Kitchen Equipment Their Uses (with Pictures) | eHow

A food processor chops, dices and minces food usually in preparation for cooking. It is a high-powered appliance with a motor built into its base. The machine comes with a number of different blades that can cut food in a variety of ways. The blades and calibrated speed control allow you to chop heavy or light foods,

Rotisserie

A rotisserie is an oven-like machine that slowly rotates meat, fish or poultry on a rod over heating coils until cooked. The machine cooks the meat slowly and keeps it from drying out. The food does not have to be basted or turned as in a regular oven.

Slow Cooker

A slow cooker is a ceramic vat that rests inside a metal shell. A heating coil in the insulated shell heats slowly and stays at a low, even heat. The tool is used to make stews and roast meats and vegetables. It is safe to leave a slow cooker running while you are not in the house so a meal can cook while you are away.

Blender

A blender is a glass or stainless steel jar with a tight-fitting lid. It rests on top of a small motor that spins a rotary blade inside the jar. The motor runs the rotor at a variety of speeds. Use the machine to blend and puree foods. You can make smoothies, cream soups, sauces and gravy and anything that requires food to be blended, pureed or whipped.
