Like we have already mentioned, it is very possible to create delicious smoothies if you follow the correct steps. Food processors are great for incorporating spices and flavoring ingredients into ground meat. It prevents you from having to incorporate them with your bare hands and whilst mixing, they also work the meat a bit to create a very pliable mixture.
When making spreads, food processors are great as you can adjust the consistency very easily. You can make delicious vegan spreads or plain old hummus.
Using a food processor to mash your potatoes will save you a ton of time and it also cleans up very easy. If you want to create a nice thick, chunky sauce, like an Italian tomato sauce, doing so in a food processor is ideal.
If you want a more liquidy and smooth sauce, use a blender. Creating pastry crusts, no matter how fine the crumbs, can only be done in a food processor. It prevents pulverizing the crumbs, for them to still bind.
Again, depending on the consistency you would like your jam to be, you can use a food processor to create beautiful chunky jams. You can also crush your fruit in the food processor before cooking it and refining it in a blender.
This is the best way to make scones in our opinion. The way the blades run through the flour and butter will ensure that the perfect crumb can form and create the perfect texture.
Rostis are usually made by grating potatoes, but that takes forever. Rather place potato chunks in a food processor and quickly allow the processor with the chopping or grating attachment to do its work. Be it pie dough or bread dough, or any other dough for that matter, making it in the food processor is quick and easy and takes all the hard work out of it.
We would not recommend making authentic doughs like this. However, if you are short on time and do not mind this shortcut, do it. If it is a thick, chunky batter, like a carrot cake batter, use the food processor to make for easy cleanup and mixing. Do not use the food processor for thin batters such as pancakes or crepes. We would recommend only using a food processor when making vegetable rice. It creates the perfect sized grains and takes tons of chopping out of the process.
There are tons of cookie recipes you can make using a food processor, especially if they involve crumbling other ingredients like Oreos or crackers. Butters require a long churning process. If your food processor scrapes the bottom of the container, I would recommend using it on a low-medium speed.
The blender will simply blend it smoothly without allowing it to churn. If you have a food processor with a chopping blade, definitely use it if you are not bothered by roughly chopped vegetables in your food.
It will save a lot of time. Again, this depends on the type of food processor you have, but if you have the correct blades, it is capable of shredding medium-hard cheeses and crumbling hard cheese.
Juices are perfect for a blender as you can just add any fruit or vegetable into it and allow the blender to do the rest. Like we have said, smoothies are usually made in blenders. And although they can be made in food processors, it is still much easier and quicker to make them in blenders. You get a very smooth, chunk free liquid that also pours easy. We love a good cocktail. Whenever you need to incorporate crushed ice, use a blender. Here's a breakdown of when to use your blender and when plugging in your food processor is a better choice:.
Best For: My food processor takes over when my knife just doesn't do the trick. When it's not critical that my ingredients are evenly cut, I like to chop vegetables like mushrooms, carrots or onions, for example, into tiny little bits by pulsing them in my food processor to use in soup or as a filler in meatloaf.
That's something that my blender would have a hard time with. And it has interchangeable blades-one for grating and even one for making dough for pies or pizza. But what I really like it for: frozen desserts. Turns out you don't need an ice cream maker to make a delicious frozen dessert. Good news for a gadget-phobe like myself. Chop up frozen fruit in your food processor and add a small amount of sugar or fruit juice to sweeten it up. Add some yogurt and you have instant frozen yogurt.
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and you have a healthy after-school treat. Not So Great For: Leave the liquids to the blender. Although a small amount of liquid is OK, the deceptively large bowl of the food processor cannot be filled to the top. Half-gallons of ice cream may need to sit for several more minutes to soften. Start with a ratio of about three parts ice cream to one part milk. After mixing, if your shake is too thick, add milk in small amounts until you achieve the consistency you want.
Substitute a Blender With These Four Kitchen Applicances Blenders are great for making milkshakes, but they aren't the only kitchen applicance that can get the job done. Food Processor: A powerful food processor may be designed to chop vegetables, but it can also make a creamy milkshake, even with ice cream that's frozen hard.
Make the shake with a food processor as you would in a blender, adding milk to thin out the shake as desired. Drink Mixer: A soda fountain machine specifically designed for milkshakes, the drink mixer churns out light, fluffy shakes and smoothies with an even consistency. As a bonus, you can also use it to beat eggs and thin batters.
Stick Blender: An immersion blender, otherwise known as a stick or hand blender, won't take up a lot of kitchen counter space but can make a shake just as effectively as a larger appliance.
Put all of your milkshake ingredients in a deep bowl or pan, insert the immersion blender and turn it on until your shake is thoroughly mixed. Electric Mixer: Many electric mixers are designed to handle heavy batters or to knead dough, so blending up the ingredients in a milkshake is no problem.
To prevent splattering while making a milkshake with a mixer, use a very deep bowl and mix only the ice cream until it's soft and aerated. Then stir or whip in the milk by hand.
