Bosch food processor - cuts into cubes!

Hurrah! Now I am also a happy owner of the Cube !!! Long ripe and now, it happened! It was presented to me for the New Year. I have already bought additional graters (a month ago). Found a corner for him. I will master.

And when you received it, did you not open it? When I receive a parcel from any online store, I immediately check it for defects or documents. Directly at the office of the carrier! If the marriage, then you have every right not to receive and return them! I haven’t had this yet, but the current in November took my son's phone, and the company (another) forgot to put a guarantee. I called them right there, they offered to leave the goods in Novaya Poshta, and upon the arrival of the guarantee, take everything away or trust them in private. I believed, they sent a guarantee the next day! Maybe you should call Fotos, there are quite adequate people. Maybe they'll change it like a marriage!

The fact of the matter is that it was not me, but my husband who received the box, of course he opened the box, quickly examined it, everything was intact from above, and who would have thought that the lid that was on the combine could break, so much so that it even broke off a piece through which products to lay down, and we ordered the goods for the first time via the Internet. Of course, I called the photo, they said that they would not be able to accept it, they might look for a cover, well, at least it pleases. The husband of course collected all the debris, glued it together, you can use it, but who knows, for how long?

Happy New Year !!!!

I want to say a few words about the knife))

Today I made an anthill - a favorite cake of my childhood. everything is fine, but grate the dough on a grater - so I decided to use a knife .... PERFECT !!!!!!!

As usual, with the help of a knife I kneaded a tough dough .... pulled it out and in small portions, adding flour, "grinded"))) I am VERY happy !!!

girls, tell me, please. So I look at the pictures on the Internet for the 5529 combine and see that there is a red ring around the switch, and mine is gray, can I have a fake? although everything is fine, but just wondering WHY? today I made a "fur coat", did it in a few minutes, so quickly, I stand and think: something is wrong, I probably forgot something. No, that's right, it's just that the harvester is too smart, my husband says: now you don't need me (help cut), what an assistant you have

natashamir, congratulations on your purchase and Happy New Year !!! I looked at my cube - really a red rim. Maybe you have a new party. But the most important thing is that he is smart. Let her work and please her mistress.

In the treasury of experience with the combine. I often use a disc beater, mainly for mayonnaise. For whipping proteins. The last two times, the whites were whipped for a very long time (10 minutes), there were 11 proteins for him. Divided in half, and now, 2-3 minutes and you're done.

I have black at all, and nothing works. Don't pay attention to the color scheme, enjoy the new thing - it's worth it!

I also have a gray bezel, I think they just changed the design

girls my pusher from 2 parts broke! Tell me where you can buy?

the service center must be contacted and bought as a spare part

Girls, I'm new here, congratulate me - today I brought my little cubs home)))

So far I've tried only cubes and a cocktail in a blender, I'm happy as an elephant))
Tomorrow after work I will continue mastering.

I'm new to this site, there is no joy! Boshik 5529 is a MIRACLE !!!!! no words bought for the New Year !!! a real helper !!

Girls! moved from mom to a completely empty apartment .. there is nothing but a board and a knife)))
From the variety of devices and the number of topics on this site, the head is spinning and there is already complete confusion, the further, the more
Can someone summarize its functionality:
1.What can be done with this harvester?
2. What's the quality of the shredder?
3 what does this combine perfectly do, what are its advantages and what are the disadvantages?
4. what it lacks, what it lacks, and what are its disadvantages (well, except that there is often a marriage) ..
Thank you! I really hope for a detailed answer, because something needs to be urgently bought .. and I don't understand anything anymore ..

It is worth looking at page 1 of this thread: there are nozzles and you can watch the video on the links.

I bought this model before the New Year - to chop up salads. The combine coped with this task perfectly. Also, in a blender, my wife knocks fruits down, and it was a discovery for me - mayonnaise is made from vegetable oil! With a utility knife, you can quickly make high-quality mashed potatoes or chop meat into minced meat. They wrote about mashed potatoes that the potatoes must first be grated on the "grate". It seems to me superfluous - to wash two nozzles. It is enough to throw everything that is needed for mashed potatoes (hot boiled potatoes, butter, egg, etc.) into a bowl with knives, a minute of business - and the mashed potatoes are ready!
They say that the blender lid comes off and the combine stops turning on. So far (pah-pah-pah) everything is fine with me (combine made in Slovenia). It is a pity, of course, that Bosh did not respond to user complaints and did not make changes to the design. So far, I have only noted the change in the color of the speed selector disk: in the picture in the Yandex market it is red, mine is gray. But I like gray more - more seriously
It's good that all the knives and graters from MCM 5529 fit on MCM 5540 (which has no blender lid defect). However, it is the policy of the Bosh company that additional attachments have to be bought at exorbitant prices in service centers. For example, an assembled cube cutter will cost as much as half a combine, so buying MCM 5540 and a cube cutter separately is not profitable, it is better to immediately buy these two combines. They also have slightly different attachment sets. It is strange that it is still the only harvester on the market that cuts into cubes. Philips recently released a blender with this function (Philips HR 1659), but in terms of the number of attachments and price, it is far behind this combine. In general, I recommend.

