Does a great job with no hassle
By S. Albertini
I avoided food processors in the past because the food chute
was always too small, the motor wasn't up to the job, and they were a pain to
clean. My fiancé bought me this food processor as a Christmas present. I'm
pleased to say that we're both impressed by its appearance, thoughtful design,
and performance.
The brushed stainless finish is attractive and easy to wipe
clean. The handle-in-front work bowl design is accessible to me (right-handed) and
him (left-handed) equally. The machine doesn't take up a huge amount of counter
space, and sits securely without "walking" or shimmying even when
processing heavy foods.
The work bowl has a HUGE opening that greatly reduces
pre-prep knife time. However, you are not stuck using the big opening all the
time. The pusher has a smaller round "sub-pusher" in it that provides
a smaller opening for holding long vegetables upright or for adding liquids
while in motion. The lid is secure but can be removed and replaced easily.
Everything fits stably and securely on the motor base. Work bowl, lid, and
pusher work together to make sure you are not exposed to sharp edges or flying
food (so long as you don't stick your hand down the pusher opening). At 9 cups,
the work bowl is the perfect size (7 cups is just barely too small for good
processing, I've found).
The first thing I made with the processor was a turkey salad
with leftovers from Christmas dinner. Big chunks of onion, celery, and green
pepper chopped evenly in a few pulses using the S blade. Big chunks of cooked
turkey chopped evenly and smoothly without pureeing. The included spatula got
all the food out of the work bowl quickly without making a mess. I made
homemade mayonnaise (successful my first time ever with homemade mayo)
according to the recipe in the documentation, and threw in some herbs to mince
while it was processing. I sliced a cucumber with the slicing disk and was
startled how quickly it went through.
My fiancé walked in and said, "Wow, are you already
done with that? I didn't even hear you." (The machine is quieter than my
blender.) While I plated the salad, he washed the parts quickly with a soapy
sponge and was surprised how easy it was.
It's important to know that this machine will take the same
blades and attachments as the 7-cup version (the Prep 7, DLC-2007N). It doesn't
say that on Amazon's or Cuisinart's site or anywhere in the documentation, but
it does mention in a hard-to-notice place on the side of the box that it uses
7-cup processor parts. The set includes a standard 4mm slicing disk and a
medium shredding disk, but I've ordered the 2mm slicing and a fine grating disk
and plan to order the egg whisk later.
EDIT: I received the two disk attachments, and they fit and
work just like the disks that came in the box. This verifies that the
attachments for the 7-cup model fit this 9-cup model too.

Good, solid, basic machine.
By Naomi Witzke
My first attempt at purchasing a food processor was to buy
the $69.99 Oster. I did this because of the price. Predictably, it did not perform
well and I had to return it. Perhaps Oster does better with blenders, I don't
know. After doing further research, I was torn between KitchenAid and
Cuisinart. There are hordes of loyal followers in each camp on this issue, and
it was hard to choose based on reviews. I finally just went with Cuisinart,
because it happened to be the model that my local store carried. In general,
I'm happy with the product and would recommend it to other home cooks. I've
only had this appliance a few months, and I don't use it every day. I probably
use it once every couple weeks because it's only my husband and me so I don't
cook for a crowd. I do love to prep a lot of food and then freeze it ahead
because I'm a busy teacher, so the processor is a big help with that. If it
were not so heavy and easier to clean, I'd probably use it more because this
workhorse really gets the job done fast. Here are my observations based on what
I've done with it so far:
It is excellent at:
Making breadcrumbs (both fresh and dried)
Mincing fresh herbs
Chopping/mincing raw and cooked meats (like whole chicken
for chicken patties etc.)
Making salsa
Pretty Good/Could Be Better:
Shredding carrots, cheese (very quick and uniform, but some
gets stuck between the lid and the shredding disc)
Grating a wedge of Parmesan (I put small chunks of it in the
bowl with the chopping blade, as it shows in the DVD demonstration - and the
result was coarser than I expected. In the end it melted fine in the dish I was
making (lasagna), but it just felt like coarse sand to me when I was finished
processing it, rather than soft powdery flakes like you get when you use the
fine holes on the box grater. Still, it sure was a heckuvalot quicker than
doing it by hand. I guess I'd do it again, as long as it was being added to a
dish that would be cooked, like pasta. To make a pile of Parm to serve at the
table or to add to breading, I would still use a handheld Microplane zester.)
Not Good:
Slicing green onion by the bunch (it pulled them under the
lid rather than slicing)
Cleanup and Handling
It's a little finicky to wash by hand, because there are
nooks and crannies for stuff to get stuck in. So far with a little effort and
some strong jets of water to shoot into the cracks, I've been able to get it
clean. It MUST air-dry, because there's no way to get a towel into the handle,
where some water collects. If I had a dishwasher I think cleanup would be a
breeze. So far I've only used it when I had a big job to do, because otherwise
it's just quicker to pull out the old cutting board and knife or the box
grater. They're easier to haul out and quicker to clean. Speaking of which,
this processor weighs about 12 pounds empty, and in the summer the rubber feet
tend to "suction" themselves onto whatever surface they're sitting
on. Not so easy to lift this baby down from on top of the fridge, I discovered
- and I'm 5'9!. ' I would recommend storing this at countertop level or lower,
and then lifting with your knees to save your back and shoulders.
Final Comments:
I am happy with my purchase and would buy another Cuisinart
if this one ever dies. I wish it shredded things without pulling them sideways
under the lid, but that's my only complaint - and actually, it's only a small
amount that gets pulled under. In the end, I'd much rather use this processor
to shred several pounds of cheese than to use the box grater. I would recommend
this size to a family of 4 and up - unless you're like me, and you like to chop
a bunch of stuff at once and then freeze or can it. Good product, decent price
for what you get overall.

Cuisinart stole my heart from Kitchenaid!!
By Karen H
I'm a Kitchenaid kind of girl, so when my husband surprised
me with the Cuisinart Food Processor, I was faced with quite the quandry. I
began to research both the Cuisinart 2011 and the Kitchenaid 760. The reviews
pointed slightly towards the Kitchenaid so I figured I'd swap mine for it. I
visited a local store to compare them in person and was so disappointed to
realize that the Cuisinart fits together more securely and smoothly. In denial
I stared at the blades for quite some time. Finally I had to admit to myself
that the Cuisinart ones were heavier. They felt better and looked more solid.
Oh how I tried to convince myself that the Kitchenaid was better. But I just
didn't like how the top on the Kitchenaid snapped into place. It's not as
smooth. The KA comes with more tools. Surely I'd end up with the Kitchenaid.
I went home and joined the online Kitchenaid Conversation
Forum. Who does this? It's a group of people who post back and forth about
their devotion to Kitchenaid. I begged Kitchenaid Rita to help me back on the
righteous path.
Then I started using my Cuisianrt to test it out. I tried
not to love it. I just couldn't help myself. It's so convenient to use. I
started to think that the extra KA bowls might start to get on my
nerves--always taking them in and out. I've made all kinds of things in my food
processor. I made pizza dough. I can't believe I've been kneading by hand all
these years. I made sweet potato chips; I made hummus and salsa... the list
grows each day.
I actually use it all the time. And, it would be very much
like me not to use it if it were at all hard to assemble or clean.
OK, there you have it. A perfectionist's testamonial and
admission of betrayal. I do love my new Cuisinart 2011, and I feel guilty for
ever having doubted it. And just last night my new TOB-165 Cuisinart Toaster
Oven arrived. Review on that soon...
