food processors

[Guest guest]

perhaps someone other than can explain it to you better.

 

a food processor chops, grates, grinds, slices thin or thicker

slices, sometimes french fry shapes.

 

a food processor has a larger area for the food to be chopped,

blended, pureed so there may be only one or two pulses and then the

food easily removed from the bowl.

 

sometimes I cook carrots and parsnips together and blend when done

in the food processor with a little maple syrup. I blend it once or

twice so it's still just a little chunky, sometimeis I blend it

longer so it's a puree, then it's easy to get out of the bowl.

 

if I did this in a blender, it would take a lot longer, I wouldn't

be able to choose between chunky or pureed as well as with a food

processor.

 

if I wanted to make cole slaw, carrot salad or waldorf salad in the

blender, likely I'd need to use a lot of water and do a lot more

pulsing of the blender blade...with the food processor no water is

needed, you don't need to pulse as much to get the desired degree of

chopped or pureed food, then much easier to remove from the bowl.

 

there's no way I could make my raw fudge balls in a blender. I

would need a lot of liquid in there to blend all that up together in

a blender.

 

i hope this helps you understand better.

 

I slice celery with a food processor, you can't slice with a

blender, I chop a large amount of walnuts in a food processor, I

coudln't do that in a blender without having the nuts pulverized.
