SAY Imagine having to blend by hand. You would need to mash the food and then put it through a sieve. For making a lot a soup or making a fruit drink it would take a lot of time and perhaps you wouldn’t bother anyway. There would probably be some waste where food was too hard and there would be lots of washing up. Using an electric blender, pureeing food only takes a few seconds. However, there is a safety issue as you need to take when cleaning the inside around the sharp blades. Glass blenders are better, as plastic ones get scratched easily. They are very useful for pureeing food for a baby being weaned. ^PAUSE=1300^

SAY What should you look for when you buy a food processor? You can buy one for about twenty five pounds or you might buy one for one hundred and fifty pounds. It just depends on how often you think it might be used and whether you wish to pay for one which has all the expensive attachments. They need to be easy to clean , be big enough for your needs that is look at its capacity and look as if they will still look good after it has been used a lot, that is how durable it is. Food processors are very popular. They do carry out a wide range of jobs although it would be interesting to carry out an experiment to find out how long it would take to prepare food by hand against the time taken using a food processor from getting it out from the cupboard to putting it away clean and tidy.^PAUSE=1300^

They may have to be turned or stirred to ensure even cooking.

SAY As microwave ovens have different outputs, the time they take to heat food will vary. The higher the wattage, the faster the food will cook. Food manufacturers have to take this into account and a system was developed to make sure people using different powered ovens were able to get the same result when cooking food. Labels, therefore, give instructions for cooking and standing times for different wattage ovens. ^PAUSE=1300^
