Remember, the idea is fast and consistent results. So, when you hit the button and you have sliced, chopped, shredded, or whatever you're doing really really fast. "Don't think, was it worth it?" The answer is, yes, its worth it. You're done, throw it in the dishwasher, and enjoy your friends and family.
I only used it to shred cheese so far, but it's almost worth it for that alone. I froze the block of cheddar for a few minutes, drop it in the chute, and it was perfectly shredded in like three seconds. Can't wait to use it to make salsa and soups and whatever else!
This thing is so freaking quiet! I can't believe it packs such a punch while someone can barely hear it from around the corner. It's incredible. Works like a charm and I wish I'd bought it a long time ago.
This is my second Cuisinart Food Processor, though the first one I have purchased. My first was a hand me down from my mother. After 50 years the bowl had significant cracks in it. Turns out we bought an entire new processor, and in the process learned the bowl fits the original. Now need to buy another bowl and we will have two, which will continue to receive heavy use and provide reliable service for years, maybe decades to come.
The Cuisinart food processors are number 1 in my book. I have cooked for almost 50 years and I have always loved the Cuisinart brands. They're second to none. The Cuisinart 14 Cup Food Processor makes enough pasta for a family of 8. I've never had a bad batch. Thank you Cuisinart!!
All my adult life I’ve never been without a Cuisinart food processor and never will be. I was given the very first model from my parents for Christmas. They gave them to my sisters also.
