A Food Processor is the most sought after appliance in the modern kitchen today due to its multifunctional nature. It can slice, dice, grate, chop, grind, blend and knead thus replacing a number of gadgets in your kitchen and perhaps this is its best selling point.
While choosing, there are two important things to consider: your preference of the model and of course, your budget. Since a food processor can be used for many culinary tasks, you first have to determine what you intend to use the food processor for. Based on this, you will be able to take a decision on the features, type of blades and the size of the bowl that will suit your kitchen needs.
