Hi Rachel,
I will pass on your demo reuest to TVSN. Yes i think a food processor show is needed!

The wide mouth is great, but due to heatlh aand safety requirements (and people who just might put their hand into the processor when going), it has to have that safey catch.
I find the processor is so quick it is just a matter of laying the food into the wide mouth and processing it through. If your pusher is ‘new’ it will be quite firm, so rub a little oil onto the sides it and it slides in and out with ease.
I do know what you are feeling a little frustrated and yes I understand, but you are using the processor correctly. It really is incredibly fast and processes quicker than other midels, it is simply having the food prepped first. I prep say all my carrot and then start ‘shredding’… it is done in a wink!

I look forward to a processor show very soon, I will be sure to mention to the producers.

Have you looked at the KitchenAid recipe website? There are great processor recipes on it http://www.kitchenaid.com.au
I hope I have helped you
Jo

Hi Jo, would love to see more demos on TVSN with the food processor, Can you please tell me please, I want to put large pieces of carrots for grating but it wont turn on because the pusher isn’t half way, so I have to cut everything small which is sad considering the mouth is so big I know you can put them through the small one but if you have beetroot, cabbage would be great if I could just put it on and feed it through the wide mouth. Any suggestions for me please. Thanks,

Hi Jennifer,
Yes absolutely you can grate or shred raw beetroot with the food processor.
You can use the work bowl or chefs bowl, adding the the wedges/ diced pieces of beetroot into the large chute or smaller chute ( this small chute is good for when the motor is running constantly).
beetroot is firm so you do need to firmly push down on the pusher, but he proscessor is strong and robust and will grate is quickly.
Enjoy your salad
