lids. If it's going to live in your cupboard, can you lift it in and out easily? Some are pretty hefty, weighing as much as 11kg. How much should I spend on a food processor? I have delt with eSpares before so noting the oven's model number and looking up a bulb was easy, even on a twenty year old cooker. The Sprializer Express by Morphy Richards allows you tospiralize a variety of fruit and vegetables including courgette, sweet potato, cucumber and carrot with a minimal amount of time and effort, producing great results every time. We judge food processors on how well they chop, slice, grate, mix, knead and blend. Plus how noisy they are and how easy they are to use and clean. The following models are the best we've tested.

Don't know your cubing disc from your Blendermix attachment? Read Food processor attachments explained. Large feeding tube Easy to clean, simply rinse under running water. For easy storage the cutter blades can be fitted inside each other and placed in the Spiraliser beaker. Features: A large-capacity bowl means you'll be able to make bigger batches. However, the bigger the bowl size, the more space it’s likely to take up in your kitchen. It’s also worth bearing in mind that bigger bowls can be more of a faff to clean by hand or may be awkward to fit in the dishwasher. Food processors are designed to take the hassle out of food prep tasks and save you precious time in the kitchen. But they can vary massively in price, size and what they can do – and we’ve found some can be more of a hindrance than a help.

Some food processors come with a lid that has a wider feed tube so you can process larger items, such as potatoes or cucumbers, without having to chop them up first. Dishwasher-safe attachments and accessories With a good spiralizer, you can easily turn a courgette into courgetti, sweet potato into curly fries and peppers into a tasty salad garnish.

Where it also differs from the others is a solid build quality. It’s BPA-free, has reinforced ABS parts and a large suction pad with an on/off lever that attaches brilliantly to smooth, flat worktops.
