id=\"Food_Processor_Vs_Blender\"><\/span>Food Processor Vs Blender?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As described by comparing blenders with <a href=\"https:\/\/blendersguide.com\/juicer-vs-blender-vs-food-processor-how-to-choose\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">food processors and juicers<\/a>, we have clearly declared the functionalities of these two kitchen staples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blender smashes ingredients with blades rotating at very high speeds. The food processor either slice\/chop with rotating sharper blades or simply mix stuff like making dough. More details on the comparison of these machines could be read in the article linked above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_difference_between_a_food_processor_and_a_blender\"><\/span>What is the difference between a food processor and a blender?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A food processor has a large bowl with wide blades that are very sharp and intended to chop or slice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The size of the bowl is larger than the countertop blender to spread the ingredients away from the blades to avoid the chopped or sliced ingredients getting back over the blades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food processors are ideal for shredding and cutting a large amount of raw food to speed up the cooking process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A food processor cannot do the task of blending. You can juice in a food processor but you cannot make thick consistent smoothies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blenders on the other hand are made for emulsifying and tearing apart all the ingredients and mixing them very well. The container of a blender is typically longer with a smaller diameter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason for that is to bring the ingredients back over the blades many times during the blending to achieve fine crushing and consistency with fine texture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could never make a smooth and creamy smoothie in a food processor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_blender_work_as_a_food_processor\"><\/span>Can a blender work as a food processor?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, a blender can work as a food processor in lots of tasks. These may include chopping, shredding and slicing. Not all blenders can do all of these tasks, but most of them do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, You can replace Vitamix with a food processor in almost any processing task except slicing. This is because the Vitamix blender blades are not sharp(these are deliberately left a little dull to enhance emulsification and smooth blending).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other blenders such as the Ninja Kitchen System blender and food processor combo models have a food processor attachment. The food processor pitcher attachments can easily fit on the motor base of the Ninja blender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smaller <a href=\"https:\/\/blendersguide.com\/use-nutribullet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blenders such as nutribullet<\/a> or Nutri Ninja are not too good to be used as food processors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Few immersion blenders have processor bowls where you can attach the motor part of the stick blender to use it for processing food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_a_food_processor_if_I_have_a_blender\"><\/span>Do I need a food processor if I have a blender?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It depends. If you regularly make food recipes that involve a large amount of chopping, mixing, or slicing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You would be needing a food processor because a blender can not handle large amounts of food to process in its container. If you are going to grate or chop in Vitamix for example, you can only have a handful of veggies per batch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will take time and effort to do multiple batches of food processing in a blender. So it will be better to have a food processor in that case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t need a food processor if most of your recipes need pastes, purees, dips and emulsified ingredients, or if you regularly make drinks and smoothies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A blender can cover all these along with small batches of most food processing tasks such as drop chopping or grating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you only need to process food say once a month, it&#8217;s not advised to have two different machines. A blender can cover most of your kitchen tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_Ninja_blender_be_used_as_a_food_processor\"><\/span>Can a Ninja blender be used as a food processor?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blendersguide.com\/ninja-blender-as-a-food-processor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ninja blenders are most suitable as food processors<\/a> for 2 main reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One, they are versatile. Most Ninja models such as Mega Kitchen and Kitchen System series have food processor pitchers along with regular blending containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two, the blade assembly of most Ninja blenders has stacked blades. They are sharp and act just like food processors to slice and chop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular Ninja blenders cannot knead well because they require plastic blade assemblies that come with food processing bowls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_okay_to_use_a_blender_instead_of_a_food_processor\"><\/span>Is it okay to use a blender instead of a food processor?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no harm in using a blender in place of a food processor. Blenders can do many tasks to overlap the functions of a food processor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food processing is not a heavy-duty task that could possibly damage a blender. The only thing you need to keep in mind is the nature of the ingredients you put in a blender to process it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all blenders are really good to be used as food processors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_use_any_blender_as_a_food_processor\"><\/span>Can you use any blender as a food processor?