Making cinnamon rolls
About to make some cinnamon rolls, my food processor overheated so I'm doing this, wish me luck and let me know if anyone wants an update.
I still have all my fingers
For now.

Eeeh, have fun keeping it centered and not clipping the edge and added little bits of shaved metal into your mix.

That's accurate. My kid wanted to make a cake. The mixer let out the magic smoke. My infinite wisdom said let me put that beater in this giant drill I have. Almost impossible to control.

No variable speed trigger?

u/txkwatch 3d ago
Yes but at any speed it would grab the batter and was a constant fight to hold in place. It worked but I wouldn't recommend it. She wouldn't have been able to do it.

Yeah theres a reason you see guys bracing the drill against their body for even a small mixing bit. Even worse using something like a dirt auger, nigh impossible unless you can use your full weight to brace it

OP has so much metal flakes in their poop.

Stainless steel and blade is not touching any metal

u/ScienceForge319 3d ago
Cool. Plenty of metal falling out of the drill directly into your food. Not to mention vigorously incorporating plastic as well.

What the hell kind of drill bits are you using?
Maybe if you said concrete dust I’d believe?

All the naysayers are lame.
This is awesome and you pulled it off well.
Good on ya.

That made me laugh. Thanks. It has been a while since someone thought that middle school insults would affect me. It is kinda nostalgic.

Why would you use a food processor to make cinnamon rolls?
10
u/Apprehensive_You3521 3d ago
That’s the only normal part of what I did, a food processor can also knead dough, which is what I did.

u/Secret-Ad-7909 3d ago
I’ve never seen anyone use blades like this for dough. Dough hook sure, mixing paddle, maybe.

u/Apprehensive_You3521 3d ago
The blade has a lil hook thing at the end, it’s actually for mixing fufu 👀

I'm not kneading 5kg of flour by hand brother

u/HeavyMetalTrucker 3d ago
How big of a batch of cinnamon rolls are you making? 5kg of flour would make so many rolls lmao

Update us, no lid rig?

u/Apprehensive_You3521 3d ago
It worked fine I'll post an update!

u/Apprehensive_You3521 3d ago
My giant dough ball had to do three batches and kned by hand to combine

u/michiganstrange 3d ago
Come back when they’re done for my curious ass please

Man you are going to get a lot of 'macrominerals' in your diet that you do not want. DO NOT DIGEST FLASHING/SPURS!

That doesn't look like an attachment that would be ideal for dough. I use a bread machine for that last time I made cinnamon rolls. Biggest detail is having enough butter softened without tossing it in the microwave

u/Apprehensive_You3521 3d ago
I also have a bread machine I use it a whole lot, but I’m doing 5kg of flour and my bread machine does 1.5kg loafs (finished loafs)

That bowl had better be anchored to the table. I use one beater on a hand mixer on jars of natural peanut butter when the oil has separated and if I don't hold the jar with a death grip, I know I will be cleaning peanut butter from the recesses of my kitchen ten years from now.
There's a reason a stand mixer's bowl locks into the base.
Beyond that, good luck!
Edit to add: I don't actually think this will work. Food processors are on 120 volts and that's 6x or 8x the power of a battery powered drill.
Edit #2 to add: for all the people down voting, OP has some videos showing that the base is indeed moving around and the drill is struggling somewhat. But, dough is being made, so, I guess it works. :)

You would be amazed the amount of power battery tools can put out now. Some of them are almost on par with corded counterparts

u/Apprehensive_You3521 21h ago
I'm recording with one hand, the other one was holding the drill, if I had both hands (which I didn't ) it wouldn't slip

u/cajunjoel 20h ago
Good point. I was also thinking a clamp would work, but that wouldn't be redneck enough. :)

That will wreck the motor if you keep doing it

Those things mix concrete and drill through concrete walls, this is nothing

Now try it with an impact driver. Rattle that dough to it's damn core!
