Best Answer

Your ideal multipurpose appliance is a set of four items:

  • A paring knife
  • A chef's knife
  • A bread knife
  • A food mill

With skill and these four items, you can perform nearly any kitchen task, with greater precision and accuracy than the expensive electrics. They also take very little space. It takes practice, and is more work, but I went years before I had a food processor or other electric.


Truthfully, this question cannot be answered directly. Every device has its strengths and weaknesses, and is ideal for different tasks.
