This absolutely essential food processor is just $49.99 at Walmart
Not going to lie, I went through the first 10 years of my independent adulthood without a food processor. Despite being someone who loves cooking, I was arrogant enough to believe that I didn’t need one, that it was a frivolous luxury appliance that went beyond the basics of what I needed to include in my kitchen repertoire.
Since acquiring a food processor, I have salsa’d, I have chimichurri’ed, I have pesto’d, and I have delighted in all of it. Hummus, cookie dough — no finely chopped or gracefully blended recipe is off limits to me now. Right now, you can avoid repeating my decade-long, stubbornness-born mistake and pick up a Hamilton Beach food processor for $49.99 instead of $77.99 over at Walmart.
This handy appliance has a 12-cup capacity, which is more than enough to whip out a batch of baba ghanoush for the whole crew. It’s easy to get going too, thanks to a design that involves snapping parts into places versus doing the whole align-the-part-on-the-tracks-then-twist-to-lock-it thing.
The food processor comes equipped for your creativity (and recipe books), too. Two different blade setups are included: There’s an S-shaped blade for your usual chopping and pureeing, as well as a reversible disc for slicing or shredding.
One detail we love? A sealed bowl with a pour spot so you don’t spill your freshly creamed soup all over the counter. Shop it while it’s on sale at Walmart — and get free shipping with your order, too.
