food processor

Countertop blade appliance

A food processor is a kitchen appliance with interchangeable blades that chop, slice, shred, or purée foods.

Unlike a blender, which handles liquids, a food processor excels at solid ingredients: The food processor made quick work of the onions.

It's indispensable for tasks like making pie dough, hummus, or pesto.
