CleaningĪlthough you would assume a food processor is significantly harder to clean, there’s really not as much difference as you would think in this regard. And since all it has to do is chop, it will probably still get the job done. A cheap food chopper could cost as little as $15. You could probably get a relatively basic food processor for about $40, but with more functions, more things can go wrong. If you want the best product however, the top food processor will definitely cost more than the top food chopper. The price is going to depend on the brand. Lately there have been some smaller food processors being produced, but even at its smallest, it will still be larger than a standard chopper. With many uses, comes many different parts and so it won’t be a space-saver. A food processor, is quite a large, clunky machine. The disadvantage is that it can’t hold more than a few cups worth of food, but it won’t take up much space. Seeing a processor and a chopper side-by-side, it’s not hard to notice the significant size difference.Ī chopper, being that it has one function, is a pretty small appliance. You’ve only got so much cupboard space in your kitchen, and you have to make the best use of it possible. This one might seem like a bit of a trivial thing, but it is an issue worth considering. So while the chopper can chop if you need it to, if you have a food processor you’re not limited to just that one thing. It’s a multi-purpose machine and it’s not particularly hard to use. Okay, it can’t do that last one but you get the idea. It can chop, it can blend, it can slice, shred and grate. The food processor on the other hand can do quite a bit more. If all you need to do is chop up some vegetables for a salad or a soup then the chopper is really all you need. All it does is chop.īut that’s not necessarily a bad thing. As mentioned above, a food chopper is pretty much only good for one use. The primary difference between the two is the scope of what they can do.
