Having to pre-cut and prepare your ingredients manually can put a lot of stress and strain on your hands and arms, which is why I knew it was time to make the switch to a big mouth food processor.
The food processor is a very common appliance in many homes, but there is definitely an advantage of having one with a big mouth feed tube included.
I was surely one of those people for the longest time that did not know how useful this feature really was compared to a regular food processor. I often made the mistake of thinking every food processor was just as versatile as the next one, but this clearly wasn’t the case.
Although the overall design and look may seem very similar, a wider feed tube is able to process ingredients that are usually halved or whole, without the fear of the food processor being clogged up or bogged down.
This is one of the biggest issues that I have encountered when using a regular food processor, or blender, to make salsas using whole ingredients such as tomatoes, peppers, and onions.
Without this extra room in the feed tube, meal preparation can be very tedious and exhausting. Most people would rather do other things with their time and energy than performing the mundane task of ingredient preparation by hand.
