I love my 1995 mini food processor! It makes perfect pesto. But for bigger jobs, such as gazpacho, I have to pull out my 1970s blender.
I just recently discovered grinding beef in my food processor. I’ll have to try pork!
I absolutely love the newest generation of food processors and use mine for almost everything! My Cuisinart Elite has 3 nested bowls, it can puree larger quanties at a time (10 cups of liquid) and it doesn’t leak. The steel blade locks into place instead of falling into the soup pot or cake pan! The ‘dial-a-slice" slicing blade is ingenious, 6 different thicknesses from 1 blade. Recipes from my cookbook ‘The Food Processor Bible’ work perfectly in both older and newer models. Keep your processor on the counter, not hidden away in a cupboard!
