8/24/2023 0 Comments Food processor vs blender reddit![]() However, the immersion blender is SUPER QUICK to use and clean compared to the other two, so it is a tradeoff. Doing it by hand takes a long time, and you can't do anything else in parallel.Īn immersion blender is the most expendable of those, as you can do everything you want with the other two. You can make bread without one for sure, but if you are doing a lot of baking, or doing larger recipes, it's pretty crucial as well. The tool I'd have thought of is a stand mixer. No idea why you'd think to use a food processor for bread. If you are doing a serious amount of prep and cooking, they are primary tools. I don't think a blender or food processor count as "supplementary". I've never seen or heard of any regular person using one of those routinely.Įspecially when it comes to supplementary tools like electronic ones If nothing electronic works, you probably have bigger problems than not being able to make a fresh nut butter. I just purchased a mortar and pestle in case my electronics don’t ever work You can do all of it with either, but they’ll be much more effective using the correct tool Same goes for soups.įood processor, think chopping, doughs, grating, butters, etc.īlender, think sauces, soups, smoothies, shakes, etc. I use mine for sauces, but the sauces are noticeably less smooth than the ones I pull the Vitamix out for. ![]() ![]() Immersion blenders are great, but will lack the power of a full size blender. I prefer a food processor for most of those tasks because of the wider bowl.īut for an enchilada sauce? For getting a tomato sauce smooth? For silky smooth smoothies? You need a blender. I’ve done all of those in both a blender or a food processor. They can mostly be used interchangeably, but you’ll never be able to grate food with a blender, and you’ll never be able to liquefy anything with a food processor.īut you can make hummus with a blender or a food processor. Food processors and blenders serve very different purposes. I do want to be able to make my own nut butters, ice creams, smoothies, shakes, and ice cream, but something like the Vitamix One or ninja doesn’t seem so durable, while the bigger, clunkier versions of cut I’d obviously are well suited, but they’re big.ĭon’t listen to what people are saying. What doubly suggest? Also, what sizes of each tool would you recommend? I figure for the days I’m in a rush or need to cook/meal prep quickly the electronics come in hand. ![]() My concern with having just the mortar and pestle is how much time it’ll take to cook and prep say sofrito, pesto and other sauces, bases and pastes by hand. I only like to have what I need, especially when it comes to supplementary tools like electronic ones. The thing with me is that I have limited space which is why I’m picky with what I purchase. I do also plan to make bread, but I think I can get away without needing a Food Processor for that. Im also an explorative eater and cooker who enjoys mainly Latin dishes, Mediterranean (including Italian and Spanish) cuisine, and asian down to south asian dishes. I also make a lot of Latin American Sofrito since I’m Caribbean Latino. I love pesto and plan to make pesto often. That said, I’m not sure if I should get next a blender, food processor, or immersion blender. I just purchased a mortar and pestle in case my electronics don’t ever work, and for the occasions that I wanna make sauces, pastes, etc by hand.
