The
Jamie Oliver Food Processor is fantastic. It functions more efficiently than its predecessor an
Antony Worrall Thompson by Breville FP21 Intelligent Food Processor. It also takes up much less space in my kitchen.
It is well built, and beautifully designed for functionality. The fact that it has easy storage for all of the accessories that it comes with is a positive bonus. The appropriate accessories can be added and removed very swiftly, with a minimum of effort.
There is only a very slight difference between the thickness of cut (tried with courgettes and onions) with the slicing tool, and maybe a thicker cut option would have been an nice touch. Similarly, both grades of grater seem to produce very similar results when used on emmental cheese. That being said, the results of both slicing and grating are very even and extremely quick.
Although the packaging claims the liquidiser has a capacity of 1.25 litres - the instructions tell you that you should only liquidize at most 1 litre of anything. Similarly the main bowl is also restricted to a total of 1 litre of product, even though it has a total capacity of 2 litres.
The liquidizer, its stopper, the mixing bowl and the feeder tube are all graduated in a variety of measures. Again this works very well and the asymmetric design seems to produce an excellent result, without stuff at the edges being missed by the blades, unlike the one that comes with the
Antony Worrall Thompson by Breville FP21 Intelligent Food Processor.
The emulsifier disk can whisk small or large volumes efficiently - if you want to make meringue from only 2 egg whites, it will do it in a couple of seconds.
The
Jamie Oliver Food Processor is dishwasher safe, and unlike the
Antony Worrall Thompson by Breville FP21 Intelligent Food Processor, handles stoppers lids and other components have all been designed so that they do not trap water from the dish-washing process. All the components seem to be sturdy.
The manual comes in a wide variety of languages, including Danish and Arabic, but is very basic. It also mentions an optional mini-chopper, but at the time of writing, this doesn't seem to be available.
As with all the food processors that I've owned, I would have liked it even more if the machine came with a second main bowl - to save washing up between processing different ingredients - but then I'm picky and I think that's the most negative comment that I can make about this wonderful machine.