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not every blender is a good replacement for a food processor. Some blenders are good at one processing task. While others are intended to do another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, you will have to make sure to add the right ingredients in the right blender to obtain desired results. If you want sliced products, Ninja blenders are good at it. If you want to dice and chop, Vitamix is best for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_Vitamix_blender_be_used_as_a_food_processor\"><\/span>Can a Vitamix blender be used as a food processor?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, <a href=\"https:\/\/blendersguide.com\/vitamix-as-a-food-processor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vitamix is a great alternative to food processors<\/a>. Every Vitamix is good enough but if you get a fully loaded model with advanced features and auto presets, you will never need a processor or grinder in your kitchen. The Vitamix will work as a food processor and as a grinder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_my_Nutribullet_be_used_as_a_food_processor\"><\/span>Can my Nutribullet be used as a food processor?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not really, nutribullet personal blenders are not really good at processing food. The smaller size and blade design cannot handle dry ingredients for chopping or slicing. The large countertop models by nutribullet might be able to achieve some of the tasks, but the bullet blenders are not a replacement for food processors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_hand_blender_be_used_as_a_food_processor\"><\/span>Can a hand blender be used as a food processor?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hand blenders by themselves cannot work as a food processor. However, if you have an immersion blender from a good brand such as Braun you will get a food processor attachment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will have its own blade assembly and you will only need to attach the motor part of the hand blender to the processing bowl to turn the hand blender into a food processor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_use_a_low-grade_blender_in_place_of_a_food_processor\"><\/span>Can you use a low-grade blender in place of a food processor?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ninja blenders are cheaper and can be used as food processors. Low-grade blenders should be avoided in any way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_food_processor_also_be_used_as_a_blender\"><\/span>Can a food processor also be used as a blender?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main function of a blender is to smash ingredients into smaller chunks and mix them to have a consistent, well-mixed, smooth product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It could be smoothies where you mix a variety of ingredients to make a drink, it could be dips, pastes, or soups which are thicker products with a uniform texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A food processor cannot, unfortunately, achieve such emulsification, consistency and mixing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest reason for that is the design and the size of the blades and container. The blades of a food processor are sharper than the blender which does not smash ingredients to tear them down to make them the smoothest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The large pitchers do not let the ingredients get crushed and emulsified well, thus making it difficult to blend stuff well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_can_I_use_if_I_don%E2%80%99t_have_a_food_processor\"><\/span>What can I use if I don&#8217;t have a food processor?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry if you don&#8217;t have a food processor. There are alternative methods and machines to get the same products as a food processor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want chopped food, you can use a sharp knife and a cutting board. If you want to grate or shred cheese and veggies, you can use a shredding box and do it manually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to knead, you can use your hands. A blender can also be one of the best alternatives to food processors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doing these tasks with other than a food processor can take extra time, but you can do it fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_blender_be_used_as_a_food_processor_for_any_recipe\"><\/span>Can a blender be used as a food processor for any recipe?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Food processors are intended to do slicing, chopping, shredding, dicing and kneading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, if you want to perform these tasks in a blender, first you make sure the blender you have is capable of carrying out those functions in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_use_a_blender_instead_of_a_food_processor_for_Macarons\"><\/span>Can I use a blender instead of a food processor for Macarons?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The whipped egg is the primary component of the Macarons recipe. And you can whip eggs easily in a blender. So yes, you can use a blender in place of a food processor to whip eggs for Macarons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_use_a_blender_instead_of_a_food_processor_for_the_pastry\"><\/span>Can I use a blender instead of a food processor for the pastry?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to knead dough to make pastries or shortcrust. A blender, particularly a Vitamix blender can work best to knead pastry dough or pie dough. You don&#8217;t need a food processor anymore for making delicious pastries at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_use_a_blender_as_a_food_processor_for_salsa\"><\/span>Can you use a blender as a food processor for salsa?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Vitamix and Ninja blenders have proved to be the best machines besides food processors to make salsa recipes. Blenders make a thick and consistent end product with every ingredient of the salsa recipe well mixed in the creamy product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_use_a_blender_instead_of_a_food_processor_for_cauliflower\"><\/span>Can you use a blender instead of a food processor for cauliflower?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, blenders can chop cauliflower. The consistency of the cauliflower chopped in a blender could never match that of a food processor, but it is acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are a few better ways to use blenders to chop vegetables and get a perfectly processed end product similar just as a food processor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_possible_to_use_a_blender_instead_of_a_food_processor_for_the_dough\"><\/span>Is it possible to use a blender instead of a food processor for the dough?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A blender with a large pitcher can knead the dough.
