Can I mix the following items with a blender or hand mixer effectively? (calls for food processor)?

Question

Dont have food processor. Ing to mix: grated cheese, almonds, butter, flour, salt, cornflakes cereal.

Answer 1

Food proc required to chop almonds
So, blender should work
you may need to work it down with a spatula

Answer 2

Yes and no. Is the intent to mash up the cornflakes and the almonds? (You didn't say what blade it said to use in the food processor). Then the cornflakes and almonds should be mashed and chopped finely before using the hand mixer.

If the food processor blade is just to mix the ingredients, then mix everything but the almonds and cerieal and add these 2 items by hand at the end and stir them in.

A blender just generally doesn't work as well for large batches. I'd use a hand mixer.

Answer 3

The almonds will not do well in the blender or hand mixer. You can smash the almonds on a cutting board with a meat tenderizer then add the almonds to the blender. Do not use the hand mixer on the cornflakes or grated cheese.

Answer 4

If it calls for a food processor, next best thing is a blender. If calling for a food processor, it must be asking for these items to be crushed and blended, maybe into a fine crumb mixture.

You might want to blend them individually or blend just the dry ingredients into whatever texture the recipe indicates then mix in the butter using a hand mixer.

If you were anxious that the blender might be too powerful for the dry ingredients, put the, ingredients in a ziploc bag, get as much air out of it as possible, then roll over with a rolling pin or other hard object to crush.

Answer 5

I would use my hands instead, a blender will smash stuff too small, a hand blender will clog and stick, chop the almonds first, mix the butter and flour add in the cornflakes and almonds and then the cheese.

Answer 6

in case you do not have a foodstuff processor, i'd advise pulsing it in a blender, as a foodstuff processor fairly breaks up besides as mixes although you put in it; an electric powered mixer will in basic terms integrate those finished components jointly and could no longer supply you the needed outcomes.

Answer 7

I think a blender will do. A food processor just has a bigger blade so it will work faster. I would make sure it mixes well and chops everything up nicely. You might have it pulse it a push the mix back toward the blade but it should work, right.

Answer 8

Not enough liquid for a blender you would probably burn the motor out. chop and or crush almonds and cornflakes then mix by hand.
Builds muscles.

Answer 9

I think you would have a hard time with a blender. Try a hand mixer but buy slivered almonds.

Answer 10

A hand mixer would work better than a blender. A blender would turn everything to dust. You can control a hand mixer better.

What are you making? (I am nosy)

Good luck.
