It works much better / myLot

Using your food processor to grind things works much better if you put the blades in. Making things like hummus go more smoothly. I could not figure out why my combination was not getting smoother. Not smashing the beans. I checked again and saw that the blade component was sitting on the counter. There was nothing to chop things up.

Never used one before. I would imagine the blades would help.

I actually bought this when I was making homemade cat food for a couple of kitties with dental problems.

Yes, that helps it a lot!

How did your hummus turn out in the end?

It is very nice and I made a double batch of it. I may go back and add some garlic as I did not put any in this time.

@GardenGerty I have a tub of Thai coconut curry hummus that I got free from work. I'm curious to see how those flavors work.

At least it was an easy fix.

A little sloppy but easy in the long run.

I think you found the solution. Some day I will have to get a food processor just to say I'd done it.

Just a glorifed blender. Look at thrift shops. They often come cheap.

Yeah. I could see how that wouldn't work so well.

@GardenGerty I have not used my food processor in quite some time so so sorry that happened to you about the blade.

I have not been using my small appliances much, but hope to.

I'm surprised that it ran without the blade. I don't think mine would.

Mine is a "Ninja". I am not sure if it is a food processor, or what. It is not a blender. I do have a food processor that is different. Think it has to have the blade.
