Food Processors On Sale

The food processor is one of the workhorses of a busy kitchen. With sharp blades and powerful motors, food processors help you prepare many common foods faster and more efficiently than ever before. They're surprisingly versatile, and help you get more out of your day with how much prep time they'll save you for every dish.

What can you do with a food processor?

Food processors are a great, multi-functional tool. With different pulsing patterns and accessories, they can be used for chopping, slicing, shredding, whipping, puréeing, mixing, emulsifying, dicing, and, in some models, even kneading.

A basic food processor is excellent for getting a fine chop or purée out of most ingredients. With, typically, 1-4 extremely sharp, rotating blades, they can finely mince, chop, and blend food in seconds. Work that would take an experienced chef ten minutes to perform by hand can be completed by a food processor within seconds, using just a few presses of a button.

What attachments can I buy for my food processor on sale?

Food processor attachments and functions are a great way to get even more out of a great food processor that you found on sale. Look for pulsing speeds for chunkier chop levels such as dicing and shredding. For more complex recipes such as mayonnaise, opt for a top-loading feed tube that you can use to slowly add ingredients as you process your food.

Slicing and shredding disks can be added to food processors from brands like KitchenAid to allow you to slice vegetables and shred cheese, so you can do even more with your food processor.

What's the difference between a food processor and a food chopper?

The key difference between food processors and food choppers is size. Each one has similar functions, but food processors are larger and are compatible with more attachments. This allows them to process larger amounts of food at once, but also makes them a more desirable choice for home chefs who plan on using plenty of attachments with their food processors for tasks like shredding and chopping.

Food choppers generally have 1-2 blades and have a capacity of fewer than five cups. Occasionally, food choppers are manually operated, and great for dicing and chopping very small amounts of softer vegetables.

Food processors, on the other hand, typically have a capacity of 10-20 cups, and are able to handle firmer ingredients and larger batches. Food processors are also more likely to have multi-purpose feeding tube on the top of their locking lid, which makes it easier to add additional ingredients while you blend. They're perfect for making dressings, dips, mashed potatoes, breadcrumbs, sauces, soups, and more. You can even use a food processor to make a large batch of cookies, so don't be shy—get chopping!
