How to Use Your KitchenAid 13 Cup Food Processor (with Dicing Kit)

[@andymae13]

I bought this to replace my 40 yr old machine, bc plastic parts had broken or split on the various attachments. Unfortunately, this has so many parts that I couldn't figure out how to put it together, or how to pack it back up. Finding your presentation was a real gift! Thank you for being so clear and not assuming any level of common sense on my part!

Yes, count me in as someone who appreciates your thorough explanation. The dicer was the only thing I needed help with, and you made it so easy. You have a knack for teaching. Thank you!

I am most definitely *not* a video person - I'd rather read instructions. I can't believe I watched this entire video - it was THAT helpful! This is not my first food processor, but it sure has more parts to assemble. You are super engaging, and you answered every question I had. THANK YOU!

This was one of the best instructional videos I have ever seen online. Thanks for taking the time to explain the processor so clearly. I have just ordered mine, and can't wait to use it!

You're very welcome!

Used mine yesterday to process garlic and mixed herbs. I have had several different kinds of food processors and I never would have believed that such a large processor could handle 1 garlic clove and 1C of herbs. In three pulses, it turned them into tiny fragments of dust. Incredible! I am thrilled and can't wait for Thanksgiving.

[@epicuricloud]

Love that!!! For small items like that you can also have the motor running, then drop smaller items in through the top. Helps to mince small items when the hit the spinning blade - they bounce around and get minced up. But sounds like your pulsing worked great!! Love it! Enjoy!

[@SummaGirl1347]

@@epicuricloud Hi, Tina! I thought of doing that but, I thought "let's put this big beast to the ultimate test" and it passed with flying colors. It really was amazing! I would have had to chop those herbs for 20 minutes to have gotten that kind of result. Bring on Turkey Day!

This is by far the best and the most comprehensive video/tutorial on this food processor! Thank you so much, and keep up the good work!

[@life_is_good2371]

This is the best „how to use tutorial“ for this food processor. Today mine arrived and I was quite overwhelmed with all the parts. I read the manual but visual instructions work so much better for me. Thank you very much!

[@BobRooney290]

exactly what i'm looking for! you have no idea how much time is saved dicing. especially in the summer when you dont feel like sweating like crazy in the kitchen. this looks like i can drop and dice 2 small zucchinis, 2 carrots, 2 celery stalks, and probably even shallots with in seconds that would likely take me close to an hour to do.

I bought this a year ago and had no idea how to use it. Thank you for a wonderfully informative video . Now im going to have to try some of your recipes!!!

[@epicuricloud]

Glad it was helpful!

[@butchiegumdrops]

I learned how to use my blade and the dough blade. I wasn’t putting in the two part adapter. I absolutely enjoyed your demo of making pizza dough with the dough blade. I would have poured everything in at once. I see how helpful it is to let the dough work with the liquid available to it. Thank you so much.

[@annieb3333]

What a great video! I'm no longer "afraid" of my Kitchen Aid FP! I'm 64 years old and have been manually chopping and slicing by hand forever. When I unpacked my FP and took a look through the parts, I wondered if I had made a mistake. Your video just answered many questions for me. Now I'm so looking forward to becoming friends with my FP. I'm already thinking of dishes that I can make using the FP. One of them is my Summer Salad that usually turns out to be a two-hour prep (a LOT of ingredients). I'm so excited and will check out the recipes on your website.

[@tinaavantis6900]

Did you get to be friends with the machine? I would love what is in your summer salad. 💚

[@conniemsmaltesecross6230]

I’ve had this food processor for a year and only used it once to purée some canned tomatoes. I was so confused with all the different parts and placements for them. That was until a few days ago, when I watched your video. It made it so easy for me to understand how to use it. Thank you so very much. I made a wonderful soup using the slicer and the grater and whatever else I could use. I actually had fun prepping my ingredients.

[@epicuricloud]

YAY! Love it! Bet soup was delicious!

Tina, your care of detail in your how to do's viideos is excellent, and this one is of no exception! I just received my QVC order - a black 13 cup. I was over whelmed with the instruction book as it does not give detail that is needed. So thank you so much for your extra efforts to make users of this food processor better prepared and less afraid of how to use it!

[@epicuricloud]

You're very welcome - glad it is helpful for you!

[@Chris-fe1he]

Just bought my very first Food Processor tonight. Decided to buy a food processor after I watched Anna Olson make marzipan in hers, so after much research, the size and dicer were the deciding factor since I'm the main cook for 6 (4 adults and 2 grandkids). So glad I found your demo. I was quite intimidated, but thanks to you, can't wait to use it. ✔

Love it Chris! Let me know if you have any questions once you get going with it!

