I. How is hummus made?

 

The general process for making hummus involves cooking, then grinding and mixing. The standard production process is as follows:

A[Dried chickpeas] --> B[Soak overnight] --> C[Cook until soft] --> D[Pour into a chopping blender] --> E[Mash into a puree] --> F[Add seasonings] --> G[Mix well] --> H[Finished hummus]

 

Key Steps Explained:

 

Steps

Key Points

Instructions

Soaking

Soak in cold water for 8-12 hours

Beans absorb water and expand, shortening cooking time

Cooking

Cook until soft and easily crushed with your fingers

Approximately 1-1.5 hours, you can add baking soda to speed up softening

Grinding

Pour into a chopping blender and run on high speed

The bottom blades will chop the beans into a paste

Seasoning

Add sesame paste, lemon juice, garlic, salt, olive oil, etc.

Add according to the recipe

Mixing

Mix at medium speed until smooth and even.

The throwing knife performs a hybrid function simultaneously.

 

 

II. What machine is the option?

 

By understanding the production process of hummus, we can conclude that the production equipment needs to have both crushing and mixing functions. Therefore, the vertical cutter mixer is very suitable.
