Product Overview

Stepping up your kitchen prep doesn't have to be a faff. Meet the Caterlite Commercial Food Processor, a seriously versatile bit of kit designed to make light work of chopping, blending, and puréeing. It's a proper workhorse for smaller kitchens, combining the power you need with a footprint that won't take over your entire counter. If you're tired of prepping everything by hand but not quite ready for a giant, industrial machine, this is your perfect middle ground.

Built for the hustle and bustle of cafes, delis, and small restaurants, this multi-function processor packs a punch with its 750W motor and generous 2-litre bowl. It comes with a separate 1.8-litre blender jar, meaning you can whip up a smoothie or soup just as easily as you can blitz ingredients for a pâté. The five speed settings, plus that all-important pulse function, give you total control over the texture of your creations, from chunky salsas to silky-smooth sauces.

With its smart stainless steel housing and double safety switch, the Caterlite is as sturdy as it is simple to use. It’s an affordable, reliable, and incredibly useful tool that will save you bags of time on daily prep, letting you focus on the cooking itself. Ready to give your knife skills a well-earned rest?

The separate blender jug is a brilliant touch, essentially giving you two machines in one and saving precious counter space.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Garden Pantry, a bustling deli in Norwich, was struggling to keep up with demand for their homemade sandwich fillings and daily soups. Their team was spending hours each morning manually chopping vegetables, which was becoming a real bottleneck.

"We needed something that could speed up our prep without costing a fortune or taking up half the kitchen. The Caterlite unit has been brilliant. It's straightforward, powerful enough for everything we throw at it, and the team picked it up in minutes."

Mark Davies – Owner, The Garden Pantry

By automating their daily chopping and blending, The Garden Pantry cut its morning prep time by over 30%, allowing them to expand their menu and serve customers faster during the lunchtime rush.

Mastering Texture: What the Pulse Function Really Does

Ever tried to roughly chop an onion in a processor and ended up with onion soup? That's where the pulse function comes in. Instead of a continuous, powerful spin that quickly purées everything, 'pulsing' gives you short, sharp bursts of power that you control. Think of it like tapping a light switch on and off versus flicking it on and leaving it. This control is brilliant for things like salsas, breadcrumbs, or roughly chopping nuts, where you want to break ingredients down without turning them into a paste. It lets you stop and check the consistency, ensuring you get the perfect texture every single time.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always place the processor on a flat, stable, and dry surface before use.
  • Ensure the bowl and lid are securely locked in place; the double safety switch won't let it start otherwise.
  • Before the first use, wash the bowl, jug, and all attachments in warm, soapy water.
  • Never plug in or switch on the unit until it is fully and correctly assembled.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean all removable parts immediately after use to prevent food from drying on.
  • The bowl, jug and attachments are best washed by hand – avoid harsh abrasives.
  • Wipe the main motor base with a damp cloth only. Never submerge it in water.
  • Regularly check the blades for any signs of dullness or damage.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Food Processor

Not sure what fits your kitchen best? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Capacity is Key

Think about your batch sizes. A 2-litre bowl like this one is great for small cafes, but a high-volume restaurant might need a 5-litre model or larger.

Motor Power Matters

For basic chopping and sauces, 750W is plenty. If you're frequently kneading dense dough or processing very hard ingredients, look for models over 1000W.

Consider Attachments

This model's blender jug adds huge value. Think about what you'll make most often—do you need slicing discs, grating attachments, or a dough blade?

Safety First

Look for features like a safety interlock (like the double switch on this one) which prevents the motor from running if the lid isn't on securely.

Ease of Cleaning

Smooth, simple designs with fewer nooks and crannies are much easier to keep clean and hygienic. Removable parts are a must-have.
