    Since no one seems to know they exist, a cheap food processor grates cheese and slices/dices vegetables perfectly for most dishes and sits right on your countertop. Saves so much time and prep work.

      Does it? Seems like those are always more work to clean than just a simple grater, which is why I usually just go for the grater.

        Blenders and food processors are easier to clean actually. You put water in them and just add a squirt of dish soap. Run it for a few seconds then rinse it out.

        It depends on the volume you need. A food processor can shred an 8 ounce block in a few seconds. You will spend a bit more time cleaning, but it can save a lot of prep time if you need multiple blocks or lots of vegetables. I used one a lot more when I was meal prepping multiple dishes.
