I was watching Lidia Bastianish on TV just now, and
she was pulsing her food processor as we all do when
the vegetables (or whatever) start riding on top of
the chopped layer. And I noticed that while most
food processors have a pulse button, I can't remember
ever seeing a food processor with an automatic pulsing
feature. That is, a mode in which the food processor
would pulse itself. Like two seconds on and one second
off, repeated.

Have you ever seen such a feature on a food processor?
I'd guess that one reason not to include it is to let
the cook feel more engaged with the process of food
preparation. And it wouldn't actually save time.
It's not like you'd free up a bunch of time to do
something else while the food processor pulses itself.

But it's a feature that would cost nothing to add.
I don't see any reason why it isn't already a standard
feature of food processors.

Then again, my idea for greatly improving microwave
ovens has never been adopted either.
