All-Purpose Food Processor

All-Purpose Food Processor FARM HOME Food 2-5-26 "It's five full-powered appliances in one," says Oster of its new countertop food processor called the Kitchen Center. It's designed for a variety of uses, including blender, mixer, doughmaker, food grinder, dicer, shredder, salad maker, french fry cutter and more, according to the manufacturer. For blending, the Kitchen Center Osterizer is available in .10 or 12 speeds with "control cycle" blending at all speeds for processing food to the desired texture. Its large 5-speed glass container opens at both ends for easy emptying and cleaning. For mixing, the Kitchen Center is a full-powered stand mixer with a 4-quart capacity glass bowl. It can handle high speed jobs, such as whipping egg whites for meringue, as well as speeds low enough to fold dry ingredients. For kneading, the versatile processor has dough hooks that snap into the mixer arm. It's then ready to prepare and knead up to seven cups of flour for two 11/2 lb. loaves of bread. For grinding, the unit's food grinder is packed with two cutting discs for fine or coarse grinding. Food cramming is a continuous process - a feature which is reportedly "ideal for sausage making because meat can be ground and stuffed right into casings in one operaton". For slicing, shredding, or cutting french fries, the Kitchen Center can process one cup or 100. These operations are also continuous with each slice exactly alike. Optional accessories include an ice crusher, citrus juicer, can opener, mini-blend containers (1/2 pt. to 11/2 pt.) and a sausage stuffer kit. Suggested retail price is right at $170.
