All ovens should be convection ovens. Burnt the hell out of a pizza at a friend's place recently because I tossed it in his oven without thinking and set it at 350 like I normally do at home. Rack was too close to the burner and by the time I checked on it, it was already nuked on the bottom but hadn't even begun to cook on the top. It was my fault because I had a fart brain and was thinking it was like my convection oven where it doesn't matter where the rack is, because when I set the oven to 350 degrees, it's 350 degrees all over. Seriously, convection ovens are nice.

Deep Dish Fuckfest posted:my oven has spirals on top of it that get hot through the miracle of passing an electric current through a material with high resistivity. same thing for the inside of the oven itself, but the thingies aren't spiral shaped. there are 5 knobs to make things less hot or more hot. last time i thoroughly cleaned it i found a yellowed folded piece of paper taped to the inside of where the knobs are mounted which turned out to be the list of parts and parts numbers, and the full circuit diagram for the whole thing which i imagine is there in case you ever need to repair it with supplies you scavenged from the bombed-out ruins of a radio shack after surviving thermonuclear war with the soviets, which most likely was still a concern at the time it was built smart appliances are dumb as hell, don't ever get one. You should consider getting an induction stove though. My current house came with one, and it kicks rear end. I like it way more than a traditional electric, and I even like it more than my old gas range.

induction is rad and gas sucks sorry i have a ceramic top electric now and i’d rather have coil electrics even than gas again. you can smell it as soon as they’re turned on and lol if you think combustion byproducts in your house are great it’s hilarious to see people online try to come back with “you must not like to cook then” because fuckin’ lol

people love saying things like "restaurant quality heat control" which means they don't know that restaurant burners are p much only ever at full blast or bare simmer electric and induction are fine once you adapt to them and you can cook anything

My favorite thing about induction is that it is fairly idiot proof. Especially if your cooktop has temperature sensing and shuts itself off if the things you put on it are getting too hot.

the food processor appears to be sharper and flatter and allow for multiple blade attachments which probably helps for certain kinds of chopping poo poo really tiny

Archduke Frantz Fanon posted:blenders are made to mix and liquify and food processors are made to chop it’s mostly this. they’re separate devices. generally if you don’t need fine purées or soups or making smoothies or something, you can get by with a food processor just fine. food processors can also handle much thicker products more easily than a blender can. imo i like the breville food processor because the bowl is sealed so if it’s full of wet stuff it keeps the surrounding area cleaner but the price has gone way up since i bought one. for blenders i like the vitamixes but the blendtecs have their following too

I used to swear by the cuisinart 14-cup food processor, the one with the bowl with straight sides , but I’m not sure if the quality is still there. still has a high ranking on consumer reports at least. there are definitely things you can do with a food processor that you can't do with a blender and if I could only have one it would be the processor

DELETE CASCADE posted:what keeps a food processor from blending as well as a dedicated blender? id say the speed of blades and the fact that good blenders are designed with jars that direct the flow of food back down into the blades so you get the content passing through and around the blades with greater frequency

flat bottom i think? you get a more even cutting surface and likely more cutting power but not like the funnel that allows for liquification in a blenders shape thats just a guess though i am not a cuisnart scientist

food processors also generally have a small maximum liquid capacity because of the way they're constructed so you can't puree a whole soup in them

I have a Vitamix I use on the regular, and they put out a food processor attachment for it that's been pretty needs suiting when I've used it. The differences between a blender and a food processor have been pretty well covered above though. Also, I have a confession. Minus my dishwasher, all my appliances are Samsung. In my defense they're all 11 years old though, and aside from a couple of the LED lights on my fridge getting dimmer over the years, I've had 0 issues so far. If I had to buy new appliances tomorrow though, I would not buy Samsung.

Glorgnole posted:I got one of those last year and aside from the color it looks and feels identical to the one my mom got 25 years ago Yeah look and feel is the same but they had to do a blade recall a few years back and it took like a year to get everyone their replacements, and the plastic seems more brittle (I cracked the lid within a year of owning mine) and replacement parts are crazy expensive and they have several almost identical skus so it's hard to figure out which part you need. maybe they got better in the last few years though

look i’ll just myself as a blender snob but the ninja does not compare to a vitamix or blendtec period. i think they may have a more robust single unit now but that nonsense with the multi blades for example is a gimmick now you may not give a poo poo about the extra processing that a vitamix or blendtec can do and that’s also fine
