Cuisinart Chopper And Grinder

ReviewThe Mini-Mate makes quick work of little kitchen prep jobs that might other than as supposed or expected require difficult and messy chopping, grinding, and grating: nuts, nutmeg, and cinnamon sticks, peppercorns and seeds, garlic and anchovies, even chocolate and citrus peel. With a patented reversible blade for sharp or blunt processing, and two speeds of operation, it is well equipped to handle a potpourri of jobs. Though it has a high-speed motor and lasting stainless-steel motor shaft, keep in mind that the Mini-Mate is designed for little amounts of food: 2 tablespoons is the greatest or most complete or best possible commended for one batch, and feed pieces must be no more prominent than 1/2 inch. Purchase it to complement, not replace, a larger, full-function feed processor. An instruction book that comes with the processor details how to routine a great deal of mutual foods and troubleshoot difficultnesses so you recognise how to best use and care for your Mini Mate. Cleanup and completion of little jobs is quicker and more effective because of the little size, though the some parts of the Mini Mate require disassembly, careful cleaning, and reassembly, which does add to total cleaning time. If you don’t have the time or the longanimity for littler detail-oriented prep jobs, Mini Mate is a great kitchen aid. –Emily Wolf Cuisinart Chopper And Grinder Pic Cuisinart Chopper And Grinder Image Cuisinart Chopper And Grinder Image Cuisinart Chopper And Grinder Picture

Makes purees very well, but hard to clean
By Don Anderson
I tried two other little feed processors, the KitchenAid Chef’s Chopper and the Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus for making two to four servings of pesto, cilantro sauce etc, but pureeing these little amounts of ingredients in the approximately 3 cup work bowls was difficult because the blade throws the ingredients on the sides. Scraping the ingredients down assorted times helps but the finished product was still not smooth enough.

The MM-2M works much better for making these little amounts of sauces. You still have to scrape the ingredients down once or twice but the puree is much smoother. The blades turn much more quickly than the other two processors and there are also two speeds. You may reverse the blade holder to choose a blunt or sharp leading edge. The blunt edge works well for pureeing.

The ominous drawback to this processor is that the motor housing forms the top of the work bowl. As a result, rather a bit of the finished product ends up coating the end of the motor housing. If you are not exceedingly careful when cleaning the motor housing you will get water and perhaps feed into it. If you’re just chopping comparatively arid ingredients like coffee or arid spices, this would not be so much of a problem.

Don’t Buy it
By Marina
My introductory Mini Mate passed away within 60 days because a metal piece fell of it. The substitute I received (pay attention, you remunerate shipping for sending it and a 10$ check) broke after being used twice.

Perfect for little spice/herb grinder/mincer
By Brian Massey
Cooking Thai, Viet, Chinese, Indian dishes requires quick chopping/mincing/grinding/puree of *multiple* spices. I searched all over for something of little size for per-meal quantities. This is it! Just a few pulses, and you have minced garlic, galanga, lemongrass, coriander, ginger, chili peppers, whatever. Works good too on little quantities of nuts, and even coffee beans, in a pinch. Another review says various pieces to wash; I don’t get that, you just have the included bowl and blade thingee to rinse. The motor top doesn’t get messy because it’s on top; you just sponge it off when done. Love mine; inexpensive and to purpose. Perfect for that mini-spice/herb/food-processor you’ve been looking for. Enjoy!
