Description

Powerful Stainless Steel Chopper/Grinder, 21 OZ Work Bowl, 2 Speeds, Reversible Blade, Brushed Stainless Base, Dishwasher Safe Parts, Spatula, Instruction Book. Features: 21 ounce work bowl|110 watt motor|2 speeds for precision processing processing|Patented reversible blade for chopping/grinding|Dishwasher-safe parts|Stainless steel blade with sharp and blunt edges|Spatula|Instruction/Recipe Book|Limited 18-month warranty|BPA Free The Cuisinart Mini-Prep food processor stands 8 inches tall and just over 4 inches wide, but don't let the size fool you. The base houses a motor so powerful that you need to stabilize it with one hand when using the high setting to whip up a strawberry-banana smoothie for one in less than a minute. The clear plastic prep bowl locks into place with a simple twist, while the blades can be set sharp side up for chopping onions or grating Parmesan cheese, or turned blunt side up for making walnut pesto or whipping up chocolate frosting. The set includes a spatula and a cleaning brush to remove coffee grounds. For best results, cut ingredients into small, even pieces--about 1/2-inch square or so works well. In general, use the sharp-edge approach for low speed and the blunt side of the blades for high speed. If you need to run the motor for longer than one minute, pause and begin again. The bowl, cover, and blade assembly can all be run through the dishwasher, but watch your fingers when dissembling the machine, as the blades are extremely sharp. --Irene Svete

  • The jack of all food processing, master of almost all food processing
Color: Stainless Steel Size: 14-Cup Pattern Name: Food Processor
[Update] After using this item for a few months, I've found it quite good. However, there are two major issues which I hope Cuisinart can fix in the next model. First, the safety locking mechanism is pretty complicated making it difficult to clean. The lid and bowl both have a small hollow column which houses the shaft that comprises the safety locking mechanism. These elements are very annoying to clean if anything gets inside. I've found this to be more and more of a downside every time I wash it. Second, and this was a surprising and more serious issue, but I was recently finely grinding about 2 cups of lean meat for beef meatballs, and occasionally the blade would jump out of the shaft, stop moving, and get stuck. Most likely some meat got lodged under the blade and caused it to lift up. This caused the blade to cut a deep scratch in the bowl. Unlike some other models there is no spindle or other mechanism to hold the blade in place. It's only held in place by the tight fit between the shaft and the blade. If this keeps happening I think eventually it will damage the bowl/blade beyond repair. I'm not even sure if any plastic got in the food. Although this happened with meat, I'd imagine it might happen with any similar thicker food. With the locking mechanism for the safety lid being so complex, maybe some better locking mechanism could be created for the blade. [Intro] I’ve always wondered if I really needed a food processor since I already have a stand mixer and blender, but with the reviews of the Cuisinart Custom being so good, I decided to give it a try. [Build Quality] The base is very heavy and feels very sturdy. The plastic used in the blade assembly is also very dense and hefty (this unit came with the improved blade that won’t crack). The motor is very high quality as it’s insanely quiet in operation compared to any kitchen appliance I’ve used. I have seen reviews showing cracked units, so I’ll update if I encounter that. Most of the unit is made of plastic, except for the thin brushed metal wrapped around the base. Measurements: The large chute measures 4.5 in x 3 in. The small chute has a 2 in diameter. The bowl interior has a 7 in diameter, and is 5 in high. The entire bowl is 10 in at the widest (including handle and locking mechanism), and 9.5 in high including the chute. The base is 10.5in x 8 in x 5.5 in (L x W x H), and the post is 2.8 in high. The lower blade is about 1 mm from the bottom of the bowl, and there’s about 2-3 mm of clearance from the blade tips to the edge of the bowl. [Features] The unit comes with the base, blade, container, large pusher, small pusher, medium slicing attachment, medium shredding attachment, and spatula. It’s disappointing it doesn’t come with an adjustable slicing blade or dicing kit like the 13-cup Cuisinart Elemental, but that one is not reviewed as well. I don’t think such options are even available for this model. I hope Cuisinart can release a bundle with this machine and accessories similar to the Elemental in the future. Buttons: This has an on button that stays depressed when pressed, and an off/pulse button that pulses the motor and turns off the motor if on was pressed - simple and elegant. The tactile feel of the buttons is quite nice, and their large size and travel is very helpful compared to tiny touch buttons or a touch screen, especially if your hands are a bit greasy/wet from working with food. [Use] Chopping: Although it doesn’t dice, it does chop food quite uniformly, as long as you don’t overload the container with large chunks. The motor has a braking function after you let go of the button that immediately stops the blade so you’ll never over-process. It’s a lot better than my blender, which doesn’t stop immediately. It’s also harder to take food out of the blender and clean since it has a non-removable base. I’ve used the Cuisinart to make salsa and it excels at it. The large capacity is also great. Slicing: Slicing creates nice and even pieces and food rarely gets left on top of the disc. It’s insanely fast at slicing vs a mandoline, but maybe not as accurate. One annoying thing is that the chute requires the pusher to be inserted to work, which prevents you from slicing longer foods without cutting them. Shredding: Shredding is as good as slicing. It gives great results and is especially useful for hard but slippery foods like beets or potatoes (for making borscht and hash browns). Compared to a box grater, it’s a lot faster and you won’t mix any of your blood with the food. I also can’t shred at all with my blender or stand mixer. I’m not sure I’d shred soft stuff like cheese though, as the cleanup vs a box grater doesn’t seem worth it. Dough: Since I have a stand mixer already, I don’t really use this to mix or knead dough, since it creates a mess. I’ve used it to cut butter into flour, which it excels at compared to a stand mixer. The instruction manual warns you not to mix dough that you would have trouble kneading by hand. Meat: A special note about meat. The Cuisinart doesn’t grind meat per se, but rather purees it. However, this means it’s great for making stuff like tartare, beef meatballs for hotpot, baby food, etc. With a blender, if you try pureeing meat, you’ll get strands of collagen wrapped around the blade shaft, and it’s almost impossible to get rid of, but with the Cuisinart it’s a cinch to clean up. Nuts: This doesn’t work as well for nut butter compared to my blender. The blender is so powerful that it just outclasses the food processor on speed and creaminess of the result. I’m also worried that the blade will dull after using it a lot with nuts, while the blender’s blades are dull to begin with. Washing: I only handwash the machine. While the inside of the container and lid are very simple and have no nooks and crannies, food can definitely get stuck in the other parts. The attachment disks are crimped on the bottom edges with a deep groove that could collect food. The worst design is that the pushers have holes on the pushing side. It’s really hard to cram any scrubber into the pushers to clean these areas. The locking mechanism is also not sealed and so if you aren’t careful you could splash food into it. Assembly: Assembly is quite straightforward. I haven’t had any issues with the locking mechanism. It does have an additional feature where you cannot remove the container if the lid is locked onto the container, as the lid pushes a small rod down into the base which triggers a button that allows the motor to function. I could imagine that someone twisting the container off could possibly break this plastic rod. [Conclusion] Overall I’m quite pleased with this device and I think it deserves the top marks it’s gotten from other reviewers. Pros include quality and consistent results, very quiet operation, and good user interface design. Cons include lack of included accessories, locking mechanism of the chute, and some parts being quite difficult to clean. It definitely beats out a blender or stand mixer for quite a few applications. 4/5. ... show more