Happy New Year everyone !! I now have IT !! They gave it to me on December 31 after 20.00, when I plowed in the kitchen for 2 days ... I baked for 2 days, stirred, whipped, cut !!! Very timely !! and they themselves (my children) begged for gifts already on December 29! And I got mine when I fell exhausted on the sofa to rest before meeting NG!
Like this.
Well, of course, there are many positive impressions! But why!? why is there no AVERAGE GRAPE in the kit ?? !!
WHO COLLECTS THIS "FERRY SET" It's amazing ..
I went to Gorbushka at the address indicated here on the website - they made me round eyes ... and generally climbed the whole Gorbushka ...there are no additional attachments anywhere ... I will read all over again and search ...)))
About the work of the combine, I really liked the cubes)) the first time everything was perfect, the second time the potatoes were smeared ..
well, it was some kind of soapy potato itself .......... The mixer made me an omelet in 1 minute .. The raw potatoes in the soup were perfectly cut into cubes ..
I didn't quite understand whipping cream from butter and condensed milk - it seemed a little thin .. but I will try again .. whipped with a disc. By the way, the disc does not scratch, as they wrote here, lucky.
I haven't tried to beat the meringue yet ... suddenly it won't work?)) I would like to completely abandon the mixer that I do not like.

First, with a new thing! The cube is a great gift !!!
Secondly and most importantly, about potatoes. So that boiled potatoes are not smeared in half-mashed potatoes when cutting (at least in cubes, at least with a grater), they must be thoroughly cooled before cutting. In winter, after cooking, I take it out onto the balcony, in a warm season I shove it into the zero chamber of the refrigerator. You can even freeze it for 10-15 minutes. In the cold, it acquires the required hardness. With this technology, I have never had punctures. Highly recommend.
Butter / condensed milk cream, I think it would be better to beat with a multifunctional knife - a whisk disc with such a cream will not cope.

WHO ASSEMBLES THIS "FERRY KIT" It's amazing ..
I went to Gorbushka at the address indicated here on the website - they made me round eyes ... and generally climbed the whole Gorbushka ... there are no additional attachments anywhere ... I will read everything again and look ...)))

I almost forgot. I ordered additional graters from an official Bosch distributor. Type in a search engine, Google will help you find your regional representative. Or ask at service centers. I did, yes, I bought an average grater. But I also use the large one very often: radishes and fresh cucumbers for a salad are beyond expectations!
And a little surprise from Bosch - I had a potato grater in the general set, which, in theory, should not have been there. And not to the detriment of the set, but as a nice addition. A trifle - but nice

Thanks for the advice! I will definitely use it! And with add. grater is lucky for you!
Just ordered three baits - medium, julienne and fries. And I also ordered a whisk for knocking down with a nozzle for him. There they told me that he would come to the Cube. right now, not available, so I will wait for the order .. Maybe someone fitted the whisk to the Cube ?? Please answer, I haven't bought it yet ...

I didn’t buy a whisk, so I won’t tell you anything. But think about a cheating grater. Here not so long ago, samples were exhibited, as she rubs. I personally don't like it. I bought it, but so far I have never used it. The so-called average is better - the one that comes with the kit. She is actually quite small and a bit more like a julienne than the julienne itself. But it tastes and colors: it didn't suit me, others like it.

And I also ordered a whisk for knocking down with a nozzle for him. There they told me that he would come to the Cube. right now, not available, so I will wait for the order .. Maybe someone fitted the whisk to the Cube ?? Please answer, I haven't bought it yet ...

Lisss wrote that the whisk is rather weak, falling apart. She rewound it with duct tape.

yeah, it's weak for butter, doesn't pull it and whips whites

[And another question is not to those who just bought, but to those who have been using it for more than half a year: are you disappointed? maybe now would have bought another one ??]

Girls! but its power is enough to grind meat (not perfect, with veins) ??
And another question is not to those who just bought, but to those who have been using it for more than half a year: are you disappointed? maybe now would have bought another one ??

I didn’t grind the meat, but I’m sure it can handle it. Not at all about disappointment. I still adore and consider him to be my first assistant. I am using the eighth month.

The grater attachments were delivered literally in an hour !! well, I need it for proteins

Moskvichk @, let me insert my five cents. And why buy a whisk for proteins (though, if there are extra money or free space in the kitchen, then ....), if the disk copes with this task perfectly? (although there is a condition - from 3 proteins, but in stable peaks)

[And isn't it possible that no one grinds the meat into minced meat?]

