The food processor: a status report

Having picked up a KitchenAid food processor earlier this year, I've found that it has quite seen as much use as I'd originally hoped.

A recent New York Times article - The Food Processor: A Virtuoso One-Man Band - gave me pause to think. What did the author have to say about when he'd reached for his food processor:

>I don’t do this for a single onion, but if there are more than, say, three, I turn to the machine.

In other words, bachelordom seems to mean low utilization for a device such as this. Still, having a bunch of people over for lunch Sunday meant that the unit wound up getting used for a lot of the prep. (That said I'm still never quite sure how much food is required to feed larger groups... still need more experimenting).

One other bit of the article that I liked was the author's comments on why he continued to appreciate no-knead bread doughs:

I remain a no-knead fan. (If there’s a lazier way to do something, and results are comparable, that is where you’ll find me.)
