5 Cup Food Chopper

I have a 5 cup kitchenaid food processor that I use for salsas with some texture and a nutribullet for smooth salsas. Very happy with both.

Any idea what size your current food processor is? I’ve used the 5 cup KitchenAid processor I think it’s worked perfectly fine for stuff like coleslaw and making sauces and various other little stuff where I find chopping it is more preferable than the blender. I wouldn’t recommend the 3.5 cup chopper that they sell since the closing mechanism is a bit finicky and annoying which you’ll probably find if you look up a review of that one specifically. 5 cup and 7 cup work much better. KitchenAid also frequently has them on their refurbished section on their website. A lot of those are usually just returns from stores that are checked over or excess inventory that they receive back from stores. I’ve bought from there before and had no issues and basically got a brand new unit at a much cheaper price.

Howdy, depends what kind of salsa. For traditional chunky salsa really any food processor will work. For salsa salsa cremosa I like the Kitchen Aid Food Chopper (which I also use for chunky salsa). It has a pour spout so you can slowly drizzle in oil to create the emulsification needed for salsa cremosa. Lastly for a thin salsa I use my Vitamix. It blends everything into a complete liquid. I use that for salsa I want to use in a squirt bottle.

My experience with mini food processors is they won’t exactly shred cheese, but if you cut your cheese into small pieces and stick it in the freezer for 10 minutes, then chop it with the chopping blade (usually S shaped) you’ll get basically the same effect.

I’ve used both a ninja mini and a kitchenaid mini

I really like my kitchen aid one. Wait for a sale and they’ll run you about $45 CAD. I’ve had it for years and it still runs just as well as day 1. It’s dishwasher safe also!
