Tip 1: chop with the food chopper attachment
Do you want to chop nuts and chocolate into coarse pieces? Use the food chopper attachment. This accessory is very suitable for processing hard ingredients thanks to its razor-sharp blades and high power. And with the small mixing bowl, it's also very suitable for grinding herbs and spices. You can connect it to the high-speed drive on the back of your stand mixer. So, you don't need the mixing bowl of your stand mixer.
Tip 2: cut and grate with the food processor attachment
Do you want to grate carrots or cut apples into cubes or slices? Use the food processor attachment. You can connect this attachment to the low-speed drive on the front of your stand mixer. Use the mixing bowl of your stand mixer to collect the grated carrot or apple slices. The food processor attachment is usually included with a set of cutting discs for the desired grating or cutting thickness. There are even special fries discs for cutting fresh fries.
