Ranking of the best food processors for home in 2019

Attention! A more up-to-date ranking of the best food processors can be explored here.

How to choose a food processor?

Household appliances are in a hurry to help people, and over the years they do it faster and more efficiently. Automated machines are designed to save the time and labor costs of a modern person, so that he wasted on something more important.

For example, cooking: a necessary process that takes a lot of time and effort. If a person or family wants to eat interesting, tasty and varied food, then they have to work hard. Peeling and cutting vegetables, grinding meat into minced meat, kneading dough, chopping food, mixing - these processes are laborious and require certain skills.

Fortunately, multifunctional devices that can perform most of the operations in food preparation have been invented a long time ago and are called food processors.

They differ in size, material and number of functions.

First of all, when buying a food processor in the kitchen, pay attention to the set of options and capabilities that the model is capable of performing. Next, look at the dimensions of the unit: is there a place in your kitchen for it. A harvester with great functionality usually has large dimensions. When you have decided on a set of functions and dimensions, select the material of the body and bowls. The better it is, the more expensive the model will be, but the more durable the bowls will be. And finally, be sure to select the required volumes of containers. Whether you will cook only for yourself once a week or it will be everyday cooking for a large family - the volume and capacity of the bowls depends on this.

What functions can a food processor have:

• cutting vegetables. Slices, cubes or straws;
• grater and shredder;
• mixer (blender). Mixing and whipping cocktails, batter, sauces, creams;
• meat grinder. Making minced meat from meat;
• juicer. Getting juice from fruits and even vegetables;
• chopper. Grinding sugar into powder, grinding coffee beans, etc .;
• press. Makes puree from vegetables and fruits;
• making mashed potatoes;
• kneading soft dough.

In size, the harvesters can be quite compact and collapsible, and then it will be easy to put them in the closet, taking them out only for the duration of work. Or they can be quite large, originally intended for constant presence on the kitchen table. This is a great option for those who constantly and a lot cook - then there is simply no point in removing the combine. So estimate in advance the capabilities of your kitchen and the frequency of use of the unit.

Bowl and container materials:

• plastic. Cheap material, but breaks down more often than cousins ​​from more expensive materials. A harvester with plastic containers is suitable for those who have a very limited purchase budget;
• glass. Stronger than plastic, but heavier.Models with glass containers will cost more than plastic ones;
• metal. The strongest and most durable containers, which will certainly affect the price of such a model.
