Food Processor 101: What Does It Do & How To Use It?
FOOD PROCESSOR VS. BLENDER: WHAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
A food processor is great for chopping, slicing, shredding, mixing and pureeing everything from crunchy veggies right through to soft cheeses. Take the hard work out of your traditionally more labour-intensive tasks such as kneading dough, and utilise the variety of blades and discs available with each to provide a wide variety of ingredient shapes and sizes.
Blenders, on the other hand, are better for liquids and is used to create smooth textures for things like smoothies, soups and sauces... Or perhaps an icy cocktail to enjoy as the sun sets!
