Usha FP 3811 Food Processor Review

Jars

The Usha FP3811 comes with 3 jars of 500 ml, 1.2 litre and 1.8 litre capacity and a a large food processing bowl of 3.5 litre gross capacity.

Food Processor Attachments

The Usha FP3811 comes with attachments for slicing, chopping, grating, kneading, citrus and centrifugal juicing.

Motor Housing

Comes with 1000 watt motor, 2 speed control, pulse function and dedicated storage for food processor discs.

Slicing

The reversible slicing disc is sharp and excellent for slicing vegetables for green salad, onion for Biriyani, carrots, beetroot, potatoes, green bananas and so on.

Grating

The reversible grating disc can be used for grating and shredding carrots, cheese, beetroot and other firm ingredients, except ginger and garlic.

Chopping & Mincing

The sharp blades can mince meat, chop onions, herbs, beetroots, carrots and more in less than 30 seconds.

Kneading

It may take a while to get the right proportion of water to flour. But, by gradually adding water as the kneading progresses, you can get soft dough for roti, pizza, various parathas and more.

Centrifugal Juicing

Leaving a lot of juice in the leftover pulp, the centrifugal juicer is a let-down.

Grinding Performance

The Usha FP3811 grinds idili and dosa batter to a fine consistency, but takes a longer time. The consistency of chutney and dry grinding performance is not adequate for a 1000 watt mixer grinder. 

Noise Levels

Making around 90-94dB of noise, the food processor is moderately loud.

Safety Features

The food processor has ample safety features. It doesn't start running unless the jars are properly fixed to the housing.  There is a dedicated drawer for food processing discs and the chopping blades have safety guards.
