Re: KA w/spiral hook vs Food processor

I’ve literally never made any dough except pie dough in my food processor.  I’d guess the limit in a 14 cup is maybe 1kg/2lb?

This is a hard question for me as I use both my KitchenAid and my food processor for all sorts of things other than dough. I’d really miss not having both a lot.

I’d probably go with the bowl lift mixer as I think it probably makes a better dough (food processors will easily overheat a dough), and it definatley has a larger capacity and a lot more versatility with reguard to making different kinds of dough. For example, I don’t think a FP can make high hydration doughs.
