The KitchenAid Food Processor vs the Blender

When most citizen think of smoothies and icy drinks, they typically think of the blender. The blender has long been a staple of kitchens and bars everywhere. It can chop ice, it can puree soups and salsas and it can even chop up fruits and vegetables into fine pieces.

Put side by side, they don't look that different. Both have a stockroom where the food is chopped or pureed, and there is a motor in the base that is controlled by a switch or a series of buttons. But that's where the similarities end.

Blenders

It's common knowledge that blenders are great at blending things, obviously. They are exquisite for any kind of cold or icy drinks where you have to add ice to give it a tiny thickness and texture. Blenders are great at crushing ice, provided it's a good one, and it's rare to find a kitchen without one. Bodybuilders use them for protein shakes, cooks use them for salsas and gravies and kids use them for milkshakes.

However, when it comes to blenders, they beyond doubt can't hold up against food processors when it comes to more solid foods. Have you ever put a whole apple into a blender to see what would happen? The apple does get chopped, but it's often halfway done. The blender's just not effective when it comes to solid foods. That's why many citizen prefer the food processor over the blender, for a whole of reasons.

Food Processors

These are designed for solid foods. You can chop, mince, slice and even puree vegetables, fruits, cheeses, bread, and any other solid food you feel like sticking into the chamber. If you stuck all those things into a blender, you'd likely end up with a mess. With a these, you have varied functions that allow you to tackle many solid food jobs. Instead of hand chopping broccoli or celery, for instance, you can just use the food processor. What's more, you can also use these to make all your favorite smoothies, protein shakes, gravies and salsas, too.

It would appear that the KitchenAid Food Processor can do everything the blender can do and more. It's a surprise that more homes, bars and restaurants don't put them to use. With all they can do, they should be a staple of any kitchen, commercial or residential, for they are the classic appliance when it comes to preparation foods the way you want them.
