Food Processor And Mixer Grinder – Do we need both?

In a mixer grinder typically you will have one motor and then you will have three jars the one is a smaller jar for chutneys. The second is a slightly larger jar for somewhat dry ingredients or for larger quantities and the third is a juicer in the case of food processors. You will have a minimum of three to four jars and you will have about 10 to 15 attachments so requires a lot more space to store and the motor size is also a lot larger than a mixer grinder especially. If you also decide to pick up a combination of a food processor and a mixer grinder.

Alternatives :

Their alternatives are available for a mixer grinder or a food processor. So for a mixer grinder, you do get smaller devices like a nutribullet which you can use for smaller quantities or when you’re traveling you can use it for juices smoothies soups. It is extremely handy that you can carry it and easy to store as well there are no alternatives for all of the things that a food processor does but there are alternatives for vegetable cutters both in the manual as well as the electric format.

noise levels :

The noise levels both of these products have somewhat similar noise levels of 80 to 90 decibels which are reasonably loud in my opinion. But since you’re only running it for a small period of time it’s still okay. So what is the price difference now in the case of a mixer grinder you do get 500 and 750 watts in general. The 500 watts start at about 1500 rupees and the 750 watts start at around 2000 rupees. my recommendation is that you should go for at least a 750 watt if you are considering doing anything even a little bit intensive.

Price points :

now coming to a food processor it’s available at various different price points based on the types of attachments that you require. The most basic and compact ones are available from 4000 rupees and the advanced ones are available upwards of 6000 rupees.

Combo food processors and mixer grinders:

now there are a lot of combo food processors and mixer grinders in the market are they any good. So first of all what is a combo mixer grinder food processor in this case there are two separate motors in the same machine like i have shown on the screen. So one for your mixer grinder and one for your food processor now if you are starting afresh if you’re buying something new or if you’re replacing your existing mixer grinder you might want to consider this particular combo equipment.

If you were to go just with a food processor yes you can do some wet grinding capabilities. But it might take a lot longer because food processors are in general not meant for wet candy so what is my recommendation. There are a couple of aspects that you have to consider you can go for a mixer grinder alone if you satisfy any of these criteria. If you’re a smaller family two if you’re cooking in smaller quantities third if you’re cooking more frequently and fourth if you have less space right so a food processor takes a lot of space.

If you have less space then and you meet all of these criteria you go you can go for a mixer grinder in case you want assistance with your vegetable cutting you can go with a manual or an electric vegetable cutter which there are quite a few in the market. The only thing that you will miss is making dough or netting so for your atta for your bread dough pizza base or pie crust these are the things that you will.

Conclusion:

If those are definitely important for you then you might want to go for a food processor or a combo for a food processor and a mixer grinder now you should go for a food processor. if you satisfy these requirements one you’re part of a large family and you have to actually cook large quantities secondly. if you’re doing a lot of food prepping that is you do a lot of prepping like making butter or cutting vegetables and storing. It is for cooking in the future in which case then a food processor makes sense because you are cooking in larger quantities.

If you are starting afresh then you might want to consider a combination of a food processor and a mixer grinder where the motors are different for both of them that is an option as well I hope this clarifies all the questions that you had.
