Reply to comment by CarriageTrail in Food processor, not too big by blaze1234

Fantastic!!

My main "need" atm is chopping/dicing celery, bell peppers, carrot & onion

I make 2-3 gallons of soup/curry/stew/sauce at a time, family meal prep

So maybe a half gallon's worth of chopped veg to start, the size dicing can be rough or even julienne

Think it would work for that?

I never liked how the food processor handled things like that. It’s better for when you want things chopped really small or blended. I use my 3 cup cuisinart chopper a lot for making sauces, pesto, baking related things. When I had a big one the only time I used it is for pastry dough and I actually prefer making it with a handheld pastry blender.

Chopping vegetables for that much soup shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes if you aren’t particularly fast. Taking out, assembling, using, disassembling, washing, and putting away the food processor is just as long.

Thanks for that info / opinion.

My kids are very involved in the process, so hoping that gadgetry will help overcome their reluctance

They've been handling sharp knives since 6-7 y.o. also cooking aline over an open campfire, so yes I trust them
