I am extremely tight on kitchen counter and storage space so I scrutinize every kitchen appliance purchase and manage to make do with the bare essentials. One product I had wistfully longed for was a food processor but I already owned a blender and couldn’t see owning two appliances that somewhat perform the same task.

One holiday season there was a display of Hamilton Beech mini food processors at a bargain price so I bought one and insisted to myself it would make a great gift.

Once home I eyed the box and decided to fish out the instruction manual just to see what this little guy could do. The manual was informative but didn’t exactly satisfy my curiosity. Carefully I unwrapped the mini processor from its packaging and set it on the counter. It barely took up any space at all!

Examining the blade I wondered how effectively it would work on some of the things my blender was pitifully poor at chopping. Suddenly I decided to give it a try.

First I made breadcrumbs, unlike my blender the mini made fine crumbs with no large pieces left in the container. Next I chopped an onion and again I was satisfied with the results. Then I pulled out a hunk of ham and set about making some ham salad - the arch nemesis of my blender.

What joy!

The mini chopper shredded every bit without those annoying big chunks left behind and I didn’t have to keep scraping down the sides of the container. Needless to say the processor kicked my blenders butt and no one ever got that mini processor as a gift that year.
