Food processors are versatile appliances that can perform a number of food preparation tasks. They're usually made with sharp blades that allow them to slice, chop, and knead ingredients quickly and efficiently. Some models come with additional attachments, making them even more versatile.
A food processor can reduce the time you spend preparing pastry or pizza dough. You can also use it to whip cream or make ice cream from bananas.
Most food processors have a blade that's either a slicing disc or a dough blade. Sliced produce or nuts can be processed using the slicing disc, while bread dough and biscuit dough can be processed with the dough blade.
