Do you use a food processor? Ima thinking of getting one.
>>20840768no, but i would buy a cheap hand one if you haven't exactly needed one so far
I only really use my FP to make hummus and pesto.
>>20841644I just got one of those hand ones. Haven't really used it yet, I wonder if it can really puree stuff.
>>20840768Having a food processor, juicer and blender is pretty essential to being vegan.
>>20840768What’s the difference between a processor and a blender?
I just got a stick blender and it does the trick for most things. Aside from that a knife and a box grater work fine. I don't think food processors are a required kitchen appliance.
>>20841932a blender is more for liquidy ingredients while a food processor is good for chopping of stuff like vegetables or cutting butter into flour and often have accessories for slicing or grating stuff as well
>>20840768I've got a Vitamix blender and thinking of getting a food processor attachment, but it costs as much as a good food processor.
>>20841932Blender mixes, food processor chops

Buy a 10+ cup one. I got an 8 cup one and have been regretting it for years. 8 cups is not shit in the grand scheme of things and is basically "small" size. I'd go for 12 cup or larger next time.I own the 8 cup version of the one in the OP.
>>20841940I used to think this until I got one and realized I could turn 15 minutes of grating potatoes into 30 seconds of throwing them into the pit of despair
>>20840768I bought a refurbished vitamix. Cost a lot like any good tool. I love it. Still prefer my Jack lalanne power juicer for carrots and celery
>>20840768I use mine for >soups (although immersion blenders are better)>mayo>chopping cabbage>slicing meat>shredding cheese>making meatballs>chopping nuts >grating/slicing carrots >chopping up potatoesprobably a bunch of other stuff I don’t recall now. I would say it doesn’t necessarily save me time- it just lets me make more food or more complex recipes. And it’s better when you’re using it for multiple times for a meal.
you FUCKING idiots. PROCESSED FOOD BAD! Have you learned NOTHING?!
>mogs modern technique in your path
>>20844151The biggest problem is that it takes more effort to clean the food processor than the time it saves compared to manual tools. It's just not a very practical tool unless you are cooking huge portions.>>soups (although immersion blenders are better)>>mayoimmersion blender is also better for mayo>>chopping cabbagetakes 30 seconds to chop with a knife>>slicing meatknife>>shredding cheesemaybe if you need to shred a kilogram of cheese>>making meatballsit's not a good substitute for a meat grinder>>chopping nuts knife>>grating/slicing carrots knife or grater>>chopping up potatoesknife
>>20840768Yes, I cut vegetable in it and make dough. Love it.
>>20841782I see, no wonder i never felt the need for one.
>>20844539Yeah, I’m not using it when I’m making 2-3 servings of food. I bust it out when I’m making 2-3 cabbages of slaw, or 3-4 pizzas, a bunch of pesto, etc. Or if every component of my meal can in some way use it. Mine is dishwasher safe, so I just slam it in there when I’m done. Meat grinders and immersion blenders are better for what you listed, but I don’t have those.
>>20844158You know full well thats not what people mean when they say "processed" you pedantic assbarrel.
>>20840768yes its in the SINK and you dont eat it its just washed down the drain
>>20841932To add to the other responses, although you can make some foods in either a blender or a food processor, in my experience the processor makes it easier to get goopy/pasty foods like hummus out with less mess and less waste.
>appropriately behaving like how to even ... i am fuckin HANGRY like a weirdo thats been brutalized for centuries effin like bruh i need some ice cream bro
