Practical advice

Oils and fats

•Always use oil that can withstand high temperature.

•Do not mix different types of oil or fat.

•Change the oil or fat when it becomes brown after cooking.

Preparing the food

•Whatever the recipe used, the food must be perfectly dry. this will avoid overflowing and make the oil or fat last longer.

•When preparing potato-based food (chips, crisps, etc.), cut them up and then wash them in cold water to remove the starch. Dry them carefully. This will stop them sticking together.

The Black & Decker EF2500 is a versatile and powerful electric food processor designed to simplify meal prep and make cooking more efficient. Known for its user-friendly design and strong performance, this model has become a staple in many kitchens.

One of the standout features of the EF2500 is its 250-watt motor, which provides ample power for a variety of food processing tasks, from slicing and shredding to chopping and mixing. This motor works quietly and efficiently, allowing users to prepare ingredients without disturbing the household. The processor comes equipped with a 9-cup capacity bowl that is large enough to handle family-sized portions, making it an ideal choice for home cooks who frequently entertain or prepare large meals.

The EF2500 features a variety of stainless-steel blades and discs, allowing users to achieve precise cuts and textures. The slicing disc is perfect for uniformly cutting vegetables, while the shredding disc is designed for quick cheese and vegetable preparation. Additionally, the chopping blade is excellent for creating smoothies, dips, and salsas, making this processor incredibly versatile.

One of the key technologies in the EF2500 is its patented “S-Motion” technology, which incorporates a unique bowl and blade design.
