A little slower processing nut butters than what I expected. The end result was quite good but it was a slow process with a couple of stops to let the machine cool down. And I was within the quantities suggested b
Food Processing at it best! The only thing that makes this 14 cup capacity processor better than my previous one is it's size. I received my first one over 40 years ago.
There is a bit of a learning curve to this food processor. The food chute has to be inserted a certain way or the motor will not turn on. I had to watch a video on YouTube to understand what the problem was. Apparently others have had an issue with this also. My old Kitchenaid was far easier to operate. I’m hoping I’ll enjoy this unit more once I get the hang of it.
I owned an 11-cup Cuisinart food processor for many years, and even when the ‘skin’ of the buttons wore away it continued to work like a champ - until a lightning strike killed it. Before I purchased a replacement, I checked America’s Test Kitchen for their latest reviews on food processors, and was really pleased that their top choice was the model I wanted to purchase - the 14-cup Cuisinart. We’ve had it a bit over two months now, and couldn’t be more pleased. It’s heavy, and solidly built. Simple to operate and use. I was a bit disappointed that it didn’t have the dough blade that came with our late 11-cup model, but I’ve learned since that I can make a great bread dough with just the standard blade. I was really impressed that this model has more than enough power to handle dough. Plenty of accessory blades are available too, though I wish they they were a bit less expensive. Still, I wouldn’t consider anything less than the Cuisinart name for this very integral part of my kitchen. Everything I need to slice or chop, heck, even making butter and bread dough, goes into this machine and comes out perfect.
I love making homemade bread but the kneading was killing my shoulders. I was surprised how fast and easy it was to make my bread dough using my cuisinart 14 cup food processor. I also use it for making dog food for my 115lb Rottweiler, chopping all the vegetables.
