I've started using our family's food processor we have had since I was a little kid. It's a Cuisinart and on the bottom of it there is a metal stamp saying it was made in France August 1981. So that has definitely stood the test of time
For mayonnaise in the Cuisinart: place the processor on a cutting board and tilt it at the beginning of the recipe to allow the lower blade to work on the yolk and first bit of the emulsion. Then, as the volume increases, you can continue on level surface 👍
@@lorddalekI tried purchasing a old DLC blade for my dlc-8 from the 80s online. Everyone I purchased I had to return on account that it didn't fit because it was wiggling when the blade was inserted. I don't think that anyone can order these anymore 11/29/24
I've bought several Cuisinart products, and 100% satisfaction with them all. I now look to that brand first when getting any new kitchen device/product.
@@h7opolo Bread dough! It allows you to make several batches of dough in under ten minutes. Beats the crap out of getting flour everywhere and hand kneading. Serve the bread with homemade peanut butter made in the food processor.
The thing I find frustrating about Cusinart processors is that sooner or later they always seem to end up with mold in the handle and or rubber lid seal. When you contact their service centre they say you can't take these apart to clean them and you just need to buy a new part. I'm on my third bowl and second lid and have now paid more in replacement parts than the machine cost. Why can't they make it so you can clean anywhere that water can get in?
I have the Breville and I LOVE IT. It’s pricey but worth the investment. My mom brought me a Kitchenaide for Christmas one year and I had a similar problem with it like they did (it started to smoke on me. The motor isn’t strong enough). My lovely husband replaced it with the Breville. It’s a workhorse and it definitely makes life easier. I’ve put the Breville through a lot and it hasn’t failed me yet. It has a strong motor and pulsing is responsive. Clean up is simple. I honestly do not have any complaints about the Breville food processor.
When I tried to use mine for it, it made a huge mess because it was too powerful. Also, I guess I needed a taller container, so the learning curve is there.
How is the cleaning ? I detest equipment that takes twice as long to clean it than it took to process the foos through it. With the adjustable blade, is it difficult to get it clean?
I really wish you would test other Cuisinart models. I have a Cuisinart Elemental 11 Cup unit and I would not change it for your winner, as mine has something I consider to be an indispensable feature, and that is an adjustable slicing blade. It can go from paper thin slices to much thicker slices that your winner, and few other food processors on the market for that matter, cannot come close to. Yes, you can purchase other blades for your winning model, but why should I have to find storage for multiple blades when an adjustable blade does exactly what I need? I know you will not give it a high rating, however, as it lacks an induction motor which your winner does have, and is the reason for its ultra responsive pulse button and for it being a very quiet machine. But I can live with a slightly longer pulse and the extra noise for the adjustable slicing blade.
My grandma has the old favourite Cuisinart. It’s almost 50 years old. The blade is cracked, but it’s still runs like a champion! My parents own the Magimix beautiful machine, but the lid is a pain to clean. I own one of the breville machines, motor is fantastic. I had price constraints so that’s what I got, but any of the Cuisinart, Magimix, or breville machines are fantastic
The Breville immersion blender essentially becomes a mini chopper/whisk with the included attachments. So grab this big food processor and the Breville immersion blender and you won't need anything else. Tiny NYC kitchen so I need to own workhorses, not gadgets.
I went through 2 Cuisinarts (blade cracked on both!) and finally got the Breville. I love it. One thing you didn't mention is the adjustable slicing disk, which gives many more slicing options. I also love the two-sided grating disk ( more options) and the feed tube in the front. The mini bowl is useful for chopping parsley, making mayo, etc. It is more expensive but the Cuisinart blade broke twice, which felt unsafe. I expect the Breville to last much longer than the Cuisinart.
So glad they had the foresight to buy the current model of the Cuisinart. So many times, people buy based on recommendation of the former build quality. It's a shame Cuisinart had to change something that did not require it.
It's nice to see these amazing machines being evaluated. I do not own one and I suspect I never will. I use hand tools such as knives and vegetable peelers. For mayo, purees, etc. I use a stick blender inside an old metal cocktail shaker. The video didn't cover the disassembly and cleaning of these, which is a deal-breaker for me. I spend only a little time cleaning up, and I like it that way.
