food processor

Underpowered food processors are nothing new. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing in the context of this thread! I've been burning out blender and FP motors for 30 years making soymilk, tofu, and hummus. In the world of grinding appliances, anyway, it's definitely worth the money to get a more powerful motor, all-metal drive parts, and easy-to-find replacement blades. I think the cheap ones are mainly made for pesto and margaritas and you're really not expected to use them for anything else.

I've always drawn the line well before a Vita-Mix, although now that they come only with plastic jars, I kind of wish I'd bought one back when the jars were stainless steel...
