Useful for a number of chores in the kitchen
By Joanna Daneman
While I commonly chop on a plastic cutting board with a big chef’s knife, the Cuisinart makes various tasks a lot easier. Chopping cooked or raw meat is one. If you are making hash from leftover corned beef, a short burst in this feed processor is the easiest way to go. For mixing sure pastry doughs (pie or pate brisee) this is also a very good item to have, though you have to be careful to go tardily and not overprocess. The one thing the Cuisinart does is heat up the dough if you whirl it around too much, so you have to be careful. And if you put too heavy a bread dough in, using the plastic bread blade, you may heat the shaft up sufficient to jam the blade onto the central post and that’s a big nuisance. However, with these cautions, the Cuisinart is hands-down my bestloved feed processor and for shredding, slicing thinly or chopping, finelooking much the best kitchen appliance for the job.

great for bread and everything
By Taylor
Background: I purchased this Cuisinart after reading all the positive reviews on this site. I purchased it mainly for making bread because my mother raves in regards to making bread with hers. I already had a little feed processor for chopping, so I wasn’t too concerned with regards to that.
Opinion: I have made outstanding bread with this (rustic style) with no problems, and it actually is easy. I in truth prefer this one to my littler feed processor for chopping, because the blade sits closer to the bottom of the bowl and so is better for chopping little quantities. So far I haven’t gotten the slicer to work as well as it does in the video (things fall sideways in the tube, etc), but I haven’t tried too hard. I only cook for two, and I do not think it is too big. In fact, it’s much better than the littler one because I may slice various things into one bowl. Furthermore, I have most times found it to be too little (for making cole slaw, for example).
I am here now to get galore further and added blades. I commend getting an additional, thinner slicer blade if you want to make coule slaw. The one that comes with the machine is a little too thick,

Excellent Addtion to a Gourmet’s Kitchen
By Scott Trulock
For the size and the money, this is one of the better buys if you are looking for time- and effort-saving device for gourmets.
This feed processor may replace a lot of other tools in the well-equipped chef’s kitchen: Mandoline, Pastry Knives, Potato Masher, to name a few.
Since I started out using the Cuisinart, I have been competent to make well-mixed doughs for perfective pastries and breads, julienned veggies (with a distinguished julienne blade) for crudites, superb mashed potatoes and potatoes au gratin, as well as a great deal of other dishes with a minimum of effort.
The only flaw of the Cuisinart line is the feed tube. While the multiple size feed slots make it easy to push anything from full-size potatoes to drizzling oil to make mayonaise, it may be a major challenge to clean due to the multiple crevices in the feed pusher.
Overall, however, the Cuisinart may make short work of the most elaborated culinary endeavors, with a skillfulness to match a whole counter full of manual tools.
