KitchenAid – Food Processor Attachment

This is a very good attachment, which will not fully replace a food processor, but will do some operations even better. There are two options for the food processor attachment. The cheaper option can shred, slice, and cut to julienne. The little more expensive option (extra $20 – $30) can also dice, which is my favorite function, especially when I prepare potato salad (for uniformity and great size).

In comparison to a regular processor, the advantage is that the food goes through and does not get stuck in the mixer. You can start with your bowl under and continuously process without stopping by simply replacing the bowl. Even with the difference in how they process, both versions of the attachments are generally a little more expensive than I wish. However, I still believe they are worth it, especially the version that dices.
