I'm needing a food processor for pesach. what do you like, wich one makes a good kugel? I was thinkinf of getting a 9 cup kitchen aid because I like the 5 cup one I have for the year, but I notice that the blade doesn't grate the potatos as fine as I'd like.

Does anyone have the bigger models? Do they come with more of a variety of blades or would you reccomend another brand? Which makes the best kugel? I'd prefer to not buy bosch unless it's much better than other brands. Thanks!

I cant find the model no. But its 500watt for power. I dont think they make many models. Its a Jewish company AFAIK.

can't find info about either magic mill or braun. I probab;y will go with a kitchenaid or cuisinart then I guess. ooh although the magic mill is much cheaper. the 12 cup ka or cuisinart is $140-200 and this is less than $70. It's tempting but I wonder how durable it is. It's 9 cup not 12 cup but that's not too small. Hmm!

Oh, and thanks for the info, everyone Smile

From what I remember from last year, I was very happy with my Bosch compact mixer. One of the best parts was continuous feed shredder. It also had a blender and an excellent mixer for beating egg whites. I also liked the fact that one machine did all, and didn't take up a lot of counter or storage space.

I wouldn't spend so much, bas hinda. it's only used once a year and sometimes appliances don't store well.

something smaller is easier to store and costs less too. for kugel or salad or ice cream, you'll just empty the bowl a time or two, if it's small.

What's the big deal, BasHinda? Got to a store and buy one. What's your budget?

We go through at least one cake a day...including few days before Pesach. They all involve beating egg whites and mixing the dough.

I like researching things thoroughly, cm. that doesn't mean necessarily it's a big deal but I like checking out all my options. I'm just that type of shopper I guess. I got interesting advice on the jewish-food group from Norene Gilletz who's a food writer. She says that she would go for the KitchenAid or Cuisinart and that I could get an extra blade for them but she wouldn't bother but that I shouldn't press hard on the feeding tube because that's what makes the strands coarser. You learn something every day. Amazon is having a sale on a 12 cup kitchen aid and I think that's what I'll get.

I haven't made a pesach cake so far either. I'm too scared it will be a complete flop.

Helani, do you bake before and freeze, or bake fresh each day?

bashinda

Okay here's what I got.

I try to make as much as I can before Yom Tov, to avoid any issues. It helps to have a huge freezer.
BTW, I just took my Bosch out (since I am due any day now I am doing everything extra early...and no, it's not fun to eat in the garage for two weeks before Pesach Wink

)...but anyway, it also has a citrus juicer attachment if you're in a mood for some fresh lemonade or fresh squeezed orange juice.
