Deciding whether or not to keep this 12-cup Kitchen Aid food processor I bought; better than a blender? Hello everyone, Trying to decide whether or not I should keep this 12-cup food processor I bought, and some of the things that are holding me back are: I want exactly what a blender does, but have one, which is liquefy foods -- will a food processor "liquefy food", i.e. make it into a mush?

I can only afford one right now, which should I get first? a food processor or a Kitchen Aid stand mixer? I'm more of a cook and don't bake at all...but a reason why I don't bake is all the mixing involved! Thanks everyone for their answers...I was leaning towards a food processor as well..but I've always wanted the Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer. It just looks sooo nice. I have a gift card to use up -so I thought since I would actually use my "own" money to purchase a food processor (because it is a handy tool and a good investment)...that I should use my gift card towards the purchase of the Stand mixer! hahaha. I think I'll be practical and get the food processor :o)

Deciding on whether or not to buy kitchen aid 12-cup ultrawide mouth food processor. Share your thoughts! Hello everyone, Thanks for taking the time to reply to my query, I appreciate all responses! What would you say of the kitchen aid 12 cup ultra wide mouth food processor? I have heard mixed reviews as to the ultra wide mouth, that it doesn't allow for good liquid amounts. I've also heard that the way the ultrawide mouth is positioned makes it so its processing capacity jar (12 cups) is more like one for 6 cups or less. Please share your thoughts, reviews, etc. I prefer personal reviews, and ones that are suited to my question about the ultra wide mouth feeding tube. Thank you so much! Av

Which food processor is better KItchen Aid or Cuisinart? Iam planning to buy a food processor and i got 2 good deals at macys. now am just confused about which one would be better. There's Cuisinart 12 cup food processor which is priced at $127 in clearance. and then there's KitchenAid 9 cup food processor for 149. cos of the price am leaning towards cuisinart but am not really sure how it would be. the main reason am buying a food processor is Iam really tired of kneading dough for bread and pizza. Andthe constant cutting andchopping and slicing is becoming unbearable. I do cook an awful lot. Please do give your opinions based on the noise the processor makes and stuff i've heard that cuisinart parts are made of cheap stuff and it keeps breaking. Also that its noisier. Is it true?

Is anyone familiar with Kitchen Aid's KFP715[WH] Food Processor? This particular product is recommended by CR (on-line); it is at a comfortable price range--my only true concern is noise pollution...

Do I really need a food processor for this? Or can I do it manually? "Blend the cream cheese, sugar, and sour cream together in the food processor until smooth. Scrape down the sides, as needed.

I'm following a recipe for this cheesecake: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/chocolate-cheesecake-candy-cane-bars-recipe2/index.html Oh, right, I have a hand mixer too. Sorry.

How to chose a blender or a food processor?

Ideas or tips anyone!? Thank you.

What is the best way to pack kitchen gadgets when moving home? Hi, I'll be moving apartments in a couple of weeks and I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to pack those awkward kitchen gadgets? I'm particularly anxious about my blender and food processor, as they have a lot of attachments with them, and I am worried they may break.

KitchenAid food processor or a stand Mixer: Which to get? I have enough points saved up on my credit card to get something really nice. I've had my eye on a KitchenAid KFPM770 food processor this whole time, but if I wait 2 more month I would be able to get one of their really nice stand mixers. I don't know which one to get, with all the attachments that the mixer has it can pretty much do everything that food processor does plus extra. But maybe I'm wrong, I haven't used these before. So what is your favorite thing in the kitchen? a food processor or a stand mixer? Considering I don't have room for both anyway, which one should I get?

Whats the best food processor I can buy? I am returning a £250 Magimix 5200 because I am not happy with it.

I want something that is easy cleaned, great at making dough, looks good and has a long guarantee. Any suggestions anyone? I was considering one of those cuisnart kitchen aid ones but not too sure. Must be good at blending veg etc too. Cheers

I already have a Cuisinart 7 speed Blender, can I buy just the food processor top? I have noticed now that a lot of places are selling the Cuisinart blender with a food processor top that comes with it. So you can either change it to the blender or the food processor, only by changing the container, and you still keep the same base. Is there something like that, that I can just add on or buy, since i already have the actual blender? For example: http://cgi.ebay.com/Cuisinart-CB-600FP-BLACK-DUET-Blender-Food-Processor_W0QQitemZ330271598771QQcmdZViewItemQQptZSmall_Kitchen_Appliances_US?hash=item330271598771&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 This has both and I only need the additional food processor, but I have the base.