@@AnimeReference water doesnt quite run the same way in the food processor as it does in a blender for some reason .. perhaps because of the blade design ... but it does help with cleaning nonetheless
I have the Breville. Replaced my old Cuisinart with it 2 years ago and haven’t looked back. I find the Breville easier to clean and it comes with all the accessories you need. I always found the Cuisinart kind of clunky to clean and put back together. I know everyone has their personal preference, but I much prefer the Breville’s fit to the stand.
That's good to know, thanks. My KitchenAid processor is still doing great work, but when the time comes to replace it, I'll look for the Breville machine. I have their immersion blender, which I love.
I agree! I've been through multiple Cuisinarts over the years and the Breville is my favorite by far. It is expensive but it does a much better job, is easier to clean, and that adjustable slicing blade is life-changing.
Wow! Good to know about the features of the Breville. May have to look into it. My old Cuisinart DLC-7 motor still works, but bowl is cracked. It IS a pain to wash. 😊
I just bought before Christmas a new Food Processor. It is the Cuisinart 13 Cup with a Dicing kit for $200. It also come with a 4.5 cup bowl too. I already made cheesecake and dice fruit. I made a Tropical Fruit Salad and dice up some honeydew melon. It did well. I would recommend this one too.
I have my mother's Cuisinart from the 70's. We've epoxied small plastic exterior parts that we broke on the container and it still runs like a charm. Now I think it's one of the few electric kitchen tools left standing besides our old blender that I was able to replace the seal on a few years ago.
It's as if corporations suddenly lost their schematics for made-to-last products. And they have the audacity to claim they care about the environment. Build the products to last and there won't be as much waste. Planned obsolescence was the only reason that I went to Ebay for an older, used food processor.
You can’t beat the original and the best MAGIMIX! The motor runs as smoothly as silk, rather than hot and screaming. The motors are of such excellent value they are guaranteed for 30 years! They are also made in France NOT China like the majority of others. The standard accessories are excellent, but the additional 'kits' available are of an extremely intelligent design and will serve their purpose well whatever your desired uses are. The blades and disks are made from surgical grade steel, they are super sharp so donor bruise the vegetable or fruit selection being used. I started with a mini, for a smart compact unit it has unbelievable grunt, the accessories are brilliant, including a citrus juicer with a small and large rose for doing small limes to grapefruit, it is the only juicer I’ve ever seen the gets every drop of juice out in a couple of seconds per half, and the safest for fingers also! I’ve done my research and spoken to a bunch of people who use them, both home and professional use, and I’ve decided to invest in the Magimix Cook Expert. Incredible machine with an enormously broad selection of applications. It has an induction cook plate so heat control is instantaneous. I was just going to get the 4200XL, not because of any issues with my mini, but due to the bowl size and accessory kits that are only produced for the full size models. After seeing the incredible versatility of the Cook Expert and it range of manual controllability in addition to its auto functions I’m sold. It is also the a 5200XL food processor, with all the optional accessory kits that work with it also, if so desired. My two other favourite appliances my VitaMix 750 Pro (Made in USA), and Bamix 200w Immersion Blender (Made in Switzerland) aka ‘ Stick Blenders'. I’ve had them for years, they get used all the time and I have never once been disappointed. Comparatively I have be frustrated to all heck when using similar products but different brands when at friend's/family's homes and giving them a hand in the kitchen. A very good friend of mine thinks the high end products are yuppies' toys, but she has been through three ‘stick blenders' because they’ve crapped out for regular use and my Bamix which I bought in the 80s is still working like a dream and is probably used more. The only maintenance on it is every couple of months I put a couple of drops of sewing machine oil down the shaft. I have paid more for the initial purchase, but the return on investment speaks for itself! The more economical ones are typically a false economy by comparison. It also depends how much use it is going to get. Amazingly people have these appliances and don’t appreciate the myriad of applications they have, just using a couple of their functions while doing other things manually, not nearly as quickly nor as efficiently. Always do your research, make sure you know the type and power of the mother - the most important part, not the colour or other aesthetic features, along with the quality and durability of the accessories.
Can we have an updated video and review on ‘small food processors’. The one you have is 3 years old. With so many new products and upgrades, it would be greatly appreciated.
