Would this work well as a food processor? For example, to chop crackers, pretzels, etc.

I use it to chop nuts and make breadcrumbs. It doesn't actually do what a food processor does, though, in that it won't give you nice slices of fruits, etc. Also, I would not tend to run it dry for long periods, but maybe that is not actually a problem, and is just my conception.

Yes to all of the above. But one must remember, it is nit a food processor. It doesn't provide the space so it is easy to over process so you need to start with short pulses. This is one of your better by far blenders.

Hello Ashley B. As I am wheat free, I have never tried the blender for that purpose. A food processor would definitely be better, but this blender has a fairly wide base, so it would likely work fine. Sorry, I can't be of better help. Good luck.

I think so, depending upon what you're chopping. I mainly use the blender for smoothies. Sor far great. It chops strawberries very good.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. I haven't tried it as I have a food Processor and mini processor so haven't needed to use it in that way.. It crushes ice very well so should..

I haven't tried chopping any of those items, but I would guess it would work just fine. The blades are quite sharp and I've had no problems chopping large chunks of onion with mine.

I've never used it for that purpose, but don' t think it will work. I primarily use it for slicing.

I doubt it very much. You would need something with a motor, most likely (blender. food processor)

I wouldn't think so - it is HUGE and I don't think it would be agile enough for that. It works really well for carving meat into really thin slices.

Yes, it would work well for that. The only thing it doesn't seem to run is a microwave.

You probably could. It does not have a smooth surface, but no problem chopping on it.

Maybe... I've used a similar food processor to mix bread dough, but if you plan to do that often, I would recommend something more like a Kitchen Aid mixer.

I think it would work for that. I use mine for dusting powdered sugar on french toast, etc.

I doubt it would be suitable for that purpose. I think the pressure of the auger would mash the dried fruit through plates instead of grinding it. I feel a food chopper of some sort would be a lot better. Good luck, Old man

I don't think this food processor is a good fit for using it to mix cookie dough simply because it doesn't have the blades very close to the bottom of the container you are likely to have partially mixed cookie dough with flour & other small remnants left over on the bottom. I haven't tried using this machine for this particular activity but for chopping I have some not so fine pieces of food that sometimes needs a hands on approach to remedy the situation.Hope this helps :-)

I have never tried it for this, but it appears it would work the slicer is mostly made for vegetables. If you use it for this purpose It may work, but the lifespan of the equipment would be shorter.

I use it to chop vegetables for soups mostly. I have also used it to make hashbrowns out of my potatoes.

It's a food processor, so no to the fries. However you could do potato chip slices or wavy.

I wouldn't recommend it as the blade isn't heavy enough. Nowhere in their advertisements or instruction book does it have a recommendation to chop ice. You will only shorten the life of the machine if you use it for other than it was designed for.

I think you could - just remember to follow the instructions on how long the spurts of chopping should be. But I would use this for the chopping and then to puree I would use one of the hand blenders - that would make it really smooth.

I don't really know. I'm guessing this won't work but if you have another recipe you can use the nuts for, in case it doesn't make peanut butter, I'd say go for it. I do bet a good food processor might give you something akin to peanut butter, however.Perhaps there are attachments for this machine that will do that; just don't know.
