They came today and I had the students unpacking them and we will use them in the next two weeks when we go into our fall holiday cooking. I plan to make hazelnut sable and we need to chop up the hazelnuts into a flour. We are making Linzer dough and will use the food processors to make hazelnut flour, which is not available in our area to purchase. Many of my students have never seen or used a food processor.