I have the Breville 16-cup Sous Chef Peel & Dice. I've had it a few years now and absolutely love it. It performs brilliantly. The rest of the family has Cuisinarts of various ages. I find them more fiddly to use, and much prefer the feed slot adapters of my Breville. I also love the controls, especially the timer, which is handy for precise pulsing. My favorite thing about the Breville, though, is that it never, ever leaks around the stem, which was a big issue with my former KitchenAid processor, a more simple work horse that wore out after 25 years of service. As you said, the real downside of the Breville is the price. Were I to do it over, I would have bought the less expensive 16-cup sous chef, without the fancy peel & dice extras that I don't use as much as I thought I would. The one thing I dislike about the Breville is the solid handle. For the Cuisinart, I am sorry to say that two people I know who bought one in the last couple years experienced reliability issues. While I prefer my Breville, I have always considered the Cuisinart to be the the star of reliability. It makes me sad to see that crown slipping.
Thank you @Marta Aberg for this information. Need either to buy a new work bowl for my old Cuisinart DLC-7 or get a New Food Processor… shocked at the price of the Breville… but is sounds stellar. My old 40 year Cuisinart motor is still going strong!
Thank you for sharing this excellent point. I also bought the peel and dice model and after one time giving the peel/dice feature a try, I have never used that feature again. We just don’t eat potatoes all that much. While I absolutely love my Breville, the less expensive 16 cup sous chef model would have suited me just fine.
I was just wondering what Breville model they tested here and it seems like it’s the 12 cup model not the 16 cup model. The Breville 16 cup food processor seems pretty good. I wonder if it was amongst the ones tested here, would it surpass the Cuisinart 14 cup in performance and win?
Love the segments, I am in France and can't get the cuisinart model. Plugs and electricity different. How did the Magimix model do?. It has good revues here and easily available. Thank you for your feedback
Many of you raving about how great your old machines are need to realise things aren't made the same way today. So a person looking to purchase a FP today will not be getting the same quality. Planned obsolescence purposefully reduces the quality of so many items now. E.g. I remember the first colour tv my mum bought when I was a teenager. I ended up having it and it lasted for over 20yrs. Today my very expensive tv barely lasted 5 years. The same applies to everything.
yup I have a Cuisinart and if something happens and I need a part because I have had mine for over 10 years all I have to do is order one and it comes to me with no problem, I love my 14 cup Cuisinart
curious where/how the Magimix actually did if you don't consider the price. It's marketed kinda as the Vitamix of food processors and a pro sumer brand.It would seem to offer several additional features over all the others like, spiralizing, whipping, dough blade, fresh juicing etc. This review doesn't really address it at all, sadly. thanks
I've had 2 Cuisinarts. Motor went on the first one after about 5 years. Second one I've had for about 35 years. Have all the extra blades as well. Unfortunately, it does not do nut butter very well. Also, doesn't get the sides that well. Always have to stop and get whatever I'm making back into the center. Last use the blade flew off the pedestal and scraped pretty badly the sides and center plastic bowl. I went to replace the bowl and discovered cuisinart changed the design and the bowl will no longer lock. I'm going to try and switch to breville this time.
This did not seem like an honest review. But more a long form commercial for Cuisinart lol. I didn't learn anything about the other blenders. You wouldn't even say the name of the one that you thought sucked 😂. Which was the cheapest? Which is the best of a budget or a person who doesn't cook for a living? 1 outta 5 star reveiw for this reveiw.
Yes! As I was searching before black friday; I found WAY more good reviews on the Ninja and way more bad ones on the Cuisinart! I got a 12 cup Ninja for $100 after sale and coupon! So far I LOVE IT!
I have never had a food processor that I liked. I've just found that the various models I've owned were just horrible to breakdown and clean, and if I have to do multiple things during a recipe - chopping, mixing, blending - having to stop and scrub the bowel, lid and attachments was just a non-starter for me. I have a [low-end] Cusinart now that sits in the back of the utility cabinet. Since I am the chief cook and bottle washer in the house, I will opt for overall ease of use. Between a box grater, a good set of knives, a whisk and a good chopping board, I can do practically everything that a food processor can do, and be able to keep the utensils cleaned as I proceed through the cooking process.
I had the same problem as you - trying to clean the bowl was always a chore. But then I tried the Ninja food processor and was a convert. Unlike the others, the motor sits on top and it's a cinch to remove the blade and clean the mixing bowl.
The Magimix is hard to beat. I find it easier to clean than the Cuisinart and it has 3 different sized bowls so that mayonnaise is a breeze and it only takes up that square space on the countertop. I’ve had mine for over 20 years. A bit heavy though so needs to stay on the countertop. It does make dishes you would normally have to leave for the weekend possible weekday options.
