Some of them come with a chopper attachment (like a mini-processor) which I
thought looked silly, and never expected to find a use for. But - it works
really well for chopping garlic and parsley, and is excellent for small
amounts of breadcrumbs or nuts. For small amounts of garlic, etc., I still
use a knife, but the little chopper is very good when doing large amounts.
Mine also has a whisk attachment, which gets a fair amount of use -
whipping cream or eggwhites, and frothing up hot chocolate. I can't
remember the last time I used my standard blender (actually, I can't even
remember where I stored it!).
