[Electronics-Talk] update on hunt for food processor

[Tracy Carcione]

I have a Hamilton Beach food pro, though probably not as powerful as the one you chose.  It comes apart easily.  There is one shaft that can hold different blades.  I am just careful when handling the 2 sharp blades, and wipe away from myself when cleaning them, as opposed to wiping along the edge or toward myself.  With mine, ordinary caution around sharp blades is sufficient.
HTH.

Well, after continuing to search Amazon, I ended up with a $40.00 (including tax)   Hamilton Beach 70610A ChefPrep 500-watt Food Processor, with mostly great reviews; sounds like it’ll do everything I could ask, from liquefying for smoothies, to shredding and slicing, etc. Although I’m an advanced cook, here’s something that mystifies even me—maybe others have more ideas: when you’re dealing with something that has very sharp blades (such as this, or a mandolin), 1, what’s the best cautionary advice when you’re just opening the pkg and going to disassemble things so you can wash them, in terms of safety; 2, when you want to clean the blades after use, best, again, safety advice? I’ve been known to take the shaft out of the appliance, drip some dish detergent on it and run it under hot water to rinse, but there may be other thoughts. Some blenders and other appliances have very dull blades, which obviates the issue, but I’ve noticed that, in recent years, they have really, really kicked up the sharpness of blades more than just a notch! At any rate, just wanted you guys to know how I made out, in case you’re interested in shopping around yourselves; will enjoy the continuing exchange. Thanks again!