Exactly. I think cleaning is a top issue. This video doesn't talk about it and I don't have a dishwasher anyway. I can't say that I've never had one that I liked. I got one for Xmas one year and never used it, and ended up giving it to someone else the next Xmas, still in the box. What I do have is a fantastic cutting board on a table with storage that came from a place called "Furniture in the Raw" which I assembled with the help of my six-year-old son. That was nearly 30 years ago, and it's still good although the wheels fell off somewhere along the line. P.S. Confidentially :-) You might want to correct the spelling in "scrub the bowel"...
I don't understand why you compared the small cheap 9 cup Kitchenaid with the larger 14 cup Cuisinart. I have the kitchenaid KFP1466, and it is amazing. I bought the large for its time Kitchenaid food processor 30 years ago, and after 30 years of constant use, it is now happily being used by my son and his family. Seems unfair
Yes, I thought this was odd too. I bought a large (I think twelve cup) Kitchenaid about ten years ago and it's a champ and still going strong. And it came with a mini-bowl too. And I like it far better than the Cusinart it replaced
It’s about $220 now, do prices go up when this page mentions them? I’m wondering if this food processor will go down in price to the $150 they mention or if it will just stay at $220. I am looking to buy a food processor but not sure if it’s worth waiting for the price to go down or if it even will to the $150.
I’d like to hear about the appliances you use in your actual kitchen and how they hold up. I’m all about durability. I want to own a machine for years. While I’m sure you put these appliances through their paces, I’d like to hear about long term use
Avoid KitchenAid for food processors. Unless they've addressed the issues in the past several years, there are quite a few design flaws. I'll definitely be investing in a Cuisinart for my next one.
@@m.gendron9966 you are correct! I wanted a new lid for my 14 cup Kitchenaid and discovered that they no longer supply replacement parts for my model. I’ve been looking at getting a Cuisinart as a replacement but in Canada they are almost $400!
Where is the processors with dicing attachments and French fry cut attachments like the Breville sous chef and the one made by kitchen aid. These are the two that I was anxious to see put to the test and comparisons.
I LOVE the Breville sous chef! I have to admit I use the dicing and French fry attachments much less than I thought I would, but wow, diced fresh melon is fabulous. The best things about it are the adjustable slicing disk and the two-sided grating disk. The slicing disk is easy to clean because you can open it wide and any stuck pieces come out. Strong motor, multiple sizes of feed tube, pretty easy to clean, feed tube on the front instead of the back, included mini bowl all make the Breville great if you can live with the price. I decided that I deserve it!
I have that winning Cuisinart. It's at least 30 years old. I rarely use it. I DO use a mini cuisinart that is called something "PLUS." It does the jobs I need and isn't TOO much of a hassle to clean. I prefer a sharp knife and a good cutting board for most prep work.
I have the cusineart 9 cup processer. The base bowl is broken and I need a new one. I have searched the Internet, amazon and cusineart but no one has parts. So does anyone have a source that I can buy this bowl from. I live in Canada.
I had a Braun in the 90s that I quit using and gave away because a knife and cutting board were so much simpler and easier and quicker to clean, plus a knife needs no extra storage space. (I got rid of our rice-maker for the same reasons.) Last week, though, my spouse and I decided to try a food processor again for making our own hummus and for larger grating and chopping jobs. Based on ATK’s recommendation, we purchased the 14-cup Cuisinart. Fingers-crossed it doesn’t end up in the small kitchen appliances graveyard.
Years ago I bought a Kitchen Aid. It was one of their top of the line and has a motor they claim will last forever. I believe the motor will last forever but the plastic bowl and lid have been bad and have cracked and kitchen aid has discontinued the model and don’t sell replacement parts. I have a great machine and a really bad bowl and lid. When just using the bowl it’s ok but you can’t use the grater blades as the lid keeps chipping .
My bowl has been glued multiple times and the mechanism in the handle falls out and I have to reposition it, otherwise the machine will not run, though it is in perfect condition. It is a 2009 model I believe, or earlier. My heart is settled on the Breville sous chef if ever I can afford it.
My Mom has a Kenmore (Sears) processor. A workhorse. Easy to use, easy to clean, easy to store. I don't know how old it is, but since it is a Kenmore, it could be 15-20 years.
