Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Lavender Kettle, a quaint tearoom in Bakewell, Derbyshire, needed a solution for their daily scone and soup prep that didn't involve their large, noisy commercial mixer. They opted for the Kenwood FP120A to handle these smaller, frequent tasks.

"It’s been a fantastic addition. I can quickly chop all the veg for our soup of the day or mix a small batch of scone dough in minutes, right on the counter. It's quiet, efficient, and saves us from firing up the big machine, which has streamlined our morning prep routine massively."

Robert Davies – Owner

The Lavender Kettle now saves an estimated 30 minutes of prep and cleaning time each morning, improving workflow significantly.

Get Perfect Results: Why the Pulse Function Matters

Ever tried to quickly chop some herbs and ended up with a green paste? That's where the 'Pulse' function on the Kenwood FP120A food processor comes in. Instead of running the motor continuously, pulsing gives you short, sharp bursts of power that you control completely. Think of it like a chef's knife – you decide how finely to chop. For nuts, a few quick pulses leave you with chunky, crunchy pieces perfect for a brownie. For onions, it gives you a neat dice without releasing all the water. It’s the secret to getting the exact texture you want, preventing over-processing and giving you professional-level control over your ingredients.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

Before first use, wash the bowl, lid, and attachments in warm, soapy water.
Place the base unit on a flat, dry, and stable work surface.
Fit the bowl onto the base and turn clockwise to lock it; the machine won't start until it's secure.
Select your desired attachment (e.g., chopping blade) and place it over the central spindle.

Keeping It Going

The bowl and most attachments are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended) for easy cleaning.
Never immerse the motor unit in water. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Always unplug the machine before cleaning or handling the sharp blades.
Store the attachments inside the bowl to keep everything together and save space.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Food Processor

Not sure which food processor is the best fit for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider to help you make the right choice.

Bowl Capacity

Think about your typical batch size. A 1.4L bowl like this Kenwood is perfect for smaller households, light prep, or single recipes. Larger kitchens might need a 3L+ model for bulk processing.

Power and Speed

A 400W motor is great for general chopping, slicing and mixing. For heavy-duty tasks like kneading dense dough, look for models with higher wattage (600W+). Multiple speeds offer more control, but a simple pulse function is often the most-used feature.

Included Attachments

What do you want to make? Basic models chop and slice. This one includes discs for grating and a tool for whisking, adding huge versatility without needing separate gadgets.

Footprint and Storage

Counter space is prime real estate! A compact food processor 1.4L is a space-saver. Check the dimensions and consider models where attachments can be stored inside the bowl.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for dishwasher-safe parts. A machine that’s a pain to clean is a machine you won’t use. Smooth, wipe-clean motor bases are also a plus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the 5 accessories included?

A: This model typically comes with a main chopping blade, a whisking tool, and reversible discs for coarse grating/slicing and fine grating/slicing.

Q: Can I use this in my busy restaurant kitchen?

A: This unit does not come with a commercial warranty and is designed for home use. It's better suited for very light duties in a commercial setting, like in a B&B or for recipe testing.

Q: How does the safety interlock work?

A: The motor will not engage unless the bowl and lid are correctly locked into place, preventing any accidental starts.

Q: Is it difficult to clean?

A: Not at all. The bowl, lid, and attachments are all dishwasher safe, and the main base unit just needs a quick wipe with a damp cloth.

Q: How much liquid can I put in the bowl?

A: The total bowl capacity is 1.4L, but for liquids like soups, it's best to stick to the maximum liquid level marked on the bowl (usually around 800ml) to prevent splashes.

Q: Is the Kenwood FP120A food processor noisy?

A: For a processor of its size, it operates at a very reasonable noise level, much quieter than larger, more powerful commercial machines.

Q: Can it knead bread dough?

A: Its 400W motor is not designed for heavy tasks like kneading dense doughs. It's best for lighter mixes, chopping, and slicing.

Q: What does the pulse button do?

A: The pulse button gives you short bursts of power for precise control, which is perfect for coarse chopping without turning ingredients into purée.
