| Moulinex Multimoulinette |
Pay attention to this model, because if you are looking for a chopper that does more than chop, the Multimoulinette has 3 chopping blades at different heights, 2 speeds and an emulsifying disc. The 3 blades allow the chopping to be more uniform than that with only 1 blade since the food does not escape above or below the blade itself (a common error in the classic choppers, in which they end up with remains of food without stinging in the centre of the glass). For its part, the emulsifying disk is very useful for mixing sauces and tasty condiments. In addition, its lid is sealed so you can emulsify with total peace of mind.
With regard to the 2 speeds, we recommend that you use the fast speed for foods that are hard, such as chocolate or nuts) and that the slow speed reserve it for more delicate foods, such as onions, mushrooms ...
The other choppers are very safe, but the Multimoulinette is even more so: it has a safety system by which the chopper does not start working if it does not detect the bowl and lid. And in addition to safe, it is comfortable since all the accessories can be put in the dishwasher.
Like the 1,2,3 XXL, the Multimoulinette is ruby red, but in this case, its measurements are 14.6 x 14.4 x 28 cm, its weight of 1.2 kg and its power of 500 W.
Advantage:
- Turbo button very useful for harder foods
- Option to choose the chopper with a glass or without it
- It has 3 blades at different heights and emulsifier for sauces or condiments
Disadvantages:
- Sometimes it lacks power
- It is missing that the base is more stable since the engine is at the top
- The cover of the contender does not twist, so it must be held during the whole task
- The 3 blades is a very good evolution with respect to the rest of picadors, as well as the ability to emulsify. In addition, the 2 speeds allow us to vary the chopping of food.
