Food Processors
When it comes to preparing good food there is perhaps no better kitchen tool to help save time and produce great results than the food processor. From chopping to slicing or mixing to blending, the food processor is a modern cook’s second pair of good hands.
In deciding which food processor to choose, it is important to think about how and what you cook and your level of skill in the kitchen.
Food processors range in size from minis, which are great for making butters, chopping nuts and making pates. On the other end of the spectrum is the 14-cup heavy duty model that can used to prepare recipes ranging from pie crusts to other tasks like grating, slicing and chopping for some of your more complex recipes.
