01.Introduction
10 food processors on test, priced from $40 to $649
A food processor can slice, dice, chop, shred, grate, zest, mash, purée, mix, knead, grind and emulsify. And while it’s true all these things can be done with a chopping board and knife or a grater, hand whisk and so on, processors are much quicker.
Most we tested have a large capacity, so bulk preparation is the key – process extra and freeze for later. Our What to buy list also includes a mini processor option if bulk is not your priority.