I have that processor, a little older but looks the same and I’ve had to replace the bowl twice because the plastic part that locks the bowl breaks off. It’s getting too expensive to replace.
Love you guys! Unfortunately this is the first time I believe you got it wrong. You should have tested the Breville 16 cup pro as well. No comparison to any other. I purchased the Cuisineart from viewing this video and used it 1x to make pesto. Disaster. The bowl stem has a hole in it so your are extremely limited to the quantity you can make with any liquid based recipe and makes for pouring contents out of bowl a messy nightmare. IMHO a big miss by the TK.
Still have my KitchenAid Proline Series food processor with 3 work bowls, 16, 13 cups and smaller work bowl I bought in 2004. The small bowl is not made anymore...so now I'm looking at Vitamix food processor which is NOT reviewed above.
I'm hoping that you can test the cuisinart elemental 11-cup food processor with dicing kit and adjustable slicing disc compared to other similar models. I'm from Ontario, Canada, not that it makes any difference. Thank you in advance.
Most of what food processors do can be done without one, without any sort of electrical device, sometimes just as fast, and if you include cleanup-time - faster. You can use a food processor to grind nuts into nut-butter. You can also do this in a coffee-grinder-spice-grinder, but only in a much smaller batch size. Kneading dough for bread? Yes a food processor will do it faster than doing it by hand on a cutting board, but if you include the clean-up time - hand kneading is faster. With a board, you just wipe down the board when you are done, with a damp cloth. With a food processor, several little pieces with hard to corners that are hard to reach and hard to clean, will need to be cleaned. .
I just purchased one, I have a large cuicinart but is very heavy and clunky and we are jut two people , I also have a mini one , I use it for chopping some garlic or parsley, and in general I don’t use it , I don’t like extra cleaning for two cloves of garlick😅. I think this 8 cup one is just right.
I am curious how a head to head would result between the Cuisinart and the Magi-Mix. I have a Cuisinart but I am interested in the Magi-Mix by Robot Coupe.
ATK has been around for a long time - and over that time lots of people have purchased items based on the ATK recommendation that are no longer the test winner. I have a Kitchen Aid Food processor that was recommended decades ago - and I see no reason why I need a new one for what I use it for. BUT - is there something about the new ones - an additional feature for instance - that would make me want to replace my machine -thankfully the Cuisinart machine recommended is a basic machine and I can do anything it can do with mine. But for example - also decades ago - the Tramontina Dutch OVen was a BEST BUY - and I have three of them that still look new -I never considered buying a Le Creuset and I do not regret that decision = In fact - Costco and Sams club have had MY Tramontina Dutch oven on sale over the last two years at around $50. I can buy 6 of them and get change for the price of the Le Creuset. Again - There does not seem to be a real reason to replace my dutch ovens with more expensive ones.
I really wish you'd compare food processors with the DICING blade. I have the Kitchenaid Pro Line model, and I would like an improved dicing blade over the one I have. I think I've heard the Breville comes with a better dicer? This feature is a must-have for my food processor.
Grab a handheld dicing tool that has a Madeline blade as well. The Breville dicing/peeling set up is clearly going to be a lot of work and not dice everything you want to dice.
I have been using kitchen tools for at least 20 years and have been dealing with the container not lifting up and always getting stuck. Sooo iritating. I finally found ATK and I just ordered the cuisinart from Amazon. I believe in ATK when they test anything. Wish I had you 30 years ago on youtube! Anyway when it comes in I will let you know how it is. I use mined at least 2-3 times a week. Thank you for doing the testing for me, so I donʻt have to buy another dead beat! Mahalo
I had that cuisinart and the darn thing broke at the place where it connects in back to engage the blade. (on the outside in back) I was told I could never get a replacement BY Cuisinart!! The only way I could get it to work was by setting it up to use, and turning the top just slightly to clear the connection, and stick a wooden skewer down into it. It would snap back when it engaged. Kinda dangerous? I finally threw it away and have not bought another processor again. Still would love one tho
If you're not requiring a specific color Cuisinart you can catch them on sale. I caught the black stainless model on sale at Amazon last year for $135. Never buy small appliances near the holidays unless they are discounted below normal msrp. They markup well above msrp in advance to make a sale price of msrp look like a savings for holiday sales.
