What is the difference between a food processor and a blender - can i use a blender?!
Answers: to mix things like chicken mince etc - please explain the difference to me?
****You Can Used The Blender as below:
-The blender is best suited to working with liquids or already mushy solids.
-The blender is not very good for making small batches of food however. This is due to the size and shape of the basket.
-The blender is also good for chopping ice and due to its shape and oftentimes larger container, it might hold more than a food processor at first glance.
- Its key abilities are liquefying for smoothies, ice drinks, soups, and purees.
****In general, the blender will allow you to make very fine liquid purees; but may not work as well for pureeing up 3-4 carrots for example.
-More liquid involve
**** Food Processor
-The Food Processor is best suited to working with a wide variety of solid foods.
-The Food Processor will even grind up grains for making homemade baby cereals! Its great claim to fame is interchangeability!
- The food processor can puree, slice, dice, chop, shred and even knead dough if required! It has interchangeable disks for all sorts of different jobs!
-Typically, the food processor works at one speed only and thus, seems much slower than the blender.
-The food processor has blades that may rotate in different, allowing for the chop or the puree methods.
-Also, the food processor gives you greater control over the processing of foods due to the innate pulse action.
- Liquid amound as your required sometimes no liquid needed.
**** If you have to choose between the two, my vote goes to the food processor, because it is more versatile.
A food processor chops and purees food. A blender is better for soft foods and liquids. A food processor can handle solid foods, while a blender will have a difficult time trying to chop solid foods. A food processor also comes with a slicer and grater attachments; a blender does not.
food processor process the food and blender blends the food
The width of the chamber is the primary difference. A food processor is especially made for solid foods. A blender is meant for a more liquid concoction. You can use them interchangeably. I would not use the blender for hot product though.
for something like mincing chicken the motor of a blender and it's blades are not good enough. the food processor has a much stronger motor and blades designed for chopping. Softer and more liquid things are fine for the blender.
