Paper 1
Revise: Using Kitchen EquipmentSwitch off and unplug blenders, processors and mixers before reaching inside, changing attachments or cleaning them. Treat blades and grating discs as sharp cutting tools, even when the machine is stopped. Never put your hands into a blender or processor while it is plugged in.
Link an equipment choice to the task and the desired result: a blender produces a smooth soup; a pasta machine produces evenly thin sheets.
Distinguish a blender’s cutting blades from a mixer’s beating, whisking or kneading attachments.
