dehydrators, blenders, food processors questions

Date: September 20, 2011 03:21AM I want to buy a dehydrator and a food processor or blender that can do some of the things food processors do. I can't afford super expensive things such as Vitamix or Blendtec. What do you recommend? Re: dehydrators, blenders, food processors questions

Date: September 20, 2011 04:35PM I just bought this Krups mini-processor, but it didn't arrive yet. I like the emulsifying function --
[www.amazon.com] They also make a 3-cup mini-processor that I want to get if I like this smaller one. Otherwise, I'll either get the Cuisanart [www.amazon.com] or KitchenAid [www.amazon.com] Although, whenever I want to buy something and then read the negative reviews, I decide it's not good; but everything always has some negative reviews, so it's difficult.

Date: September 20, 2011 08:04PM I have a breville juicer which was $100. I eat the pulp after sometimes. I want to move back to asia one day so buying an expensive vitamix might break, get stolen, and I don't know if I could put the blades in my suitcases and take the rest as carry-on. If you can't afford much, don't buy a cheap $40 juicer because they break and you'll waste money:/ My video to keep me inspired on my health quest: [www.youtube.com] Re: dehydrators, blenders, food processors questions

Date: September 20, 2011 11:31PM I got the Krups today and tried it out. I made a pie crust out of macadamia nuts, dates and coconut nector. And I pureed some corn kernels. It worked great. Tomorrow I'm going to try out the emulsifier. I also want to try some frozen banana pieces in it because that's what broke my old Ultimate Chopper. Does anyone else use a food processor to make banana ice cream? Re: dehydrators, blenders, food processors questions

Date: September 25, 2011 12:31PM What do you mean that the 'results have been disastrous so far'? Did you try the frozen bananas in the Blendtec? I have a Blendtec, also. I'm scared to try my new Krups because I'm afraid I'll break it, so I'm going to search the banana ice cream recipe online and see if I can find out what they all use for processing it - besides the Champion.
When you use your Cuisinart, do you just run it continuously for a few minutes or pulse it? Re: dehydrators, blenders, food processors questions

Date: September 26, 2011 02:12AM Since my food processor broke down (and I am not really that big on having a bunch of clunky machines clogging up my counter), I have seriously thought about just going back to a hand grater/slicer but I checked on Amazon, and lookie here:
[www.amazon.com] Does anyone have one of these doodads? It looks pretty cool and I actually like the manual aspect to it, not to mention the purty design! Re: dehydrators, blenders, food processors questions

Date: September 27, 2011 01:07AM Jodi, I am thinking that my VM may be able to do some of the stuff I used my food processor for. I am a bit jaded by the plastic thing in the center of the food processor. So many of these machines have it and that is what broke in my last one!
