Food processor or immersion blender?

[Frozen Smoke]

Not sure what I should get or what I even need if anything. I have one of the original Ninja blenders with the 3 different size canisters for blending or chopping different amounts of whatever. Forget chopping or shredding in it because you can get more consistent sizing using a knife and my knife skills suck. It does a good job of making smoothies and fancy drinks which I don't do often. Too easy to open a bottle of my favorite brew. It does turn ice cubes into snow pretty well.

The Ninja has a little plastic bushing on the control head that is getting worn and making it hard to use so soon it will be shot altogether. I use it for blending marinades to the right consistency. But if I could find a food processor that slices and dices consistently as well as blend I'd consider it.

Then again I hate to drag a big food processor out and make it dirty just for a few pulses to make a marinade the right consistency. I probably don't need either one just having a indoor snow day surfing Amazon and got bit by the mcs bug!

Just get both. Problem solved.

Thought of that as you can get a immersion blender pretty cheap.

Aren't they blenders only? I'd like some slicing and dicing capabilities.

Pretty much can do some chopping. They are great blenders tho

I might be able to help you on the ninja, I have one I don't use, it may have been used twice if it helps you can probably have it.I would have to see if I can find all of it

Thanks for the offer customtrim but don't bother it's time for me to get something new. I'm thinking for what I do a immersion blender will do enough.

Maybe you should invest in a knife using class. Then you won’t suck, at knives anyways. Just tryin to help.

I agree. I got a new set of custom knives coming soon. Plenty of You Tube video's on knife skills to watch but don't forget I got the left handed affliction! Everybody cringes when I pick up a knife or scissors around here!

Immersion blender will do what you need and easy to clean as you can put it in the sink in a bowl of soapy water and run it, then finish washing it easily.

Make sure you get a cup the same size as the blender head so you can make your own homemade mayo also, definitely worth it.