Hummous.... how do I make it? This is how I make my hummous. It doesn't seem to get as smooth and creamy as the hummous that I have at my local lebanese restaurant. It seems like it may be from the skins of the chick peas which don't seem to puree exceptionally well. Please review my process and tell me if I should do something differently to get better results. 2 cans chick peas, drained juice of 1 lemon 3 tbsp tahini sauce 1 tsp salt 1 clove garlic, pulverized I blend all ingredients in the kitchen aid food processor at highest speed.

What all is on your kitchen counter? And how often do you use the items? I have a coffee pot, very small, used a few times a week. A knife block, though most of the knives are in the drawer. A large George Foreman Grill, used once a week. A blender/food processor...once a month. A counter top wine opener, used very often. Sugar and flour containers, used rarely. Clorox Wipes, used daily. That leaves me with enough room for my cutting board and a few bowls for prep work!

What's the name of that food processor? My food processor died recently and I am trying to find one that I saw on a television commercial about a year or so ago. Of course, I can't remember the brand name! I've searched the internet for the t..v. commercial, but have had no luck. It starts out with a woman in the kitchen, using the food processor, like she's doing a commercial. Then, her husband and another couple come to the kitchen door and he's admonishing her about leaving him and her guests waiting while she uses the machine. Does anybody remember it? Does anyone know what brand it was touting? Please help! Thanks!

Does leaving a Kitchen appliance plugged in waste electricity when its not in use? Like a food processor or toaster..it doesnt have blinking light or anything..just plugged in.

How did these might have happend? Think about the technology of food processors and blenders. How is a feedback loop might have improved the technology for use in home kitchens? How a basic food processor and blender works? Why is the size of restaurant equipment would not work in a home kitchen? What might happen if a food processor or blender did not have lids? How did negative feedback might have made manufacturers change the design and function of a food processors and blenders to be used in home kitchens and how these changes would be improvements on the product?

Food Processor recommendations? Hi I am not a new cook, but I am new to nifty kitchen appliances. Is it true that food processors can slice/dice my veggies for me?

I've tried researching this several times between Google and Amazon reviews, but have gotten nowhere. Thanks!!

What is the best kitchen gadget/appliance to slice even vegetables and meats (from paper thin to thicker)? I've never used a mandoline, food processor, or electric kitchen slicer and the options are a bit overwhelming. I'd like the most versatile appliance with the least possibility of slicing off my fingers. I'm willing to spend money on a quality addition to my kitchen, but I don't expect to slice pound upon pound of veggies every day. I'm really looking for thin, even slices for my new food dehydrator that I can't quite seem to accomplish with my knife.

How did you recieve your Kitchen aid rebate item? ? I know that I have to wait 8wks to get my food processor, but I called Kitchen aid to see if I could change my address because I'm moving and she said that she couldn't because it was already sent to be processed, but she could not provide me with any other information, like tracking number. I wanted to know if anyone has received a rebate item, and how it came? USPS, FEDEX, UPS? Since she could not help me change my address maybe I can get help from one of them. I really really want my item ( it goes with my new wedding present)!!! Thank you.....

Food Processor and Mixer in one? Or two machines? I am saving up for a food mixer as I love making cakes and meringues (?). But I also love the idea of making pastry without all the hard work. I love the look of a Kitchen Aid or Kenwood mixer, but do either do cakes and pastries or do I have to buy a mixer for one function and a processor for the other? I know that mixers can do great cakes and also bread/pizza dough, but is that all? Thanks people

What kind of blender works best to puree baby food? I'm wondering what kind of blender have you found works great to puree baby food? I have a Kitchen Aid blender that they don't sell anymore, and to make it simple... the thing sucks. I'm just wondering that if you puree your own baby food, what blender have you found does a wonderful job? And please don't tell me to buy a food processor. I'm asking about blenders, not food processors. I don't want a food processor because they cost way too much, and I can't afford it. As far as blenders go, I'm looking for a regular blender that you would use to make drinks also. I don't want any of the little blenders that you can buy to throw a meal in and blend because I am pureeing very large amounts of food. I'm talking like 6 large sweet potatoes, etc.

