Cuisinart Mini Food Prep


ReviewThe Cuisinart Mini-Prep feed 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 may 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 get started again. The bowl, cover, and blade assemblage may all be run through the dishwasher, but watch your fingers when dissembling the machine, as the blades are exceedingly sharp. –Irene Svete

5VERY POWERFUL AND EASY TO CLEAN
By A
I highly commend the Cuisinart Mini-Prep. I’ve had one for 6 years and it is still running beautifully. For such a little unit it has a breathtakingly powerful motor. It may chop or puree vegies, fruits, – even cooked beef, chicken, and fish. When I introductory purchased it I applied it principally for chopping onions, garlic, herbs, etc., but then I started out to discover the possibilities. Ofcourse, the portions you are capable to prepare are small, but if you’re alone or have a very little family, it’s a outstanding little machine. Also a breeze to clean (not like the huge Cuisinart units). Only negative is that it is rather noisy, however, for this price it is a terrific value. I ought to add that I purchased two other mini processors prior to this one (both by Black & Decker) and was exhaustively discontented with them. The motors were not powerful at all and the blades were in a dissimilar position than Cuisinart Mini-Prep. They could not chop more than 1/4 to 1/2 cup of feed at a time or it would not run. Neither unit would puree anything, only coarse chopping was possible. If you’re looking for a good mini processor the Cuisinart Mini-Prep is it!

5A time for each seasoning……
By Southern Review
A time for each seasoning……and a utensil for each purpose. The Cuisinart Mini Prep does not serve well as a necessary processor for heavy jobs. That was not it is intended design, or function.

5Mini-Prep
By Spyce
I have been using the Mini-Prep for a few years. I like to use it for little jobs like chopping herbs, parmesan cheese, and for making pesto. I haven’t had any difficultnesses with processing parmesan cheese as one reviewer did. The blade has two sides, a blunt side for processing hard items like parmesan cheese, chocolate, and coffee beans and a sharp side for processing soft items such as onions, garlic, meats, and mushrooms. The sharp side is labeled sharp. If you substitute amid processing hard and soft items, you have to do not forget to check the position of the blade to make sure you are processing with the right side. In addition, the processor has two speeds, HI & LO. The LO speed is commended for use with the sharp side of the blade and pulse action while the HI speed is commended for use with the blunt side of the blade and uninterrupted processing. The Mini-Prep has a lot of kick to it for such a little appliance, and I have found it best to hold it steady with one hand, exceptionally when processing hard feed items, because it will jump when powered on.
