Talon Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'm wondering, how many of you use a food processor to make chops, for your birds? Someone suggested it, but I have never tried one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I do. I use my food processor for lots of things though. I like to cook and wouldn't be without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdhouse Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I've had my Ninja for a while & am still really glad I gave into the impulse purchase. I originally got it for bird food. But I use it for all kinds of things. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?194324-42.50-VERY-Well-Spent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRSeedBurners Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I use one. We also have a juicer that leaves behind pulp. Before I had the birds, I would use the food processor to chop up scraps for our chickens. They (the chickens) also get the pulp from the juicer. I noticed that once I started giving my hens the pulp that they started to have really nice looking plumage. Don't think it was a coincidence. Our house chickens, as I like to call our parrots, get pulp and chop as well. The food processor is messy but I only bust it out when I'm freezing their meal packs.

Luvparrots Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I love to hand chop vegetables but I also use a food processor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inara Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I use my food processor for making Inara's cooked "mash" then I portion it out into a mini-candy mold and freeze. When frozen, I drop the cubes into a large bag and just take one out daily for her. For fresh veggies, and fruits to give her a change of pace, I use my (as seen on TV haha) Magic Bullet. I love that thing! Easy to clean, easy to make small batches of things, and powerful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Love the Ninja for sure but the little Black & Decker chopper works great for small portions of fresh goodies. Hated my old food processors, a pain to clean and something always broke on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I need a food processor (the big ones) for some of the stuff I cook. They are a pain to drag out and cleanup. Mine is a Cuisanart that I have had for about 5 years. I used to buy cheap stuff, but as I've gotten older I've realized that it is better to bite the bullet and buy the more expensive kind if you are a heavy user. I have a Kitchenaid mixer for the same reason. That said, I try to group my work with the food processor. I.e. when I know I'm going to use it for cooking I make Timber's stuff at the same time. That way, I only have to clean it up once. It's all a matter of scheduling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greytness Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I use the food processor whenever I'm making large batches of veggies. Then I freeze them in ice cube trays for later use. The veggies I do this with are the ones that require a little cooking: carrots, beets, corn, etc. Otherwise I hand chop their fresh daily entrees.
