…to grind up almonds? I understand how to use it to shred things like carrots (just feed them through the top part) but how do I grind things up? Is there an attachment? Isn’t there supposed to be some pulse button or something? What do I do??? Please help!
(These kitchen appliances are a mystery to me…)
I have noticed now that a lot of places are selling the Cuisinart blender with a food processor top that comes with it. So you can either change it to the blender or the food processor, only by changing the container, and you still keep the same base. Is there something like that, that I can just add on or buy, since i already have the actual blender?
For example: http://cgi.ebay.com/Cuisinart-CB-600FP-BLACK-DUET-Blender-Food-Processor_W0QQitemZ330271598771QQcmdZViewItemQQptZSmall_Kitchen_Appliances_US?hash=item330271598771&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318
This has both and I only need the additional food processor, but I have the base.
Any ideas?
I am a recent college grad trying to minimize the cost of me acquiring basic kitchen appliances. I got a good quality multi-cooker (.97) and a dehydrator (.36). A new food processor would cost me .99 + shipping.
I wanted to know if I should get a blender also or if the food processor is good enough to do anything a blender would do also. I want to minimize cost as well as space, so I’m not sure if I really need a blender or not. I have no experience with food processors. Will they blend as well as a blender does?
For those who don’t know, a multi-cooker works as just that. It’s a crock pot/slow cooker, rice cooker and deep fryer. The cost of buying each of these separately could easily top 0. I think a device that costs just and does it all is a great deal.
I’m using the dehydrator for long-term food storage. Planning to buy meat and vegetables in bulk during clearances and dry them out. I’m also going to dry out the herbs, mint, and tea leaves that I grow on my porch and balcony. It’s about , but should pay for itself eventually.
The blender or food processor or combo is meant for making shakes, chopping, slicing, etc. So, my goal is to find something that will do it all. I drink a lot of smoothies and do a lot of dicing and chopping and want the cheapest trade-off with time, space and cost-effectiveness.
My goal is not to spend more than 0 total in kitchen appliances.
