If you had to choose, would you buy a blender or a food processor?

Question

Aren't they basically the same thing? Can you make a smoothie in a food processor?

Answer 1

A blender is primarily for liquids like smoothies and iced drinks. A food processor is for solid foods. I don't think a food processor would make a good smoothie because of the centrifrugal force it exerts. It depends entirely upon your needs and intentions.

Answer 2

Food Processor

Answer 3

A food processor of course. You can cut veggies like for cole slaw but cant with a blender. Blender has more rpm's but can do a heck of a lot more with a food processor than a blender but the processor can do everything that a blender does.....hope this helps

Answer 4

I prefer all 3 of my food processors to the blender.

Answer 5

I just bought a Cuisinart product that comes with a blender jar AND a food processor attachment. The food processor bowl isn't that large, but I only cook for myself, so its fine for me.

I've found it to be very useful and it hasn't let me down yet.

The best of both worlds.

Answer 6

I would get the new food processor that has a blender attachment.

Answer 7

No, you cannot make a smoothie in a food producer, a blender is more useful.

Answer 8

Mt food processor has a blender attachment,

Answer 9

Food processor. Yes you can make a smoothie in one. A processor is more versatile.

Answer 10

The food processor. It has attachments that can blend drinks and the cheese grater function makes it the coolest appliance in my kitchen. Saves a TON of time grating cheese or potatoes.