I didn’t grind the meat, but I’m sure it can handle it. Not at all about disappointment. I still adore and consider him to be my first assistant. I am using the eighth month.

it's nice!) and I'm happy for you
but nevertheless the opinion of users of this technique is still interesting .. Is there anyone who regrets the purchase ?!
And isn't it possible that no one grinds the meat into minced meat?

I won't say anything about meat, I grind it in a meat grinder. I have had a combine for a long time, more than two years, I do not regret it - cutting into cubes and shredding in it is excellent

I have a BOSCH meat grinder, it is ideal, but when my irreplaceable Proficubix 5529 appeared, I forgot about the meat grinder. I was very interested in a large knife, very similar to 2 blades. the instructions for the harvester say that they can make minced meat. I decided to conduct an experiment. put the nozzle, threw the turkey brisket, onion (cut in half), chives, salt and pepper into the cup. turned it on at 1 speed ... and after 3 seconds I was in shock ... I could not believe my eyes, there was a homogeneous mass in the cup. very good fine grinding. Since then I have forgotten about the meat grinder, I use only a knife. I have tried almost all the functions of the cube. everything suits me !! I now recommend to all my friends, I'm a fan of BOSCH

here you can persuade me to wait ... maybe someone will dissuade

Why dissuade from a good unit? Suppose, you can "fight" with meat with the help of a fancy meat grinder, you can chop it in a sufficiently powerful grinder, at worst - scroll it in an antediluvian manual meat grinder. But not a single chopper will crumble you into even cubes! And besides, Bosch perfectly copes with any vegetables - even raw, even boiled.
However, if not everyone uses Bosch to scroll meat, this does not mean that Bosch cannot cope with this task. I just don't need this function in it. But his knife is very serious. For example, I grind nuts with it. And I knead the dough with it - just a song! A very light one - with a whisk disc, and a thicker one, like a cupcake, perfectly kneads a knife.
The car is good. To take it or not is your business, but personally I will not dissuade you from buying it)))

Suppose, you can "fight" with meat with the help of a fancy meat grinder, you can chop it in a sufficiently powerful grinder, at worst - scroll it in an antediluvian manual meat grinder.

the fact is that I want to put one thing on the table and use it .. I am annoyed by the amount instructed and interferes .. and if I hide it in the table, I might not get it .. I always forget about the blender (because it is hidden in the table)

are there other cheaper combines with all graters, but without a dice grater?
so that later, if the harvester and its graters meet expectations, it was possible to buy a grater for it with a cube and put it ???

Cheaper harvesters, but without a cube - like mud! But then it will be possible to buy a cube nozzle only for one or two Bosch models, and this nozzle will cost more than half the cost of a Cubix. And those models to which he fits are by no means cheaper than Cubix himself. So the savings are very dubious.

I also vote for Boshik - cubes are generally out of competition, salads can be made at least every day in any quantity, I chopped cabbage for sourdough instantly (I would cut with pens for 2 days) and carrots there. I made a cocktail with a banana and ice cream frozen to -21 - I like it. I have enough speed too. I won't trade my Boshik for any other. I'm happy that I have him - my assistant

And those models to which he fits are by no means cheaper than Kubix himself. So the savings are very dubious.

then this is not our option ..
I like it Pts and for the money it fits (Bosch-cube), I am confused by the power as for meat and I'm afraid of the marriage of the lid ..

Its power is excellent, and the defect of the lid is easily eliminated at home.
Well, yes, I will not try to persuade you, as well as to dissuade you. Temka was revered, here a lot of owners spoke out. Then it's up to you.

I have the same problem with blenders. I can't decide in any way. What falls on the soul comes in the wrong configuration, but where the equipment is needed - the reviews are not particularly positive. Eh ... Why did I just wander into this site? Life was so good before, nothing was needed, but now ...

that's for sure! grief from wit)))
well then it is clear why you responded to my calls .. we understand each other
So why do you need a blender if you have a cube? Or does he not solve all the issues ??

So why do you need a blender if you have a cube? Or does he not solve all the issues ??

The blender is stationary in the cube. And now I need a submersible. Boshikovsky perfectly copes with many needs, but in some cases submersible is just more convenient. For example, I do not buy mayonnaise, I use it exclusively at home. And in a stationary it is a rather tedious process. "With a foot" - zip, and you're done. Well, for another, I will adapt it. Although the use of mayonnaise alone will justify the purchase of a new unit, because it is better to cook mayonnaise a little bit so that you can eat fresh every time. But this is already off-top.

