A:AnswerNo it doesn’t slice different sizes. There is another ninja food processor that has the ability to change thickness. I still use a mandolin for French fries.
A:AnswerYou may not be able to slice them as they are smaller; however, you can chop them in the Ninja - Professional Food Processor, 1000 Peak Watts, 9-Cup Capacity, Auto-iQ Preset Programs - Silver.
A:AnswerMy limited experience says yes.
I made probably the smoothest hummus ever in it yesterday.
It also does well making almond butter, so I'd say give it a try for the chilies.
A:AnswerIt should be able to handle hot foods depending upon their density, but I would use extreme care in not overloading the food bowl. If you have a lot of material to process, it might be better for you to review/purchase an immersion blender, my other favorite appliance.
A:AnswerAfter powering on, you select from either section. You control the time with the high/low/pulse buttons. The Auto buttons are preprogrammed and will stop after the predetermined time.
I just used it for the first time yesterday to slice onions and it was great. But I suggest you read through all the instructions for use carefully and keep them handy the first few times you use it. Enjoy!
A:AnswerThe Ninja Professional Food Processor only includes the processor bowl, whilst the Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System includes different vessels like the 72oz pitcher or single serve cups (included vessels will vary based on where the item is purchased).
