The plastic "kneading" blade, because its dullness exerts more
pressure, it actually creates more heat than the sharper metal blade.
My main objection to using food processors for kneading doughs is that
they operate at too high an rpm. But I'm not a fan of the home type
food processor since it does nothing well other than take up a lot of
space and collect dust. I'm not a fan of multi-task machines, I much
prefer the real deal in the form of a dedicated machine. I don't care
for what essentially is a motor with an array of attachments none of
which work very well... from what I've been told even the attachments
for personal vibrators don't work well... naturally nothing works as
well as kneading by hand.