Girls, now I know what a fat minus Cube has - I really want to work on it longer, otherwise, he, such a parasite, does everything instantly and quickly that you don't have time to enjoy the process !!!
Yesterday I cut a whole bowl of cabbage salad in 2 minutes, then I changed the attachment and in the same place - carrots, radishes, cucumbers !! Well, the song is so beautiful!
Then I made a cream of butter and condensed milk on it, put a knife attachment. At first it seemed to me that he did not mix well near the walls, but then nothing seemed to be done. And the cream was thick enough.
On Sunday I'll test the whipping disk for proteins - then I'll unsubscribe. Then I'll decide whether I need a whisk or not ...

Tell me a proven online store where you can order this harvester in Sochi without prepayment. In our stores, it costs 9 thousand.

[Muscovite]

Yesterday I cut a whole bowl of cabbage salad in 2 minutes, then I changed the attachment and in the same place - carrots, radishes, cucumbers !!

Muscovite, I strongly recommend: try chopping radishes and fresh cucumbers with a coarse grater. Maybe you don't like it, then you will forget about her with a clear conscience. Or maybe on the contrary, you will only cut them with it all the time. As for my taste - chic slices are obtained.

[Muscovite]

Muscovite, I strongly recommend: try to chop radishes and fresh cucumbers with a coarse grater.

azaza, thank you so much for the advice on the coarse grater! I had it lying around as unsuitable from the moment of purchase.and today I was in a hurry with the salad, and I remembered your advice about the cucumber !! the result is great! so in my life I would not have thought that you can get such slices on this grater, so on the sly I also crumbled the Bulgarian pepper, it also worked out very well thanks again .. I will now experiment with it!

[azaza]

azaza, thank you so much for the advice on the coarse grater!

To your health! I'm glad the advice came in handy. It is also very cool to chop the daikon with this grater. The radish is small, there are pieces, though pretty, but quite a wide spread in size. And the daikon turns out to be even, pretty. And most importantly - the shape is so interesting, and the size is just what you need

[Klyazma]

I will definitely try daikon

but I know only one salad with daikon - Klyazma , and what are you cooking with him?

And I don't bother too much. I love daikon by itself, with light homemade mayonnaise, and I like to add it to cabbage salads - from white cabbage or Peking. By itself, cabbage has a rather boring taste, and add daikon, bell pepper, green peas to it and you already risk swallowing your tongue. You can add a cucumber: at least fresh, at least salty. I have such salads wonderfully go instead of heavy side dishes for meat. Inexpensive, useful, and always available in our latitudes.

[about chopping meat with a utility knife]

There was a speech about chopping meat with a utility knife... So I didn't try to chop fresh, but chopped boiled turkey into cutlets with this knife. First, I chopped the onion and garlic, then added the meat and chopped it in a pulse mode (so as not to miss the moment and not get porridge), then changed the knife to a kneading hook (again, to avoid "porridge"), brought in the rest of the ingredients and good mixed. It turned out great

I tried chopping raw meat. I report
- chicken, turkey - great to chop!
- but beef has a big minus the veins that are in the meat are not chopped, if a meat grinder that did not chop winds on a knife, then you remove it in the trash, then in a cube (however, as in any other combine) these lived in minced meat unprocessed. You need to either thoroughly prepare the meat in advance, or then get it out of the minced meat with your hands. In general, beef is easier and faster in a meat grinder!

[Mrrr meow]

Mrrr meow, your profile does not indicate where you are from. But if from the vastness of the former and the mighty, it is most likely that it is quite cold now, which means that you should not turn on the combine immediately after delivery. He should warm up a little. This is not useful for technology: from the cold - and immediately into the network. Let stand. Carefully check the completeness, the integrity of the bowls and locks on them and on the lids, filling out the warranty card, and the presence of a sales receipt. And turn it on after it has been warm for a couple of hours. Of course, without checking it seems like you buy a pig in a poke. But deliberately ruining the equipment is not worth it. A negligible percentage that you will be slipped into a non-working device.
I, too, can hardly restrain myself - new devices have just been delivered, so I want to plug them into the outlet! But I keep myself in control with the last of my strength

And I still ordered a cube cutter. My wife did not like the size into cubes - nothing, she will get used to it.
Here they once asked about a Bosch bag, it turned out to be too small, knife disks are inserted into a small compartment (this is unambiguous), into a large one - a large plastic one can and can be shoved, but it will be back to back and only one thing. I put all sorts of small parts of the combine there

I'm from Ukraine .. yes, it's cold and they told me that it's better not to turn it on right away .. but I read that many turn it on and everything is ok ..but I was overjoyed early and you can relax today: they called and postponed the delivery for tomorrow, it's good that I have not yet started preparing food for cooking ..
Congratulations on your purchase .. I guess what's there .. then brag
tv2000 Thank you! I hope so ..
