Having watched the Jamie Oliver shows recently and wanting to try so many of them, I don't have a food processor and its just not possible to chop things finely enough for these recipes.
So my brief is -I need a food processor to make sauces primarily I guess - for example the Piri Piri chicken dish - blitzing up chillies, vegetables etc, fine cutting -
Nothing else required that I know of .
So what would be your recommendation to buy. for something that will have reasonably limited use.

I have a kenwood, one of these. http://www.priceme.co.nz/Kenwood-FP920/p-791314457.aspx I love it. not a huge price for what it does.Comes with glass blender jug too, and a glass 'mill' for chopping nuts/ grinding coffee etc.I gave my magic bullet away, as it does everything.

lol, just saw the bad review on that link I gave.Mine doesn't shudder, and it works VERY well. you should see it blitz big strips of lemon zest into sugar. amazing!That customer must have been unlucky with the one she purchased.

There are so many for sale now, you can buy tiny or large. A good knife is better for smaller jobs anyway. Stand behind, Jamie Oliver. The way he treats his equipment you could make a good one out of the parts. I found one of his shake things in a store the other day, it was munted. Worse still, it had shards of hard plastic inside.

If it is just for sauces, a stick blender with a mini-processor attachment would probably do the trick.I have a Breville stick blender and the mini-processor bowl holds a surprising quantity.It will mince two medium-sized onions for example.

lol, I had a look at that. I love anything "Kenwood" puts out. I have a chef most parts for it. A blender, all good. Any blender will shudder if not loaded correctly. I have never had mine shudder.

My experience with processors is to get a decent size one, as sometimes the bowls of smaller ones arn't big enough to make up larger batches of things if you want to. For smaller quantities as davidt says amazing how much work they do.
Hey thanks, that looks perfect. I don't want half the cupboard space taken up with a food processor that gets used once a week :)

I have one of those too, just for making up pastes etc for curries. Works well - better with it's small bowl than my Magimix, especially for the sort of things you want it for.

Magimix compact.Does everything the bigger ones do and takes up less space.

I have one of these also and find it fantastic. The grater and slicing attachments are also handy.
