BLENDER OR KITCHEN COMBINE - what is the difference between a blender and a food processor, reviews

Grind, mix, beat, grind - the blender copes with this with a bang. It froths up the cocktail and makes airy mashed potatoes in minutes. And the effort for this is nothing: put on the attachment and press the button.

Advantages:

• compact, there is a place for it in any kitchen;
• easy to clean the nozzle.

Disadvantages:

• designed to work with small portions of food;
• overheats quickly.

There are two types of blenders. They have different tasks:

• stationary - with a volumetric jug on the body. Inside it is an electric motor. Best for smoothies, fresh whole fruit juices, and cream soups. There are three programs for this: cocktail, soup and ice pick mode.

• submersible (manual) - in the form of a plastic or metal "leg" with a nozzle. It is ideal for making sauces and purees directly in the saucepan.

In universal models, the combined functionality of two types of device.

What a food processor can do

A food processor is a hard worker in the kitchen. He chops, rubs, slices, crumbles, squeezes, kneads, whips and grinds. And all this in large quantities.

There are two types:

• professional with more power, bulky bowl and stainless steel materials. This mixes planetary: a whisk, spatula or other nozzle moves in a circle inside the bowl, and does not stand still, as in classic models. This is good because it mixes quickly and evenly. And bad, because such a device is expensive;
• In the household processor, the blender materials are made of plastic and glass. It is not so powerful, much cheaper, but it copes with the tasks perfectly.

Advantages:

• replaces many devices;
• works quickly and thoroughly.

Disadvantages:

• takes up a lot of storage space due to the large number of attachments;
• you need to understand the instructions in order to know the purpose of the attachments.

He's close at hand».
