Food processors are similar to blenders in many ways. The primary difference is that food processors use swappable blades and disks (attachments) instead of a fixed blade. Also, their bowls are wider and shorter, a more appropriate shape for the solid or semi-solid foods usually worked in a food processor. Usually little or no liquid is required in the operation of the food processor unlike a blender, which requires some amount of liquid to move the particles around its blade.

Its functions normally consist of:

  • Slicing/chopping vegetables
  • Grinding items such as nuts, seeds (eg spices), meat, or dried fruit
  • Shredding or grating cheese or vegetables
  • Pureeing
  • Mixing and kneading doughs

History

The idea of a machine to process food began when a French catering company salesman, Pierre Verdan, observed the large amount of time his clients spent in the kitchen chopping, shredding and mixing. He produced a simple but effective solution, a bowl with a revolving blade in the base. In 1960 this evolved into Robot Coupe, a company established to manufacture the first "food processor" for the catering industry. In the late 1960s a food processor driven by a powerful commercial induction motor was produced. The domestic market had to wait until 1972 for a food processor. The Magimix processor arrived in the UK in 1974, beginning with the R1, 1800, Magimix processor. See first patent of this machine

Carl Sontheimer developed a food processor in America in the early 1970s, adapting the design from the Robot Coupe industrial blender. In 1973, this first home food processor was introduced in North America as the Cuisinart.
