Food processors might not be the first appliance you get for your kitchen, but they could end up being some of your most used. Not only can they puree your favorite dips, but they can be used to seriously cut down on cooking time—especially if chopping is not your specialty. They also make a great baking companion specifically if you are super into pie—because who has time to cut up their own butter? Since there are a ton of options out there, it can difficult to find the right one for you, especially when shopping online.
To help you out, we have gathered up some of the best food processors that will help you breeze through the most delicious time of the year.
How to Choose a Food Processor
There are a few key components that you will want to look for in a food processor that will help determine if it is the right fit for you. Keep reading to see what to look for and how to find the food processor that will meet your needs!
Bowl Capacity: Most food processors are around the 10- to 12-cup max, which is more than enough for your average household. If you tend to cook a lot or have a very large family, you may wish to invest in a larger model—some of these span up to 15 cups. If you are a single person, you can opt for a smaller version, but note that the cup capacity usually refers to dry ingredients, and for wet ingredients, it will be less.
Blades: All food processors will come with at least one blade—generally an S blade, which is used for chopping and depending on how long you run the processor for, it will determine how fine of a chop you get. Some also come with dough hooks, slicing, and shredding disks, which can cost more, but help you get your use out of it.
Wattage: Finally consider the wattage of your food processor. This is super important because it determines how powerful your motor is. The more powerful it is, the larger batches it can handle, and the less you have to pre-prep your food.
How We Choose
To find the best options among the many food processors out there, we researched the most popular models available. We then took into account price, materials, durability, features, and capacity. Finally, we consulted more than 38,000 reviews, written by people who’ve bought these models on sites like Amazon, to settle on these eight.
