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

  • Great kitchen staple
Color: Brushed Chrome
Mainly bought it for the chopper aspect as our old one broke however it works well in all functionalities. The design is clean and modern and is easy to use as there are only a few buttons. Blade size is good, seems like it will be durable and useable for some time. It was also discounted compared to the other colors which was a plus given that it looks sleek and modern. ... show more

  • Works great, dishwasher safe!
Color: Brushed Chrome
Works great, girlfriend loves it, dishwasher safe, what’s not to love? It’s good. It is loud! It locks into place easily when turning. The blade seems sharp enough to grind things into a powder. Assembly involves just putting the main container on and turning it into place, super easy. Speed seems fine. My only complaint is that it didn’t grind 100% of the things we put into it into a powder, meaning we had to use a strainer afterwards, I think that’s just a function of the blade being relatively far from the bottom of the container maybe? Overall though it worked great and is simple and dishwasher safe. It’s also nice and small which is great. ... show more

  • Not Too Shabby
Color: Brushed Chrome
It's not without its flaws, but overall a decent little processor. I've only used it twice at the time of this review and here's what I've noticed. The lid is made of much thicker plastic than the canister. The canister feels cheap and flimsy. One accidental drop and it's history. For some reason they decided to add a black strip of plastic to the handle that captures water and takes forever to dry even with the little drain holes. Pointless and only there for aesthetics. The blades are sharp. You can go from chopped to pureed in a couple pulses. The cavity under the blade might get some food in it so make sure to give a good rinse to avoid bacteria growth. I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher. A quick dip in soapy water will do the trick. Keep in mind, this is for food, not liquids. Liquids go in a blender. This product is best used to make salsas, dips, and batters. Thicker stuff like that. If you plan to make smoothies, buy a Ninja bullet. ... show more

  • Excellent Compact Food Processor - 3 cup size perfect for our 2 cup use
Color: Brushed Chrome
Exactly what I was looking for! Needed a small compact food processor for small uses. For example salad dressing that calls for 2 cups of liquid + herbs. I premix in a 3 cup measuring first. Then pour into the processor. Drop in 1 large avocado that has been cut and mashes so it mixes without large chunks. Then press the button and release to pulse and reverse blade direction. Quick and convenient and do much easier than using our large food processor. We have always had good luck with Cuisinart products and this one is no exception. Well made, safety features and so easy to clean in sink with just water. Only problem I ran into was chopping cauliflower. I precut into very small pieces first. Dropped in and used chop. Did great, except since cauliflower tends to be sticky starch, I used the provided small scraper to rotate bottom chopped to top and press ones that did not chop down to bottom. The sticky cauliflower stuck to the sides and left open area above the blades. 1 more blade towards top like other brands would solve that one problem. Otherwise, a great product for small uses. Also tried the grind mode for small bowl of walnuts. Chop size is controlled by pressing releasing grind button. Same for other mode, ... show more

  • Nice size and works great
Color: Brushed Chrome
Great little unit when you don't want to drag out the big boy. Minces garlic well 1 or 20 cloves. Good for making emulsified salad dressing. Chopping up panko to get finer.

  • Great little food processor

Does a really nice job with dicing up vegetables!

  • Great little food processor!
Color: Brushed Chrome
I've had a large, heavy 14-cup Cuisinart food processor for years, which I love and have used for everything from making bread dough to shredding cheese, pureeing soups or other blender-type tasks, dicing vegetables, and even making nut butters, oat flour, and more. But it's so large and heavy and was a pain to get out for small things, plus the large work bowl wasn't well suited for some of these smaller tasks, either. So, I finally decided to get one of these. It's great! It's lightweight, easy to get out or put away, and is very convenient for small tasks. In my case, I often use it to make just a cup of oat flour or to "blend" blueberries and bananas into plain yogurt as an easy breakfast. It's so convenient I've used it almost every day for the last month (since I got it), unlike my large model that I only got out if I really thought the effort was worth it. It's also fairly easy to clean. The manual says all removable parts ares dishwasher safe, but I've mostly been hand washing to make sure it's ready for the next day (but the dishwasher has also worked). There are some disadvantages, one obvious: it's quite small, so it's not suitable for larger jobs (or heavier--the motor says 250 W; my large one is 720 W). Even with a 4-cup bowl, I can't imagine making much more than 1 cup of oat flour or similar dry ingredients before it gets to be too much. But that's perfect for me -- it's actually better than my large one for this small of an amount. It's also quite loud. I got ear plugs to wear while using it, which I know sounds excessive but really seems like a good idea with this unit. Other disadvantages include a non-waterproof lid (or really anything-proof): there are two small holes in the top, apparently by design. This mostly isn't a problem unless it's probably too full -- again, you won't really get a full 4 cups -- and the contents are watery; in actual use, this has rarely come up for me. Also, replacement parts practically cost more than the unit itself, which I discovered after I considered buying another bowl, lid, and blade (to worry about washing less) since I'm using mine almost every day. Some may also not like that the unit is gray but is actually plastic instead of stainless steel, though I don't personally mind. All things considered, this is a great unit as long as you're aware of the capacity and power--but it works well for its size! If you're like me and want an alternative to your larger food processor, I'd consider this one (but if you're looking for mostly larger jobs, probably start with one of those instead). ... show more
