Blender vs. Food Processor

[Guest guest]

What is the main Difference between a food processor and blender? I

know it is a stupid question, but I am not sure. My blender broke

last night and I have a food processor, but was wondering if I

should get a new blender as well. What do you mainly use each one

for?

 

Thanks,

I bought a dinky little 1.5 cup food processor. My blender works better as

far as mixing stuff up but I bought it because it came with a grating plate

and grating is the biggest pain in the ass when it comes to things like

cabbage. So really it is my 1.5 cup automatic grater lol

 

The only thing I would buy a food processor for would be if I had to make

stuff for an entire family instead of just one serving size at a time or if

I was really into nut butters and wanted to make big batches of them. It

takes a bit of coaxing but I can get nut butters made in my blender.

 

I think most people who swear by their food processor are more into the

recipes whereas someone like me eats basically whole foods and lots of

smoothies so the blender works best for me.

 

If you can make stuff in your food processor that you used to make in your

blender then I say don't bother getting a new one )

The difference is the blade, and depends on the quality of your

equipment. In general, a food processor cuts/minces food, while a

blender beat the food to death. That's my perspective.

I find the food processor is great for chopping up foods into small

bits, as well as for slicing and shredding some foods quickly. It

also mixes foods of smoother consistancies, which are too thick for

some blenders.

 

I use the blender for making smoothies and sauces, which I wish to

have very smooth. The blade breakes down nuts and other things into a

much finer consistancy. A food processor will likely leave nuts

gritty, compared to a blender.
