Description

• Thus, for chopping, puréeing, or mixing you can choose between the large and the small working bowl. Moreover, you can use the small bowl to prepare the food which then can be further processed in the large bowl (e.g. to chop nuts for a nut cake dough). Only one bowl can be operated at a time.
