hi there,

I was given a Moulinex Odacio 3 food processor recently. I've always
wanted one, but now I'm a bit daunted by it and the couple of times
I've used it it hasn't done quite what I expected. Before I go back
to my stab blender and big knife :-) can I ask if there is anyone here
who is a virtuoso food processor user who can offer me a few tips?

Things like... grating: I'm left almost instantly with a slice that
won't grate (slips between the holder and the spinning blade. Is it
me or is it supposed to be like this?

Even with teh blender. I tried to puree some cooked
chickpeas/garbanzos in the blender (there's a blender as well as a
food processor bit) and it was really hard! They kept kind of
avoiding the blade. Then there's the tiny little blender for small
quantities- that didn't work for the garbanzos either. I'm sure that
it's me that's the problem. I feel like a new computer user saying "I
can't get it to do anything!" about a new PC.

Anyone who can help I'd be really grateful.


Hope
