Does your food processor come with various attachments and accessories? Make use of them to get the most out of your food processor. Here’s a list of food processor attachments and accessories you might be interested in using and you can always buy them separately as long as they fit with your food processor model.
S-blade
Every food processor has this blade to shred, cut, slice and grind food. It has two blades on opposite sides of the center shaft and they curve towards different directions to make an S shape. Metal blades are better than plastic ones because they stay sharp and last longer.
Dough hook or dough blade
Looks like the S-blade but with straighter metal or plastic blades. Mixes dough for bread.
Egg whip
The one with large paddles at the end of two straight arms. This is used for beating eggs, but I don’t use it because the normal whisked egg for cooking can easily be done by hand with an egg whisk without going into all the trouble of washing the food processor, while the beaten eggs for baking cakes should be done with a mixer which will give better results. Maybe one can use this attachment for whipping egg whites for small size desserts like mousses.
Julienne disc
The metal disc with a row of narrow teeth that can cut food into long and thin strips.
French fry disc
The metal disc that looks like the Julienne disc but with larger teeth that cuts food into fatter strips.
Citrus juicer
A dome-like attachment to fit on the shaft and juices citrus fruit like oranges, lemons and grapefruit while it turns on the shaft.
Non-citrus juicer
Lets you juice fruits or vegetables by feeding through the feed tube. The juice is strained to the bottom of the bowl while the pulp is kept in the middle.
Extra bowls
To alternate between tasks if you don’t want to wash the bowl each time.
Spatula
For scraping the sides of the bowl.
