[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this 7-cup food processor free from KitchenAid in exchange for this review.
I have never used or owned a food processor before so I was at a loss for what to do with it. I put a call out to friends for suggestions and then chose some to try. I made hummus, minced peppers for hot pepper jelly and minced garlic to keep in oil in the fridge for future use. I've never made hummus, or minced bulk garlic, and traditionally, I have used a different product to mince the peppers. Using the processor made each of these tasks quick and easy. For the peppers, it's a toss up between the two products, both do the job quite well. The processor was able to do a greater volume of peppers, which is helpful.
For someone unfamiliar with this type of machine, it was very easy to put together, which is great. There's not much more frustrating than a complicated piece of equipment that takes so much brain power to put together that you give up on what it was you wanted to use it for in the first place. Everything just snapped right in place. The lid has an easy open buckle, and comes totally off so you don't have to fight with it if you're trying to add more food or scrape the sides of the bowl. It did not require any twisting or significant effort to put it together, use it, and take it apart for cleaning and storage. There aren't any weird nooks and crannies in the lid or bowl that hold on to or hide whatever it is you're creating, which I liked a lot. It cleaned up very quickly, is top shelf dishwasher safe (YAY!) and all the blades and such fit right back in the bowl for storage. There are several blade options - although all I used this time was the main multipurpose blade - which adds to the functionality of the processor.
My only complaint at this point is that the bowl doesn't have measuring lines on it. It would be very helpful to have those on the bowl so you don't have to dirty up a measuring cup if you need to measure out your ingredients.
It is unlikely that I will use this processor on a daily or even weekly basis, but come canning season, when I make jams, jellies and salsas, I have a feeling it is going to make my life significantly easier, faster and probably keep my kitchen a bit cleaner in the process! I am looking forward to putting it through its paces at that time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Snap on features are a improvement over twist-on top and the twist-to-start style food processor. So easy to use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Test fired it on soup Sat. (6 recipes put up). Really good on veggies even chopped up the Kielbasa & Andouille sausages.
