The difference between a juicer and a food processor

Food processors and juicers are two completely different types of small household appliances. Food processors are mainly used for food processing. They can squeeze juice, make soy milk, and blend and crush. Juicers are mainly used to squeeze juice from fresh fruits and vegetables, but they do not have the function of heating, so the soy milk they make is usually raw and needs to be heated separately. Juicers are generally cheaper.

The advantages of using a juicer in daily life are relatively simple. The main feature of a food processor is that it can be used for other types of assistance and can be used to supplement other foods, so the functions of a food processor are relatively more than that of a juicer. Below we will briefly introduce the difference between a juicer and a food processor.

A food processor usually refers to a machine that integrates many food processing functions. It can not only squeeze juice, make soy milk, but also blend and crush, but it requires the addition of water. Food processor is a general term for all food processing machines.

The juicer does not have a heating function, so the soy milk produced is raw and needs to be cooked separately before it can be drunk. A juicer is specially designed to squeeze vegetables or fruits into vegetable juice or fruit juice.

In terms of price, a juicer usually costs more than 100 yuan. It is recommended to buy a four-in-one juicer and blender, which includes a juicer, soymilk maker, blender, and dry grinder. The price of a food processor is generally around two to three hundred yuan. It has a wide range of functions, including grinding dry powder, mincing meat, making soy milk, and squeezing juice, but it usually requires secondary processing before it can be eaten.

Professional juicers can only make juice, not soy milk. But most food processors can both grind food and make juice, and some can even make soy milk. However, the editor believes that using a food processor to make soy milk is not as convenient as using a soy milk maker. It is not easy to clean and you have to cook it yourself after making it. The juice produced by the food processor is too much residue and is not as convenient as a professional juicer. Food processors are good at crushing and blending.

In terms of professionalism, a professional juicer does not add water or other liquids to make juice. The juice squeezed by a professional juicer is original and the juice and residue are separated. A food processor is also known as a multi-functional food processor, blender, juicer, etc. It is a machine that integrates multiple functions into one. People mostly call it a juicer, but this is actually a wrong name. When a food processor makes juice, it is usually necessary to add water or other liquids as an aid, otherwise the result is fruit puree instead of juice. It can choose whether to separate the juice, and can also make other dishes, such as shaved ice, grinding powder, minced meat, etc. Professional juicers cannot make other dishes except vegetable juice. Of course, there are also juice extracting and cooking combination machines on the market. You just need to switch them and you can make whatever you want and cook it however you want.

The above is the difference between a juicer and a food processor. Everyone has a certain understanding of the difference between a juicer and a food processor. A food processor is mainly used for food processing. It can squeeze juice, make soy milk, and can also blend and crush. A juicer is mainly used to squeeze juice from fresh vegetables and fruits, while a food processor is better at crushing and blending. Compared with a juicer, a food processor has more comprehensive functions.
