Ranking of the best food processors in 2020

Yesterday, the latest kitchen appliances were considered a luxury item, today they are everyday, but irreplaceable helpers for every housewife. Household appliances greatly simplify the cooking process. With their development, new opportunities appear, but the place disappears. Numerous adaptations are being replaced by universal appliances - food processors. The rating of the best food processors in 2020, indicating the technical characteristics, prices, advantages and disadvantages, will help to choose a worthy model according to individual requirements and capabilities.

Food processor and its application

A food processor is an electromechanical device that performs a number of functions for preparing food. Thanks to its high power, perfect mechanism and unlimited possibilities, the machine began to be used in conditions not only in a professional kitchen.

Handmills and meat grinders produced in 1919 are considered to be the predecessor devices. However, most food processor models today have nothing to do with the beginning of their history.

The versatility of the household appliance allows:

1. Grate vegetables and fruits quickly.
2. Peel and process food.
3. Shred or cut into cubes, slices, strips, slices.
4. Grind meat, fish into minced meat; nuts and grains into flour.
5. Knead the dough, beat the cream, make fillings and sauces.
6. Bring fruits, berries, vegetables to a puree state.
7. Squeeze juice, smoothies at the maximum pace without additional action.

The main task of the appliance is to shorten the cooking time and keep kitchen chores to a minimum. Combining a mixer, juicer, blender, slicer, grater, peeler, meat grinder, one large food processor takes up less space in the kitchen than several other tools. The device is convenient and safe to use.

What is the difference between a blender and a food processor

Both devices are equally capable of grinding and mixing. Often, instead of a food processor, they buy a blender, which is much cheaper than the first, and soon they are disappointed. Because the blender has only a couple of options: chop various products, mix to a liquid consistency and whip into a paste. Moreover, the manufacturers of some models do not even recommend whipping eggs or kneading the dough, since the functionality of the device is designed in such a way that it can spoil the structure of the future product. The blender is ideal for making cocktails, vegetable, fruit and meat purees, chopping solid foods.

A food processor is a powerful multipurpose unit in the kitchen with attachments, containers, knives, discs, graters and other devices. The appliance includes the functions of a blender, but only as a small part of its basic capabilities. The blender is distinguished by a fairly simple design and packaging.

Recommendations: how to choose a food processor

Whether to buy a food processor - this question arises from almost every housewife. Regardless of the culinary abilities and taste preferences of the family, you still have to feed the household several times a day. Pamper them with delicious and varied dishes, while saving time and energy, perhaps with the acquisition of the right kitchen equipment.

Which one is better to buy: a compact one with a typical set of actions or a multifunctional but large-scale food processor, depends on the financial situation. The more powerful models, which include large bowls and optional equipment, cost significantly more than the standard and lower power models. The purpose of use will help to understand this case. If every day you have to cut, peel, whisk, and the like, then a good household appliance will greatly facilitate the preparation of dishes and will last longer. Budget options are great for infrequent use. It is necessary to focus on the following selection criteria:

• rotational speed;

Speed ​​parameters affect processing speed and quality. For a certain product, the optimal rotation mode is set: you cannot grind nuts if the device does not have the appropriate speed level.

• bowl volume and quality:

Usually the bowl is made of stainless steel, other metal, glass or plastic. The latter quickly absorbs odors, glass is fragile, so combines using these materials are cheaper.

• control system - mechanical or touch:

Electronics automatically adjusts the required mode, but it costs more than manual control.

• functional:

A large unit with a variety of functions takes up decent space in the kitchen, and most of the attachments remain unused. The device should be chosen taking into account the need for some components, on which the price of the goods depends.
