Whats the difference between a food processor and a blender? Do I need both?
Blenders and food processors do similar things, but you may still want to have both depending on how much you cook. It may not be necessary for you to buy an electric food processor at all; you might only need a hand-powered chopper to quickly process nuts, garlic, herbs or other small jobs. If you like to make your own salsa or you process a lot of vegetables in your cooking on a regular basis, a food processor is worth buying in addition to a blender for making drinks, smoothies and soups. Some multipurpose blenders even come with a separate food processor attachment, so you can use the same motor base for both things.
