True, deboning a chicken is MUCH easier with a good knife (even a bad knife! -ED), but shredding cheese, slicing potatoes, and kneading bread (especially kneading bread!) are MUCH easier with the food processor. To tell you the truth, I own BOTH a food processor and a good set of knives, and I use them as appropriate. If you don't do a lot of cooking where a food processor saves you more time than it wastes (in added cleaning, etc) then you don't need one. Otherwise, you can't live without it. Either way, it isn't the food processor that is the deciding factor, it is your style of cooking. chuq -- From the house at Pooh Corner: Chuq 'Nuke Wobegon' Von Rospach {fortune,menlo70}!nsc!chuqui Have you hugged your Pooh today? Go, Lemmings, Go! A good magician should always subscribe to the highest purposes, and nothing should disuade him from these lofty goals, except, perhaps, that he has to eat, and it is nice to put a little away for retirement. - The Teachings of Ebenezum, V.
