T-Fal Fresh Express Food Processor {2014 Holiday Gift Guide}

Many of us – myself included – want to eat more fruit and vegetables in a bid to live healthier lifestyles. But certain things hold us back. Unhealthy food can be easier and quicker to get hold of, and as a mother with children who often want their meals prepared quickly and straight away before they “die from starvation,” I know more than most how time-consuming healthy food can be to prepare. 

With fast food restaurants offering convenience where fresh food offers routinely boring chores, such as slicing endless cucumbers and mushrooms until the world seems like it’s about to end, regularly preparing homemade fresh food for the whole family isn’t always the most convenient thing in the world to do, and so a lot of us avoid it. That is until now. Slicing your cucumbers and mushrooms with the T-Fal Fresh Express Food Processor is remarkably easy and saves you so much time. You gently slot your cucumber into the attached wavy slicer, switch on the power and watch the machine do its work in seconds. Bingo. 

The T-Fal Fresh Express Food Processor encourages us to eat healthier and to put nutrients before the bad stuff by offering a simple and easy way to prepare fresh food. It’s incredibly easy to use, and because of its simplicity it actually helps you to be more creative with our dishes. For example, with the T-Fal Fresh Express Food Processor you can prepare homemade coleslaw in just a few moments, which then gives you the time to add a bit of flair to the dish, substituting lemon juice for the fattening mayonnaise. It’s also super compact, taking up barely any space on the kitchen counter, with all the components packing neatly into the appliance when not in use. 

The product comes with 5 cones which perform different functions: 

• Coarse grater – beets, cheese
• Parmesan grater – parmesan
• Wavy slicer – carrots, fruits
• Fine grater – zucchini, onions, bread crumbs
• Fine slicer – cucumbers, potatoes 

The different cones make it really fun to use, and give you the chance to experiment with food combinations you might previously have not tried, with each one grating or slicing extremely quickly. The time you save, as well as the hassle you lose, is amazing. With this product, you’ll no longer have to indulge in those time-consuming, awkward tasks, such as slicing onions and grating cheese, because the F-Tal Fresh Food Processor does it for you, and you can easily dispense with all the shredded and sliced food into your serving ball, meaning there is no mess left behind. Even better, it’s dishwasher proof. You simply remove all the parts and pop it into your machine. 

Because of the time it saves you in preparing food, it means you can be super creative with your fresh food meals. Nutritious food doesn’t have to be bland and boring, and this product encourages you to be inventive with your dishes. For example, whereas previously grating soft cheeses might have seemed like disaster waiting to happen, I simply freeze my cheese over night before slipping it into the coarse grater. Voila. 

It’s also a very intelligent machine that doesn’t need to be forced to do something; just lightly feed the ingredients into the chute and the processor will do the rest. Moreover, it’s safe and can even be used by children, with the rotary blades remaining encased and protected when in use. The product is available from Hudson’s Bay, Canadian Tire, Walmart, Target, London Drugs, Home Outfitters as well as Sears.
