Love This Mini Food Processor for Shredding Cheese Or Chopping for Quick Recipes
I LOVE this smaller food processor for chopping. I use to only use the huge Cuisinart (you know how much cooking I do). Then, when I was at my mother’s house, she had a mini food processor and raved about it. I was so excited because she sent me this mini processor for a present and I use it all the time. Truly, it’s the perfect size.
You can easily buy a block of cheese and shred it for a money saver. I do it all the time and then chopping a few ingredients couldn’t be easier than with this mini food processor. I have this exact one and use it all the time. Easy to use and easy to store.
