Description

The Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus Food Processor is the perfect little helper for small food preparation, from chopping herbs to finely grinding hard cheese. Its versatility lies in its efficient 250-watt motor and special auto-reversing SmartPower blade, making the Mini-Prep versatile enough to process both soft and hard foods in the 24-ounce work bowl. In addition to the 24-ounce work bowl with handle, this mini food chopper includes a stainless steel blade with sharp blunt edges, spatula, and instruction/recipe book. The Mini-Prep Plus is as easy to clean as it is to look at, with a wipe- clean touch pad and dishwasher-safe removable parts. With a BPA-free design, the Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus Food Processor comes with a limited 18-month warranty. This little 250-watt workhorse comes in handy when a full-size food processor is unnecessary. The 3-cup work bowl is just right for making pesto or a salad dressing, and two receptacles in the lid have pinholes for one or two oils to stream into the bowl while the processor is blending a perfect emulsion. It's also ideal for chopping and grinding. Pressing the "chop" button deploys the sharp edge of Cuisinart's patented reversible blade to chop onions, herbs, or bread crumbs. Pressing the "grind" button whirls the blade in the other direction so its blunt side can grind nuts, coffee beans, or cheese. Compact at just 9 inches high and lightweight (it has a plastic body), the Mini Prep Plus can be tucked away in a cabinet, and the little spatula accompanying it goes into a drawer. It carries an 18-month warranty against defects. The plastic work bowl and lid are dishwasher-safe, but the stainless-steel blade should be hand washed to protect its edges. --Fred Brack

    • Powerful, Compact, and Easy to Clean
Color: White Size: 3 Cup
This little food processor has been a huge time-saver in my kitchen. Don’t let the size fool you—it has plenty of power to quickly chop onions, garlic, herbs, nuts, and make sauces or dips in just seconds. The 3-cup size is perfect for everyday cooking without taking up much counter or cabinet space. It’s very easy to assemble, use, and clean. The bowl and blade wash up quickly, and I appreciate that it doesn’t have a lot of complicated parts. The motor is powerful, and it produces consistent results every time. If you don’t need a large food processor, this is the perfect size for small families or everyday meal prep. It’s well made, reliable, and definitely worth the investment. I use mine all the time and would buy it again. ... show more

    • Very impressive
Color: Brushed Chrome Size: 3 Cup
At first opening the box, this seemed a little fragile. Then, I tried to chop up around 2 cups of cubed, cooked beef. Within two seconds (literally), this mini processor had completely ground up the beef into small hamburger pieces. Then I tried some onion and some carrots. Same experience. I am very impressed. It works so efficiently, the plastic bowl is quite sufficient to contain the food products. It is easy to clean and takes up little space in the kitchen. It’s not designed to handle the local rugby crowd, but for 2 or three people, it is terrific. I’m not sure about longevity, but if it works this well for a year, it is worth the money. ... show more

    • Awesome
Color: Brushed Chrome Size: 3 Cup
Perfect size. Does not take a lot of room. This is my second one, the first lasted for 8 years with heavy use. Unfortunately, I dropped the lid and stepped on it. Great quality, very strong and durable. If I didn't break the lid, this would of last for many more years to come. The blade remained very sharp and the unit/motor still ran perfectly. By heavy use means I had used it pretty much everyday. It can hold a lot of foods,herbs etc. It does not strain or reduce RPMs with heavier products such as butter that is still firm.. I love that it has a forward and reverse spin. You dont have to consistently take the lid off to push whatever you are blending (such as Butter). Heaver material tends to roll up into a ball and is pushed it upwards, away from the blades. Simply use the reverse spin (chop) and it will pull the material doward and continue to mix/chop/blend. If I dont step on the lid again, I am sure this one will last for many years to come. Love it, Cuisinart has not made any changes to the processor through the years. As we know in todays market, many manufactures use cheaper materials so items wear down quickly. Thus, you have to replace more frequently. This is the exception, strong and built to last. Very reasonably priced for a product of this high quality. ... show more

    • Sturdy little machine with a couple of cons...
Color: Brushed Chrome Size: 3 Cup
This is a good little food processor. It took me a while to pick one, especially because there are so many out there. Here are my lists of pros and cons after having this little guy for months: PROS: It is light-weight and easy to store as it pretty small, it is easy to clean, grinds up stuff really fast (it is a powerful little machine), and it is perfect size for a bit of hummus, or grinding up beans or nuts for a recipe. CONS: It is SO loud - every time I use it I feel like I need to wear earplugs. This is my first ever food-processor, so noise may be typical. I was just surprised by how piercingly sharp the grinding sound was. Also, It is almost impossible to emulsify anything unless the liquid I'm pouring in is the consistency of water as that is all that will go through the tiny holes in the top. So if there is any thickness at all to the liquid using to emulsify, I either have to revert back to a blender or pour in a bit and blend and pour more then blend again. I wish the little area of the top with the holes was removable to do this. I make little batches of hummus and dressings, and it would be nice to have the ability to pour in consistently and slowly. Even with these cons, I will use and keep this little machine until it no longer works. It was worth the money, and as a "food-processor newbie" it was way easier to use than my blender. ... show more

    • Glad I bought this
Color: White Size: 3 Cup
This has helped with food prep. I use it primarily to make ginger-garlic paste, but I also use it occasionally for chopping other foods. It’s powerful and the blades are very sharp. It is small and wouldn’t be ideal for larger jobs, but it’s good for small batches. It took me a while to learn how to align the blade, the bowl, and the lid, but now it’s second nature. It cleans easily. ... show more

    • Fills a niche for chopping small amounts
Color: White Size: 3 Cup
Nifty gadget to do jobs too small for my standard size food processor. I made a very nice basil pesto with garlic finely chopped and basil leaves in tiny pieces. Today I needed just half an onion well chopped, no fuss. Then bowl and lid into the dishwasher, very little space needed. The big version for large projects is still a keeper. ... show more

    • Good points mostly, overall excellent
Color: White Size: 3 Cup
3 cup size (24 oz) is an excellent alternative to the much larger food processors. Smaller size means MUCH easier to clean by hand — and yes it’s dishwasher safe. Clever 2-button system of “chop” vs “grind” is implemented by a blade which has two cutting edges on opposite sides, so it spins clockwise to chop and counter-clockwise to grind. The two end up being different. Ever have the problem where you start something like basil chopping, and the bottom half of the leaves gets all chopped but the top half doesn’t get chopped at all? I was pleased to discover that if you alternate pushing the “chop” and “grind” buttons, that solves that problem! The “grind” button actually pulls the top half down so you can “chop” it. Note that if you want to continually chop, or grind, you need to hold the button down. There’s no “keep chopping” function like the older mini Cuisinart choppers had. Frankly, I don’t think that feature is worth it at all, and after using this chopper, I don’t miss it. It is no problem to just hold your finger on the button for 10 seconds. And it’s just as easy as before to pulse it. The only (mild) negative I found is that it is more finicky than I expected in locking the bowl onto the machine before it will turn on. You have to put the bowl down with the handle pointing just precisely so (about 7:00 position), then turn it to the 6:00 position, with more precision than previous models, and no clear mark or indicator to guide you. But after a few moments of struggling, you’ll figure it out. Overall, this was a very worthwhile purchase. I recommend. ... show more
