Food Processor Accessories

Ever find yourself wanting more versatility from your food processor? If the standard blades and discs aren't enough, consider supplementing your appliance with specialized accessories that can help you cook more efficiently and creatively.

The Dough Blade Food Processor
This blade, often used to make dough for pizza or bread, is made of plastic or metal and has straighter paddles than your food processor's standard sabatier blade. The dough blade makes time-consuming kneading both faster and easier.

The Egg Whip Food Processor
The egg whip is used for beating eggs and making whipping cream. Commonly made of plastic, the blade has two straight arms with wide, comblike paddles at the ends that are designed to incorporate air into your mix, making for a light, fluffy end product.

The Julienne Disc Food Processor
This disc, used to slice food into long, slender strips, has a row of short, protruding teeth. The julienne disc is the perfect accessory for chopping fruits or vegetables into healthy snacks.

The French-Fry Disc Food Processor
Like the julienne disc, the French-fry disc is used to slice food into strips, only the latter makes strips that are both wider and fatter. The French-fry disc is similar in appearance to the julienne disc and is the perfect accessory for making - you guessed it - French fries and sweet-potato fries.

The Citrus Juicer Food Processor
The citrus juicer is a plastic dome-shaped accessory that secures to the top of the food processor's shaft. The juicer turns to squeeze the juice out of fruits such as oranges, lemons, and limes.

The Non-Citrus Juicer Food Processor
This accessory is used for pureeing fruits and vegetables. When a fruit or vegetable is inserted into the feed tube of the food processor, the non-citrus juicer extracts the pulp and then strains the juice into the bowl.
