So that processor I used oh so many years ago still stands as my sole
experience with the machines. I keep thinking a food processor would
be a nice addition to my kitchen, but currently I only cook for
myself, so quantities of ingredients are an issue (I don't like waste)
and cleanup is the real kicker, I have a serious aversion to doing the
dishes, although I'm getting much better (I just checked, my sink is
empty). So I don't experiment as much as I should, but I'm gonna get
right into my Joy of Cooking one of these days.
Anyway, I see food processors at the thrift store occasionally, but
they all seem to me to be bears to keep clean. Or maybe I'm just
totally unfamiliar, but the one I used way back when was a total pain.
Anything in particular I should keep my eyes open for, brand or
model-wise, should I decide to invest?
