BEST 3 Food Processors To Make Meal Prep Easier
A good food processor makes kitchen prep and cooking an enjoyable experience. Consider a food processor your sous chef, helping you with the tasks that often slow you down.
Smaller models can chop, grind, and blend making it a breeze to create salad dressings and salsas while larger machines excel at shredding blocks of cheese or kneading bread dough.
On the flip side, lower quality machines can deflate even the most enthusiastic cook, as dull blades can mangle fresh produce and weak motors can’t process large volumes of food.
To find a food processor that fits your specific needs, it’s important to do your research before buying.
Keep reading for my picks of the 3 best food processors.
The Breville Sous Chef 12
It excels at pureeing soups and mixing batters. Plus, it has an adjustable slicing disc perfect for cutting vegetables paper-thin (0.3 mm) or into larger slices for crudite platters.
Three feed chutes make it possible to add foods of varying shapes and sizes, meaning the machine can handle both long and oddly shaped foods that might be challenging for other models.
This processor also includes a safety feature that stops the blade if the lid opens, which is great, especially if little hands are nearby.
Hamilton Beach 10-Cup Food Processor with Bowl Scraper
This processor comes with a built-in bowl scraper, which means no more stopping mid-process to clean off the sides of the bowl. It’s also available with a spiralizer for making noodles or sweet potato noodles instead of the scraper.
The food processor offers two speeds, along with a pulsing option. And cleaning is a breeze, because the bowl, lid, and blades are all dishwasher-safe.
However, some reviewers point out that the lid doesn’t create a perfect seal so pulse liquids with caution.
Cuisinart Elemental 13 Cup Food Processor with Dicing
While it doesn’t offer as powerful of a motor as others on this list, the Cuisinart Elemental 13 Cup Food Processor is capable of handling most day-to-day jobs in the kitchen.
In addition to multiple blades and disks, the machine comes with both a large and a small work bowl, allowing for greater versatility. As a bonus, the processor includes a handy storage case.
To find the one that best fits your needs, you’ll want to consider how you plan on using it, as well as your budget.
While it’s a bit of an investment, adding a food processor to your kitchen equipment will make it even easier to meal prep. Have you used a food processor before and if so let me know in the comments your favorite one.
