What to buy at Crate & Barrel? Food Processor, Bowls, Grill Pan Decisions?
I have been sitting on a gift certificate to Crate and Barrel for over a year now. Every time I go to their website I can’t ever make up my mind, because I want it all and can’t afford it. Help me!!
I need a mini food processor. I’ve never had one so no idea what constitutes a good food processor. They have two on their website. One by Kruk for bucks and one by Cuisinart for bucks. I want to use it to chop nuts, make sauces, and chop small amts of vegies. Which one should I get?

The second decision is between a prep mixing bowl set and a grill pan. I hate my old dirty mixing bowls and have been wanting a new set..but alas, I do have mixing bowls. Plus I like the set on CB because it has lids. bucks for that. The pan: I love to grill, but we have a charcoal grill outside that just seems like a pain in the butt to use to me. I would like a great pan that I can use on my stove to grill chicken, burgers, and fish and not have to rely on the hubby for my grilling needs. Its bucks.

Thanks for helping me! I’m the most indecisive person!
If it were me, I’d got the grill. It will be used the most.
Unless you cook often, you’d be surprised that you will not use the food processor as often as you would think. And don’t forget…you have to clean it! I’m to the point where I never reach for our processor.
Go to places such as WalMart to get great low cost mixing bowls with lids. I have several. And supermarkets have their own to sell.
By the way, check on that gift. Some are no longer good after one year. It is a real scam now days. Some Christmas certificates are only good for one or two months. Sad but true.
