Cuisinart Blender/Food Processor | Mixers and Blenders

Blenders and food processors can often be used for the procedures in the kitchen. Why would you want a food processor if you all ready have a blender? The functions can be quite different.

Blenders most often puree food into a drink. Food processors have a wide variety of funtions. Different blades perform different functions which include cutting, chopping, pureeing, shredding, dicing, mashing and grinding.

All food processors come with different blades. You should also compare the power or wattage of the units. You should look at the compacity or bowl size. See how many speeds there are and if there is a pulse button.

If you know what you are going to do with your food processor then you will know what to look for. For example, if you are going to make bread dough, you will want a large capacity with heavy-duty power ( over 400 watts) to take care of your needs.

If your needs are small, you might consider one appliance that functions as two. This Cuisinart blender/food processor is just that, it can functions as either appliciance. However, the capacity is small. The blender is only 5 cups and the food processor is only 3 cups. It might fits your needs but if it is too small, then keep scrolling down the page for larger capacity food processors and go to the blenders page or the Hamilton Beach blenders page to see other blenders.

This Cuisinart Blender and Chopper can be used as a blender or food chopper/processor. It comes with a blender jar, a chopping cup and travel cups. Perfect for all your needs at a reasonable price.
