does the processor just chop or will it puree as well?

The food processor is perfect for mincing and chopping. We have not tested the product to be used for pureeing food.

It has one blade inside the pureer. I purchased it for that exact reason. My son is now 9 mos and no longer eating purees but for mos 4-8 this was what I used to make his food and it worked great

Not good. If you put more than a half cup of anything in this processor, it won't chop it. You have to keep pulling out the big pieces, emptying what little was grated and then add more. It's the worst one I've ever had.

The faster speed does puree the food to a smoother texture, while the other leave some chunks in it but it all depends on how long you keep the knob turned. I didnt cut anything if i steamed it first, if i didnt steam then yes i chopped. It will puree ANYTHING

Beware, it is not really 'stir'. It will still 'blend', slowly blend, but much much faster than what 'stir' normally means, meaning it will chop everything up.

This is a great chopper for uncooked veggies. Do bear in mind that it chops these foods into small chunks and the more times you pull the string the finer the chunks become. If you are wanting a shred or thin slices like for scalloped potatoes, etc., this is not the right machine. But if you're looking for "chopped", this is the one.

It neither slices, dices nor shreds. It's only a high speed food chopper. Also, no discs are available. It is what is, not a food processor in the real sense.

It certainly will not puree any foods, but the more you chop, the finer the food will get. The smallest chop I usually get to is about relish size. The salad would have to be very crisp to chop that fine. For example, the hollow stalks from green onions do not chop near as well as the thick white parts. Buy it and try it. You will love it either way.

Yes..it will...not uniformly but it will chop and if not careful, pulverize it.

In a word, yes. Puree tutorial at the following link, if you need it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6PH6KZ83Lw

I've only used it to cook fruits and veggies. For meats I would boil on the stove, then use the Cook and Blend to puree.

No, it comes with a chopping blade and a shredding, dicing, slicing plate blade. but you can do dough in it with the regular chopping blade that comes with it. The chopping blade chops, purees and mixes dough as well. Works great for pie crust doughs!

As the name implies it's a food chopper. It chops. Does not not slice, dice, grate, or make pretty shapes.

I believe this would work to make puree out of fruits and veggies ... it's just a smaller food processor as opposed to a larger one ...

It will not dice, it will do a an uneven chop to a puree. This machine is great for baby food, home made salad dressings. Because of well the oils blend slowly there is no separation between liquids.

It does chop veggies - but it does a better job mincing them, like Harlan Harris says. I used it to "chop" celery, carrots, tomato, bell pepper, cauliflower, and broccoli with ease! Softer things like tomatoes don't do too well in there - it turns out like a puree.

If you can cut it with a butter knife, you can chop it with this. Its not like an electric food processor by any stretch. I only use it for very very very soft foods. Not too versatile whatsoever. I recommend good knife or an electric food processor. It's good for salsa and sauces.
