Best Food Processors for Chopping

first step up from a mini chopper and wow!.

i plan to grind beef with this machine since the chopper is supposed to be most similiar to hand chopping; it would be gross if the ground beef also leaked between the bowl and the blade onto the stem

i use it all the time and, liking it so much, subsequently purchased a kitchen aid mini-chopper as well.

also, many foods still need to be chopped in small pieces before processing.

not one of them chopped things as i would like - they either chopped unevenly or "pulverized" everything.

*it has a powerful motor; i've never had it stop or even sound like it's having trouble- i have put in four whole onions, and this processor finely chopped them in literally about 5 or 7 seconds.

also, the chopper/grinder blade processes all the food evenly (did a great job on carrots and onions...very few "uneven" pieces).

now i slice them in big mouth and put them in a sealed bowl in the fridge, when i need chopped onion i just pull out what i need and fine chop the slices.

after steaming them, i chopped each into about 1-2" pieces, placed them in the food processor and abra cadabra instant puree, soft and silken.

it has an extremely sharp chopping blade (grinds nuts to powder in less than 5 seconds, perfect for making homemade nut butters) and veggies take only a few pulses until they are chopped small.

i did it without the mayonnaise in the container and just added that after i chopped the chicken, walnuts, and celery.

so if you want "chopped" garlic, hit it once lightly.

yet, there are really two different kinds of food processors that've ruled the infomercial super highway, the ultimate chopper, and the magic bullet.

i then tried red pepper..which is hard to chop in a machine..and it did that too..and it chopped onions perfectly.

it joined my larger cuisinart processor and a very small black & decker chopper, neither of which i use nearly as much as i do this one.

i made chicken pot pie last night, and mixed the dough, shredded the chicken, and chopped the onions with this little bad boy.

chopped onions, garlic, zucchini, carrots

if you try to make too much of something then it will just pulverize what ever is on the bottom and leave the top unchopped or barely chopped.
