used for so many things, that&#8217;s marvelous.

And this article is proof of this with evidence from the videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_use_Vitamix_as_Food_Processor\"><\/span>Can you use Vitamix as Food Processor?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, if used properly at reasonable speeds a Vitamix can both coarse and fine chop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like <a href=\"https:\/\/blendersguide.com\/use-a-blender-as-a-food-processor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">all other blenders<\/a>, a Vitamix blender can also work as a food processor as well as other blending and grinding machines. You will need to run the blender slowly and constantly mix the veggies or other stuff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At high speeds, Vitamix will crush the ingredients to hell and blend is to dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_use_Vitamix_as_Food_Processor_to_chopshredgrate\"><\/span>How to use Vitamix as Food Processor to chop\/shred\/grate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By following the steps below, You can use a Vitamix instead of a food processor to chop vegetables easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Put a handful of vegetables (about one and a half cups) in the container. You do not need to fill the jar for good results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start the blender at the lowest speed by keeping the dial at speed level 1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At this speed, the blades will not completely crush the ingredients but just move them around the blades with slight chops.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the tamper to constantly push the food down on the blades for consistent chopping.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you want more fine chop, increase the speed to the next level 2 or 3. Do not increase the speed to top levels, <a href=\"https:\/\/blendersguide.com\/vitamix\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vitamix is a powerful blender<\/a> and it can emulsify ingredients at higher speeds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After the desired consistency and level of chopping are achieved. You can either use a spatula to pour the product out or use a cutting board on top of the blender jar and flip it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dry_Chopping\"><\/span>Dry Chopping<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the method of throwing food items such as ginger, cauliflower, onions and carrots, etc. from the lid on slowly running blades in an empty container of Vitamix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These items are smashed by rotating blades and thrown to the sides of the container. You can adjust the speed of the blades to make the chops at desired accuracy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want it coarse, you should keep the blender speed at the lowest level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You do not need to worry about over-blending because after a certain level of dicing the ingredients move to the sides and are not crushed further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want a finer crush, you need to speed up the blender a little more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p class=\"responsive-video-wrap clr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Use a Vitamix Instead of a Food Processor\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MEQ3F67L8Zk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vitamix for dicing and chopping<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wet_Chopping\"><\/span>Wet Chopping<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wet chopping is another superb method to have nicely chopped veggies. You can accurately process the food in the Vitamix blender using this method. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All you need to do is put your ingredients (cabbage, cauliflower, or any other food) in the Vitamix container. Then fill the container with water up to the max level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep the speed at level 6 or 7. Pulse the machine for up to 5 seconds. And that is it! <br>Strain the excess water from the mix and you will get a fresh and perfectly fine coleslaw real smooth and easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p class=\"responsive-video-wrap clr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to do Wet &amp; Dry Chopping in a Vitamix Blender | Video\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dYXB4H7M6R8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vitamix as a food processor for <a href=\"https:\/\/blendersguide.com\/vitamix-dry-vs-wet-container\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dry and wet<\/a> chopping<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Vitamix_make_dough\"><\/span>Can Vitamix make dough?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can knead bread dough with Vitamix instead of a food processor with these steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You do not need a dry container or a food processor attachment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_use_Vitamix_as_Food_Processor_to_make_dough\"><\/span>How to use Vitamix as Food Processor to make dough?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By following the method below and with little patience, you can get the perfect dough for your bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Put about two and a half cups of dry flour in the container (you can use any Vitamix and wet container).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Run the blender on low-speed level 2 for a few seconds on dry flour.
