Advantages: fast and fun

Disadvantages: hard to clean

I bought my new Magimix Compact Food Processor at Index and it has to be the best thing I've bought for my kitchen in years. It cost £179 which sounds a lot for a food processor but it really is good value.

My first project was to make a perfect salad. You know, one of those where everything looks as though it has been chopped or shredded by an expert chef. The cheese grater attachment went through a 500 gram block of hard cheese in less than a minute. Infact it was so fast that I was almost caught unaware when I got to end of the block. This machine is very powerful.

Next I decided to slice some carrots, onions, cucumber and tomatoes. There are several different blades so you can choose how thick you want the slices. I opted for very thin (after all, this salad is supposed to look profesional).

I set my salad out on a bed of lettuce in my best bowl and I must say that I was impressed, even if no one else was. I felt just like TV chef!

There is also a mincer attachment which comes as standard with this machine. The speed of this is very fast but the blades are razor sharp. You need to be careful with them and wash them carefully. Remember that you can mince other things as well as meat. I have used mine for breadcrumbs and to mince currents and raisins while making chutney.

The only thing I don't like about my Magimix is that it is so fiddly to clean. There is a clip inside the bowl that is used to keep the whole thing together while its operational and this is what causes the problem.

If you haven't got one of these you should think about buying one. Mine is in constant use and I wonder how I ever managed without it.