  • Listen its quiet...
Color: White Size: 7-Cup Pattern Name: Food Processor
It's so quiet when so many arent, which was a top priority for me. This machine works fantastic and so easy to use. I looked for cheaper one's but after watching many videos and reading reviews I just knew this was the machine for me. My Daughter-in-law picked this machine up at a thrift store for $7.00 so I knew it was a great machine but didnt want to spend the money. I purchased a different model at a thrift store also for $7.00 but its not quiet and a hassle just to open and lock the lid. Bottom line sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and pay full price for what you want, I love this processor and it was worth every penny :) ... show more

  • This is a major step up from inexpensive brands
Color: Stainless Steel Size: 14-Cup Pattern Name: Food Processor
This is my first Cuisinart, and I never understood why these were so expensive versus what I owned previously (an inexpensive food processor by Black and Decker). Superficially they look quite similar, and the old inexpensive one I had was OK and it lasted for a very long time. This Cuisinart is substantial - other food processors cheat and use suction cup feet to grip the counter but this thing just sits on the counter and stays put. It feels great to use in that sense. The controls are simple and streamlined, and work very well. There is apparently a technique to properly using this device I am learning it. The blades are heavy/substantial as well, and they are sharp...they work very well. I sliced through a raw sweet potato like nothing and the slices were thin, consistent, and neat and there wasn't residual potato jammed in up top like I would have expected from cheaper machines. I use it mostly with the chopper blade to make bean dips and hummus so far, but I'm also looking forward to chopping veggies with it (this may have a learning curve). I haven't used the grater wheel yet but look forward to grating beets, carrots, and cheese with it. They have detailed instructions on how to cut different things in the manual. With regard to washing, it's very easy - while there are minimal nooks/crannies associated with reinforcing structures inside the container and lid, they're still easy enough and apparently everything is dishwasher safe which I haven't tested. Aside from handling sharp blades, there are good safeguards on the device, and even the food pushers include vents or holes so they could do double duty for slowly drizzling in things like oil or water. Just well engineered and a pleasure to use. So in summary, this is built well, is a long-standing brand which means they offer replacement parts and other parts (thinner/thicker slicer blades, grater blades, and a french fry blade). I'm very pleased with this purchase so far. ... show more

  • Could be the best
Color: White Size: 11-Cup Pattern Name: Food Processor
Slices and dices with the best of them. Only thing that would make it better would be to make it easier to dry after washing. I leave it over night on a kitchen towel and get by fairly well. Make meal prep a breeze when there are a lot of ingredients that need slicing or chopping. Blends well and stays where I put it without dancing around on the counter. Stores well in a deep drawer. I like it! ... show more

  • Major time saver
Color: White Size: 11-Cup Pattern Name: Food Processor
It is amazing how quickly I can chop vegetables for soup or other dishes. My homemade bread gets kneaded in a minute or less, and the baked bread has better texture than my old hand kneading. Clean up is easy and even fun. I also grate Parmesan, which is super easy and more flavorful — I will never buy store-bought grated Parmesan again. I love, love, love this thing, and am so glad I have it. ... show more

  • Great addition to the kitchen.
Color: Umber Size: 14 Cup Pattern Name: Food Processor
The only thing I dislike is cleaning it by hand. No dishwasher at our cabin, but at home it’s a breeze. I used the grater blade to grate a bunch of cheese, it’s fast! It’s a time saver for sure.
