I use mine all the time. Really nice to blend soups, make simple smoothies, and more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1532401 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 12:29:19 +0000 Katrocap 1532401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@happygal: Thanks for the tip about an immersion blender. I'm definitely going to look into that!</p> <p>@beachbee: I don't have a Costco membership, but thanks for the suggestion!</p> <p>@yoursilverlining: @mrs.bird: Thanks for your recommendations. Both of your food processors are more than I was hoping to spend, but I might have to pay that much if I want a good quality appliance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1532332 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 11:23:11 +0000 mrs. bird 1532332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have this one from cuisinart, not cheap, but it's great.

I got it a few years before LO arrived, and used it to make all of her purées when she started solids. We use it a lot and it takes up minimal space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1532207 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 09:42:41 +0000 Happygal 1532207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Cuisinart classic one--must have been recommended by Cook's Illustrated b/c they're my go to resource!</p> <p>Honestly though, based on what you want to use it for, I would try out a good immersion blender first. I use that much more than my food processor, and it's so much easier to clean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-processor-recommendations#post-1532179 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 09:27:04 +0000 Katrocap 1532179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never used a food processor before and would like to get one. DS is 14 months and doesn't eat fruits/veggies, but he loves yogurt, so I'm thinking of pureeing fruits/veggies to mix in his yogurt. Any recommendations for an affordable food processor? </p>
