Philips will release a new cooking appliance "Multi Chopper" in early February. It is a so-called food processor that cuts ingredients quickly.

There must be something "something" about the company, which has released innovative cooking appliances such as "non-fryer" that makes fried foods with hot air and "noodle maker" that can make homemade noodles in 10 minutes. I have seen new products ahead of time.


■ Design like a humidifier

The multi-chopper with the main body including the motor designed at the top is vertically long and smart. The compact feeling that is easy to put in a Japanese kitchen and the stylish design like interior home appliances are fresh.


There are only two types of functions, "food processor mode" and "chop drop mode", which are suitable for "chopping, mixing, and mincing". And this unfamiliar "chop drop mode" is the biggest feature.

■ No water comes out from vegetables !? "Chop drop mode"

The chop drop mode is a function that solves the dissatisfactions that are common in general food processors, such as "the size becomes different" and "the water comes out and becomes sticky". It is said that it can chop ingredients at a low speed of about 1,500 times per minute and cut them evenly while leaving more water.


The secret is a basket designed with a special shape. It seems that the size is uniform by cutting the ingredients in the basket and dropping them down from the holes.


Let's actually compare the finish of "chop drop mode" and "food processor mode" using onions. Put the ingredients so that they fit in the basket, put the inner lid and the main body on it, and push it from above to start the rotation.



The difference is clear when you look at the carved onions.



In addition, in this mode, ingredients of different hardness such as carrots, cabbage, and boiled eggs can be chopped at once.






Add chicken, beans, and dressing to chopped vegetables and mix them to complete the "chopped salad," which has been attracting attention recently!



■ "Food processor mode" is a high-speed rotation that can make juice

On the other hand, the food processor mode is characterized by high-speed rotation of about 5,000 rpm (usually up to 3,000 rpm). Taking advantage of this, liquids and solids can be mixed smoothly.




■ "I want to use it every day" food processor

I also have a food processor, but until now I haven't used it often, just to prepare food such as chopped food. But with a multi-chopper, you can use it for cooking all day long, from morning drinks to evening salads.

The attached recipe book contains a wealth of arrangements such as okonomiyaki made by combining the two modes. I want beginners to fully increase their repertoire.

The size of the multi-chopper is W13.5 x H26.5 x D13.5 cm (including the case) and weighs 1.2 kg. The length of the cord is about 1m. Other than the main body, it is compatible with water washing and dishwashers. The estimated price is 10,880 yen (excluding tax).
