Electric Food Processors

My pie crust recipe calls for you to use a food processor, to blend everything
can i use a blender?
or eletric mixer?

my recipe calls for a food processor to combine flour & butter/shortning together. I don’t own one. Can I use a mixer or should I hand mix? If hand mix, how?

I’m getting rather confused. Went from liking Mandoline Slicers to not really liking them. I think a food processor would be IDEAL (one that is good with shredded cheese quickly & potatoes for homefries). Anyway, I was looking online here and saw something abt shredders/slicers? I think but not totally sure that those attach to a regular standard mixer? I might have one of those stored in the attic somewhere, never used so I have to go look but is that what they are or are they separate?

And what is best out of these 3….Mandoline Slicer, Food Processor or Shredder/Slicer thing?

Thanks.
And I know there’s other brands besides Kitchen Aid
I would like to make thin french fries, thin zucchini slices (I call it zucchini spaghetti; then I just cook it with olive oil & garlic, etc. I hand sliced one once. NOT again! Took WAY too long).

Also would like to make homefries.

Would like to shred cheese to make my own mac & cheese. I have a little chopper. I also have the magic bullet but I was thinking something more powerful, like a processor. My Bullet doesn’t do cheese all that well. And whatever else I can think of.

Is it ok to use aluminum foil over a cookie sheet or will that screw it up? My cookie sheet is kind of old / dirty.

I don’t have a mixer, but I have a food processor…to whip the butter and combine all the ingrediants, can I use a food processor with the plastic blade?

Thanks
winter – you’re talking about a microwave.

I just became a Raw Vegan and I need some help. I really need some fast, easy to do, healthy, low cost recipes. As for appliances I have a blender, a food processor and, a mixer.

I have heard and this has also been my experience as well that fruit that is sweet like watermelon, mangos, pineapples
and bananas are a few examples that cause a person with
low blood to rise. I have asked people this question and have
not gotten an answer yet. I do not want my blood to rise so how
can I make this diet work for me? Please help! I also have a
Vita mixer 3 horse power blender, and I just bought a food
processor so I do want this to work but I am concerned about all the sweet fruits that the raw food people talk about so much.
I do not want to be hungary.
apprecite your help and concern

We need to purchase a food processor but we can not afford an expensive high quality item at this time.

Specifically I want to make Humus. The beans seem to be quite hard. The last time I made it, it burnt up my blender. I dumped them straight from the can (rinsed) and it took quite a bit for the initial puree and I had difficulty mantaining cavitation until the puree was very smooth.

Will an inexpensive hand held blender/mixer do the job? Will I get more than three uses out of it? How much should I plan to spend for a cheapy that I can use more than once? .00? .00? Will boiling the beans to a sweet pea consistency help?

I liked What we made with light garlic and heavy roasted red peppers. Any other single ingredients that taste good?

Thanks
