Can You Get A Food Processor and Blender In One?

Why purchase 2 separate appliances when you can get the benefit of both a blender and a mixer in the one appliance? In a point in time when most people are looking to economize and make smarter investments, opting for a dual-purpose appliance is a smart choice. Not only will you economize; you will save space. And, you will likely use this product more than if you purchased them individually.
The base features a seven-speed touchpad control for turning the machine on and off, pulsing, stirring, chopping, mixing, pureeing, food processing and crushing ice. The base also includes convenient push-in rope storage capability. The appliance is easy to scrub also because all the removable parts are dishwasher safe.
A combo food processor/blender is so versatile that you could use it to prepare a whole meal. To show this, we will use recipes courtesy of Cuisinart.com. For a dinner, you could prepare Butternut squish Soup with Leeks, Asian Slaw with Peanut Dressing and a Go Green Smoothie. And, with a name like Cuisinart you know that this appliance will be a part of your kitchen arms depot for years to come.
Ingredients :
Add the leeks and heartbeat to chop, about ten pulses.
When the olive oil is hot, mix in the chopped leeks and garlic. Sweat the plants over medium low heat in order that they become soft. Stir occasionally in order that they don’t pick up any color.
While the leeks are cooking, replace the slicing blade with the slicing disc assembly. Cut the crush.
Add the pepper and salt. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Add the chicken broth and nutmeg. Bring soup to a low boil. Reduce heat and let cook until squash is terribly soft and is easily pierced with a knife, about twenty minutes.
Strain the solids from the cooking liquid, reserving the cooking liquid. Transfer 1/2 the cooking liquid to a clean pot and reserve. Insert the metal blade. In 2 batches, add the solids to the mixer and process to pure, 2 to three mins. Scrape the work bowl to insure the mixture is homogenous. Return the pured solids to the cooking liquid and stir to incorporate. Add the lemon juice. Mix in reserved cooking liquid to get desired consistency.
