What Can The MAGIMIX Do ?
Magimix machines are manufactured in France for people who really care about
their food. You now own a machine that will take many of the laborious food
preparation chores off your hands leaving you free to devote your attention to
the actual cooking and presentation of the finished dish. Your Magimix food
processor will chop, mince, liquidize, slice, shred and grate, make pastry, cakes
and dough, giving perfect results in only seconds, and what is more, when all
the work is completed, you have a piece of equipment that is easy to clean.
The double-bladed knife is the accessory which will probably most frequently be
used. It can be used to process various types and quantities of food and for a
range of purposes, from coarse chopping to producing a smooth purée, to
mixing blending and liquidising. Hard or soft ingredients may be processed
using the double-bladed knife and ingredients may be placed in the bowl or
gradually fed in through the feed tube while the machine is running. During
processing it may be necessary to stop the machine to scrape food down from
the sides of the bowl. Do not exceed the maximum capacities given in the
recipe book.
The mini-bowl or mini-processor does the same job as the main bowl but it will
process very small quantities. A few sprigs of parsley or a couple of cloves of
garlic can be chopped very satisfactorily in the mini-bowl and there will be no
need to wash up the main bowl. It can also be used for vinaigrette, sauces and
baby foods and there are many examples given in the recipe book.
The Midi Bowl* can be used with the following accessories: discs, egg whisk
and citrus press (optional accessory depending on the models), there will be no
need to wash up the main bowl.
The work capacity of the Midi Bowl* is the same as for Compact 2100.
It is suggested in the recipes that, before processing, many types of food are
cut into I” (2.5 cm) cubes. Obviously this is a guide-line and it is often
unnecessary to cut chunks into pieces as small as this or in the shape of a
cube. As you become familiar with your machine you will be able to judge the
correct size for pieces of food to be processed and the time that will be
required.
The recipes in the book are designed to give some nice and unusual ideas but
also cover all the main uses of the Magimix food processor. Recipes are given
for pastry and bread: Follow them and you will find how easy and satisfactory it
is to bake at home. The cake recipes use the all-in-one method, which is not
only very quick, but, in the Magimix food processor, the most satisfactory way
of making a cake.
Using a Magimix food processor to its full potential is, when you have fam-
iliarised yourself with the machine, a question of experiment and discovery. You
will find that the more you use your Magimix food processor the more it will
become an essential part of your life. It will speed up the preparation of your
favourite dishes and inspire you to cook dishes that, in the past, always seemed
too time consuming and ambitious.
Do no attempt to process:
Exceptionally hard cheese, except through the
Parmesan disc; bones or hard gristle, coffee beans, hard spices such as cloves
or peppercorns, tough cores or skins, very dry biltong.
