It would be nearly a decade before it really caught on, but for serious cooks, the food processor has become an indispensable kitchen appliance for all kinds of shredding, chopping and mixing jobs.
The original, dubbed Le Magimix by its inventor, Pierre Verdun, was a scaled-down version of the Robot-Coupe, a machine he’d developed for commercial kitchens.
Verdun, a culinary salesman, had noted how much time chefs spent laboriously chopping and slicing vegetables. In 1963, he introduced a device that took the drudgery out of that work. One machine did slicing, mixing, chopping, grating, blending and more, completing in minutes jobs that took hours by hand.
