I read so many posts in which people refer to their food processors. People refer to them to puree veggies, to make french fries, etc.

I don't have a food processor and I am considering buying one. I don't need a "fancy" one...I'm not much of a cook! Also, I don't have a lot of cabinet space and won't leave it on my counter (I hate clutter), so a smaller size is preferred.

Any recommendations? Anyone out there who just LOVES their food processor?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

The most I am satisfied with and use for almost everything I prepare is the Ninja one I bought and it was the best purchase I am sure!

My husband bought me the Cuisinart one as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago and this one is like a high end one that is more than $100 and all I did with it was put it in the corner of my cabinet!

I had the magic bullet before and it got damaged so quickly while it was still on the warranty, the rubber support that goes onto the mixer used to be damaged so quickly and I got the part replaced the first time, but the second time, even though it was still on warranty, they did not want to hear about it, so I ended up having all the cups and I threw the mixer in the garbage.

I bought the Ninja one on special for only $30 and believe me it is the best $30 I spent, it is amazing how it does everything I need for this diet! I use it for crushing ice with my shakes, for mixing my meat with vegetables to make patties, for vegetables purees, for chopping my herbs such as parsley and mint, believe me, I use it for almost preparing everything! I do use bleach and soak it in bleach and soapy water once I use it for meat in order not to get any food contamination.

I hope this helps!

Thank you, ladies! I agree--the Cuisinart seems like a lot of money and a lot of space!
I will check into both of your suggestions! THANKS, again!

I don't have a food processor, but I do have an immersion blender. Its a fancier one with attachments and such, but I really like using it to puree soups and making smoothies, It works like a dream. Mine has a case to hold it and all of its attachments and fits perfectly in a shallow drawer in my kitchen. It has completely replaced my regular blender! I also have a cheap mandolin for slicing and dicing veggies quick. Doesn't take up much room either Could be another option for you, depending on what your requirements are! Good kitchen tools can make all the difference

Silverfire--you're a genius. Why the heck didn't I think of buying a mandolin?!?! I think this diet might be making me lose weight AND brain cells?!?!?

THANKS!

[Silverfire]

Happy to help!!! (and I'm totally with you on the brain cell loss feeling!) lol

Here is a post that I found on thekitchn that might help you find the right mandolin for you

I love my Ninja. Works really well and can do pretty much everything. I use it daily for cooking and for my IP meals.
