Mini Food Processor

Donna Pilato

What it Does:

The mini food processor is the small size version of a large food processor. It has less functionality, but it's great for small jobs.

Problem it Solves:

Don't like chopping garlic or onions, but don't want to dirt your large food processor and all of its parts? Then a mini food processor is the tool you need. Plus, it's great for handling other small jobs such as grinding nuts, making pastes, mixing sauces, and chopping herbs.

Why I Love It:

This tool is a fairly recent addition to my kitchen, but it has quickly become a favorite. All of the little jobs it does, I used to hesitate pulling out my large processor to handle. With a mini food processor, there's much less clean up and hassle.

Best Kitchen Uses:

It makes short work of all those little prep jobs in the kitchen. Onions are obvious, but I often use it to make sauces and chopped toppings. Compare Prices
