What's the difference? I have a 10 speed blender and also a small bullet blender with a couple of attachments. I see recipes that say something like "put in the food processor for 2 minutes, until smooth".
Try making a pasta or pizza dough in the blender.
I chopped the butter into the flour for a pie crust in my food processor. I added the liquid and the food processor turned it into a ball of dough, as I had read it would do.I have never tried making any kind of dough in a food processor.
Will the blade not just chop up the ingredients? Does one need a special attachment for dough? I have two processors, but only use them for chopping and mincing. I have a big one and a small one.
I am asking as I have never tried it.

Bread dough can challenge your food processors motor so I use my KA mixer.
But the food processor is terrific for making pie dough.
Our processor has a plastic blade as well, but we just use the metal blade. You'll think its magic the first time you see that ball form.

Is there a difference between a chopper and a food processor? They look the same to me, with the exception of the size.
...We use the KA mixer for cookie dough and for the couple times I have tried pizza dough. If I have tried making bread, I can't remember. But I think I still removed the dough ball and hand kneaded it on the counter.
I have heard peoples comments about the KA kneading dough for 30 minutes before. Sounds like that would burn up the motor?
Do doughs really require that long of a kneed time? And do you let the mixer do all the work?...
Chopper....looks like a food processor (as I know them) has a metal blade in it and I use to chop vegetables into tiny pieces.
There isn't really a difference in terms of how they work, but a larger food processor is more versatile and includes a slicing blade that my 1-cup chopper doesn't have. My FP is about 4 cups and it works well for us.

Generally speaking food processors are somewhat more versatile than blenders as they do more things but if you want a very smooth sauce or soup. FPs can deal with dry ingredients or thick mixtures which most blenders can't. I have a large high end FP and a cheap and cheerful blender. I use both. There is a blender attachment on the heavyweight Kenwood mixer I inherited from my mother but haven't used it yet.What's the difference?
