Cuisinart® Custom 14 14 Cup Food Processor
Here, you can see me placing the pusher into place at the top. If the groove of the pusher doesn’t feed into the feed tube, the food processor simply won’t turn on. I have spent countless hours chopping, cutting, slicing, kneading, grinding, and shredding ingredients in my kitchen. You get Prime shipping if you’re a member and the return process is easy and lengthy if you’re not happy with the appliance. This is the only area were the Cuisinart fell short, though most food processors struggle to evenly and consistently shred cheese.
Even when you are a starter, you will be confident to process food with this machine as it comes with free recipe and instruction book in a package. The Cuisinart Prep 9 excelled at everything in our tests, even tricky jobs like slicing tomatoes and shredding carrots. It’s a classic food processor with very basic, easy-to-use controls — just three buttons are included — which makes this the ideal model for those who are new to food processing.
Chopping vegetables requires good hand-eye coordination and quickness. And there’s nothing quite like stirring a homemade hummus for long amounts of time to get rid of all the clumps. Even after two zucchini, the large 14-cup mixing bowl starts to feel not so large. If you have a small kitchen, storing all the items could prove to be a hassle. Eventually, I got tired of all the tedious food prep methods.
This model of Cuisinart cup food processor is constructed with a compact design. Users can process food easily with a drop-in hole if shredding or slicing are no your daily household handling. This is the reason why this Cuisinart cup food processor is called a half mini-processor because it cannot be used to shred and slice foods. With a sleek design, the cuisinart soup maker can outcompete other products on the market.
In the end, though, the cauliflower pizza and latkes we made in the Cuisinart were delicious and even came out on top among some of our friends in a taste test. Cuisinart has been a well-known brand since the 1970s until now for its wide range of high-quality products. Customers can buy versatile products in different sizes, budgets, and capabilities.
Since we have purchased this food processor we purchased an extra 14 cup container for use and a blade holder. We are all in with this machine and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good food processor. I am looking forward to many years of service with this machine. This large capacity food processor speeds all cooking from quick weeknight meals to weekend celebrations. With the large 14 cup work bowl, extra large feed tube and dishwasher safe parts, there is more time to share the delicious results with family and friends.
It was not mentioned anywhere in the instructions so we thought we had a dud. Grounding chicken was a breeze, making slices of lemons were quite easy and quick. We bought this in July, used it 3-4 times so far, so couldn’t speak about longevity.
We never would have thought to knead dough in a food processor; in the past, we’ve always done it by hand or using a stand mixer. But sure enough, the Cuisinart’s swift-acting blade turned dough elastic in a matter of minutes with minimal effort. All cuisinart pots and pans sets in our list above are suitable for tiny kitchens, as they are not space consuming. The Cuisinart FP-13DGM Elemental 13 Cup Food Processor and Dicing Kit didn’t chop as evenly as our picks. Our testers were impressed with the dicing kit, which chopped firm vegetables like potatoes and carrots into even cubes.
