KitchenAid KFP350WH Little Ultra Power 5-Cup Food Processor White

KitchenAid KFP350WH For a compact unit the KitchenAid Little Ultra Power Food Processor packs a surprising punch. Its powerful motor goes to work on tough jobs like bread dough or ground beef. The Little Ultra Power also includes two work bowls for added convenience. Use the five-cup work bowl for grinding up to one-half pound of meat, chopping up to one and one-half cups of raw vegetables, or blending up to two cups of herb butter or mayonnaise. Use the mini chopper bowl for smaller jobs, like chopping a handful of herbs or mincing garlic cloves. Clean Touch control pads simplify operation for hassle-free operation, with no crevices to trap dirt and food particles.

Cooking is made up of many small jobs: mincing garlic, grating cheese, chopping herbs, or grinding walnuts--this small KitchenAid food processor handles all of them. With superior quality French Sabatier blades and two bowl sizes, the machine can take up to five cups at one sitting. Its digital touch pad smoothly controls the .25 horsepower engine, while cleaning is also a breeze--all parts (excluding the base) are dishwasher-safe, and the seamless surface leaves no space for errant food particles to hide.

Standing at a mere 8 inches tall and 5-by-7-inches in width, this compact processor easily fits on counters and shelves that couldn't house a heftier model. Its small size, though, does translate to a little drop in performance, because this machine isn't the same workhorse as a larger counterpart. Larger undertakings, such as grating enough cheese for a macaroni and cheese dish, will require several gratings, which can stretch out cooking prep time. It's best to reserve this processor for pestos, sauces, salads, and other small-scale tasks. --Leah Kohlenberg
