Im looking at a Cuisinart food processor and blender in one. But there’s a slicer for taco night and if my processor will do the job I don’t need to appliances. How do i know if it will grate cheese?

All of the recipes that I find for falafel say to use a food processor to coarsely puree the mix for falafel. Some even go so far as to say it must be a steel blade. I don’t have the money for a decent food processor at the time, but want to make falafel. Will it come out ok if I mix and blend by hand instead of in a food processor? Any suggestions?

Just bought one because on the food network they use it for virtually everything but now I can’t remember any recipes. What are some good recipes that you use often in a processor for dinners?
I am actually making meatloaf tonight but didn’t know if I could put the meat in the processor? I chopped the onions and everything in there.
