Before food processors, pesto was made using a mortar and pestle. You can also just chop the basil and garlic very finely, crush the pine nuts with the back of a spoon and mix everything together.

How To Choose The Best Food Processor?

A food processor is a device that is designed to mince, chop, puree, slice and shred food. Even though all of those activities can be done without a food processor, it certainly makes life a lot easier. Food processors made their debut in the 60s, so they are relatively new compared to other kitchen appliances. Why Do I Need A Food I Need A Food Processor? You may be wondering, "Do I really need to get a food processor?" Do you do a lot of pureeing, slicing, shredding or chopping? Do you enjoy making salsas and dips? Will you be using the food processor at least once a month? Do you have enough room in your kitchen for a food processor? Do you have a dishwasher? If you answered yes to at least three of these questions, then you will most likely need to get a food processor. Some people think that they do not need a food processor if they need a blender. However, it is important to note that blenders require a little bit of liquid to keep the food moving through the blades. Food processors do not require the use of liquid. How To Choose The Right Food Processor Since every food processor basically does the same thing, choosing the right one can be difficult. However, if you know what to look for, then it will be a lot easier for you to choose the right processor. You should choose a processor that has simple controls. A simple processor has three controls, on/off and pulse. You will also need to choose a processor that will not work unless the entire unit is completely locked together. You should choose a processor that can hold at least nine cups of food. Furthermore, you may want to choose a processor that comes with an instructional DVD and touch pad controls. These will make your processor easier to use and clean.


Can you refreeze pesto?

Hi, If you want to refreeze your pesto, I would say that depends. Pesto freezes really well. I freeze pesto and I use it within a year. If you defrosted your pesto and only used part of it, I would refreeze it if: 1) The pesto had been defrosted in the refrigerator and did not sit out for longer than half an hour. 2) I had not used any meat or cheese in the pesto Otherwise, it is better to use it all now. Some pestos are made with chicken broth. Those you will likely not want to refreeze or allow to defrost outside the refrigerator. When I freeze my pesto, I leave out the cheese and add freshly grates Parmesan and/or pecorino after it is defrosted. If you notice that the pesto has oxidized quite a bit, I would not use it. And in the future, I would make sure it was sealed up a lot better.