Deciding on whether or not to buy kitchen aid 12-cup ultrawide mouth food processor. Share your thoughts! Hello everyone, Thanks for taking the time to reply to my query, I appreciate all responses! What would you say of the kitchen aid 12 cup ultra wide mouth food processor? I have heard mixed reviews as to the ultra wide mouth, that it doesn't allow for good liquid amounts. I've also heard that the way the ultrawide mouth is positioned makes it so its processing capacity jar (12 cups) is more like one for 6 cups or less. Please share your thoughts, reviews, etc. I prefer personal reviews and ones that are suited to my question about the feeding tube, however all responses are accepted and as much information provided the better! Thank you so much! Av

Sims 2 food processor ? Has anyone tried to download recolored food processors from simsresources or modthesims2? I always use the same old blue food processsor in my games and would like to have different colored food processors. I downloaded some recolored food processors from simsresources and modthesims2 last night and cannot get them to show up in my game. Has anyone gotten the recolored food processors to work for them? I'm thinking it's one of those objects that is there by default and can't be changed unless you have a stuff pack like Kitchen and Bathroom Stuff installed. (or other.) I have Sims Deluxe, University, Seasons, Open For Business, Bon Voyage, Apartment Life and H&M installed on my laptop if that helps at all. Can anyone tell me how to get the recolored food processors to show up in the game?

Should I get just a food processor or a blender also? I am a recent college grad trying to minimize the cost of me acquiring basic kitchen appliances. I got a good quality multi-cooker ($36.97) and a dehydrator ($74.36). A new food processor would cost me $29.99 + shipping. I wanted to know if I should get a blender also or if the food processor is good enough to do anything a blender would do also. I want to minimize cost as well as space, so I'm not sure if I really need a blender or not. I have no experience with food processors. Will they blend as well as a blender does? For those who don't know, a multi-cooker works as just that. It's a crock pot/slow cooker, rice cooker and deep fryer. The cost of buying each of these separately could easily top $300. I think a device that costs just $37 and does it all is a great deal. I'm using the dehydrator for long-term food storage. Planning to buy meat and vegetables in bulk during clearances and dry them out. I'm also going to dry out the herbs, mint, and tea leaves that I grow on my porch and balcony. It's about $75, but should pay for itself eventually. The blender or food processor or combo is meant for making shakes, chopping, slicing, etc. So, my goal is to find something that will do it all. I drink a lot of smoothies and do a lot of dicing and chopping and want the cheapest trade-off with time, space and cost-effectiveness. My goal is not to spend more than $300 total in kitchen appliances.

Best way to crush ice for drinks? I've had morning sickness and found iced drinks like Slush Puppies really soothing. There used to be a kids toy called Mr Frosty that was similar. I don't want anything big, but would like to have something in the kitchen that does the same thing that takes up as little room as possible. I don't want to pay out for a food processor as I already have one of these but never use it! Any Ideas?

I need storage ideas for small kitchen.? My home is very small and the kitchen is the smallest room in the house (besides the bathroom!). Unfortunatley, I had a really nice kitchen in my previous home and had all the fun stuff to go in it. Appliances, large platters, pasta bowls, etc. I have a wall with really nothing on it. Right now I have a bakers rack but it is a junk catcher and really doesn't have that much storage space. Any ideas what I can do instead of the rack? I have considered buying an antique wardrobe at auction. I'd love any other ideas. I just want to be able to store my cook books, large platters and bowls, crock pots, food processors, stand mixers, ect. Help!

Useful Kitchen Appliances? I want to buy some things for my kitchen. Here are my choices: Bread Machine, Steam cooker, More Tefal cookware, A food processor. I have a deep fryer, counter top grill (useless gift) Mixer/ hand mixer, coffee maker, and state of the art appliances (fridge/stove) and all the basics. I DO NOT have a microwave which I did last year, but I don't use it either. What do you think I should buy next, why, and the pros and cons. I really want the steamer, but I don't know what I would put in it besides vegetables (any ideas?). I rarely cook meat, only for my fiance. I want a kitchen aid, but it is kind of expensive here (I moved to Europe last year), so I was going to put that on my bridal registry. Is the kitchen aid better than this Kenwood? http://www1.kenwoodworld.com/product_detail.php?cat=288&id=732 It has attachments for juicing, shredding, food processing, dicing, ice cream making and more. I cannot pick best answer b/c they are all very helpful!!!
