Why I Hate Food Processor
When looking for a good food processor, you will need to understand what are their pros and cons, what
Specific functions do you need, the amount of capacity you need etc..
Basically most people will need a 11 to 14-cup processor. Though a little heavier and bigger, they are
Very powerful and durable enough to last you for several years.
If you have a bigger household, then it makes perfect sense to go for the bigger-sized ones instead of just 7
or 9-cups.
On the other hand if You're in a smaller household, you might want to consider getting small food
processors instead. They're also known as mini food choppers.
They have bowl sizes which go up to 6 cups. In my opinion and from Customer's feedback, 3 cups seem to
Be a fantastic size.
These mini machines are great for lighter usage and smaller jobs such as chopping garlic, herbs, onions
etc.. They can also be used to grind spices, blend butters and mayonnaise.
Since they are lighter and smaller in size, They're an easier option for storage compared to the full-sized
ones.
Now let's take a look at some of the key areas a top food processor should perform well in.
Risk of Leakage
The bottom if it's not solid and steady. Additionally, be certain your lid is properly closed.
Hence, you should look for a high-quality food processor that has sealed bowl feature to prevent spillage
Of food to refrain from having this issue.
Setup
The setup should be straightforward and not complicated so even beginners can figure their way out to
use the blender. The setup mostly include buttons on the blender.
Typical food processors have 2 settings that are On/Off and Pulse, for adjusting the speeds.
Filling Capacity
The filling capacity is the complete area in the blender that you could fill up with.
High so you can cook more food without worrying about it overflowing.
High filling capacity is also a plus point for larger families as you can cook a lot one short without
reloading for the second batch.
You should be looking for wide feed tube so that you will not
need so much pre-chopping before fitting
the food into the machine.
Bases And Motors
One of the criteria for top-rated food processor is strong base and motor.
If you are mixing doughs for making bread, then a sturdy base is definitely required. If the base or motor
Is not strong enough, the doughs may not be able to mix well.
Noise
Everyone prefers a soundless blender but unfortunately, not all blenders are quiet when processing
food. The majority of these machines are noisy because of the high power used for the motor to operate.
Therefore in case you would like peace and quiet while cooking, you need to pick the quiet motor food choppers.
You can even minimize the sound by padding the bottom of the blender to prevent vibration.
Difference Between Food Processor and Blender?
Food choppers are more suitable for splitting, dough kneading, slicing, grating, grinding, chopping,
mashing and pulverizing your foods. Basically they are great in handling heavy foods. You can even blend
hummus and chop rough ingredients like nuts.
These food machines normally have bigger work bowl and capacity for handling heavy-duty tasks.
Blenders on the other hand doesn't have enough power or capacity to do what we mentioned above for
food processing machines. Countertop blenders are more suitable to handle tasks such as grinding,
emulsifying, blending, pureeing etc.. They are best for making sauces, cocktails, smoothies, soups etc..
These machines excel at giving you a smooth texture of the blended ingredients or liquids.