[@drjbo3]

Thank you for the video with the excellent demonstrations. I was struggling with how to get the pieces back into the bowl! lol I just received the 13-cup food processor with the dicing attachment as a Christmas gift. The only thing I am missing is the French Fry blade. I'm sad KA hasn't offered that as another accessory yet. I have had a previous KA food processor for years, and this is such an improvement. First. No hole in the bowl! No messy leaks or spills. Second, great idea to store in the bowl all the attachments, but I will probably keep it set up with the base blade since I use that most often. Third, the cover! What a concept! The cover for processing seals well, so no flour clouds from the bowl, and the storage cover is great if you want to leave your prep in the fridge or wait for the dough to rise. One less dirty bowl! Fourth. The cord wrap on the bottom is a superb idea. I made chicken salad yesterday, and couldn't believe how efficient it was. Thank you again for the video.

This was a great video to explain all the features of the food processor, as well as how to easily clean it. You are very thorough and easy to follow. I appreciate it!!

[@stefanzantes8818]

Thank you for this throughout explanation on how to use this food processor. I love the slicing and dicing function. And the storage in the bowl function is so clever, because the truth for all attachment boxes is, if you need to store them away in a cupboard, you will not use them a lot. However, I would love to buy the french fries disc separately and I'm missing a tool for whisking. The 9 cup FP has a whisking disc, would be great if Kitchenaid would provide it for this FP as well 😊

Nice video, I have a question do you think it would do a good job slicing sticks of Pepperoni? I have 2 food processors, 1 did a great job, 1 does a terrible job. The good one's broke and I'm looking for a replacement mainly to slice pepperoni/hard salami.

[@epicuricloud]

Hi J.R. Thanks for reaching out. I will have to try it again. I can't recall exactly which model I tried pepperoni with. I know in the past I've had different results depending upon the brand/casing of the pepperoni. Some seem to be more dense. I'll reply here once I give it a try.

[@bpavilion8994]

Does your food processor still work, or did it stop working?

[@epicuricloud]

Still working!

[@videoguyla]

Woud you please answer a question for me? I want to use the shredding blade and the cutting blade in the lower part of the processor at the same time. I used to own a Hamilton Beach processor that would allow me to grate cheese very efficiently. The normal cutting blade in the bowl was doing the fine grating of romano cheese shredded by the upper blade. Is this possible with the 13 or 10 cup version of this food processor?

[@epicuricloud]

Hi Anthony - I'm not 100% sure this would be a KitchenAid approved usage. But I have accidentally turned on with the shred blade and the metal multi purpose blade.

@@personalJoke I wish I had more time to make videos! You can make a lot with a food processor. even some "short" doughs like scones, pie crust, biscuits. and some yeast doughs (I tend do stick with single batches) But for mixtures where you need to "cream" butter and sugar - hard to beat a stand mixer. Also stand mixer for larger/tougher yeast doughs.

Does this also have a smaller container for smaller amounts of food? Or can I buy a separate smaller container?

[@epicuricloud]

Hi Peter - It does not have a smaller container. I will say as compared to my much older style model with the large bowl that had sloping sides - this straight sided container can handle smaller batches. Anything super small, I use my chopper for.

Does the dicing kit fit all food processors across the line?

@latashawiller8559, No it doesn't.

I have the last model they put out and I had nothing but problems. I constantly had to remove the lid because large pieces of food would get stuck between the ring and the lid or food wouldn’t go into the bowl and would be circulating between the lid and the blades. How is this model for those issues?

Hi Renee - Do you have a 7 or 9 cup with the in-bowl storage? (kind of looks like this one but smaller?) If so, those round shredding/slicing discs have 2 positions. A lower and higher position so you can stack them for storage. Make sure when you want to use the disc it's in the higher position - it should be about flush with the rim of the bowl.

Renee - I made this video which goes over the 9-cup Food Processor - talks about the blade positions about 3:10 in the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJbLlnh6qtl-Zrc

Thank you so much for this video. I couldn't figure out how to use the multi purpose blade and I lost the directions. Now I know and can't wait to get going and making stuff.

Glad I could help!

Your video is very well done. Thank you. I wonder what is the cost of this processor?

[@epicuricloud]

Hello - depends where you purchase - at the time I posted this video - QVC was offering a special price as the Today's Special Value.

Thank you so much, really helpful! Do you know if and where I can get the French fries disc outside of the US (Europe)? I asked kitchenaid directly and they sad there is actually no french fries disc available for this fp. Is it the same disc as for the bigger and older food processor that also has the dicing kit?

[@epicuricloud]

Not that I know of - I think the older 13 cup is a different shaped bowl. Sorry!