My Breville died after a few years of gentle use. I’m done with that brand. Selling it for parts. I have a Cuisinart 7 cup pro on the way which has a 5 year warranty on the motor. Perfect 👍🏻
Is there a review on ‘mini’ food processors for smaller kitchens? Something you can put away in the cupboard regularly that doesn’t take too much countertop space?
Not sure when or where you bought the Cuisinart, but I got mine on Amazon and the bottom blade sits almost flush with the work bowl...maybe you got a defective blade??
I believe they alluded to the answer to this question but i'll ask it anyway just to be sure. Does the Breville sous chef 12 plus make good pizza dough? I tried to make some with a stand mixer and it was a big fail, lmao. I actually think I know what I did wrong...but still, ha. I remembered I have a cuisinart bread machine with a dough program and I just did that today and will use the dough friday (hopefully) but I was reading comments about FP's and pizza dough and couldn't find much on my FB, just how great the cuisinart was. So, if anyone knows, how id the Breville at making pizza dough. THanks.
Oh well, this test is about a month too late for me. I had a Braun processor that only lasted a couple of years - it simply died when I tried to grate some hard cheese. I was going to take up the issue with Braun, but thought it would be more fun to trash it into a hundred pieces! I refused to spend so much money again, so I bought a simple GE model. So far, so good.
I bought a GE last year as an emergency replacement when my 24 yr old Cuisinart Custom Pro 11 died. $99 on sale. I like the GE better. Less fiddly, quicker to set up, cleans by rinsing under the tap. It's light as a feather -- I can move it to different work spots in the kitchen. Suction cup feet make it stick in place. The attachments are good, especially the emulsifier & the mini bowl. The feed tube is too small, the pulse is laggy, the chopping blade wont give you a precise, even, & fine sofrito. ATK wouldn't like it. But it's so quick & easy to use & does the job well enough, that it's far more useful for day to day, family style cooking than my old premium machine. When it breaks, I'll invest in a Breville, but probably will miss much about the easy GE.

Thanks for that info.
I've got a kitchenaid and would not recommend it for food processing. It works alright, but leaves a lot to be desired
I love it when someone leaves a bad review on Google or yelp and the “owner” responds with “please contact our corporate office for more information…”. Like really ? How about the owner offers some resolution instead of lip service.
SHAME on KitchenAid!
In mid sixties the Engineers designed product to be last life long . But now the companies want you to by newe model every year .
When my 1984 Cuisinart died I did my research and bought the top of the line Breville. I bought all of the attachments and I love it!!!!
I've started using our family's food processor we have had since I was a little kid. It's a Cuisinart and on the bottom of it there is a metal stamp saying it was made in France August 1981. So that has definitely stood the test of time
For mayonnaise in the Cuisinart: place the processor on a cutting board and tilt it at the beginning of the recipe to allow the lower blade to work on the yolk and first bit of the emulsion. Then, as the volume increases, you can continue on level surface 👍
Or you could just buy an old DLC-7 blade from the 80s, since the Custom 14 still uses that stem.

The best by miles.
For small families it would be nice if you could do a review of med size food processors. Say 5 to 9 cup instead of the mini's or big boys. Thanks
The thing I find frustrating about Cusinart processors is that sooner or later they always seem to end up with mold in the handle and or rubber lid seal. When you contact their service centre they say you can't take these apart to clean them and you just need to buy a new part. I'm on my third bowl and second lid and have now paid more in replacement parts than the machine cost. Why can't they make it so you can clean anywhere that water can get in?
Wish y’all would have included the vitamix food processor attachment.
I have the Breville and I LOVE IT. It’s pricey but worth the investment. My mom brought me a Kitchenaide for Christmas one year and I had a similar problem with it like they did (it started to smoke on me. The motor isn’t strong enough). My lovely husband replaced it with the Breville. It’s a workhorse and it definitely makes life easier. I’ve put the Breville through a lot and it hasn’t failed me yet. It has a strong motor and pulsing is responsive. Clean up is simple. I honestly do not have any complaints about the Breville food processor.
I bought one too, Love it!
It's more than double the cost of the Cuisinart.
@@therightway2130 And worth every penny!
Breville wins hands down in my book. I gave my Cuisinart away after trying the Breville.
my breville sous chef is the best piece of equipment i’ve ever owned
I don't why you would use a food processor for mayo when you can use an inmersion blender that's easier to clean.
i made mayo last night in my ninja... delicious
When I tried to use mine for it, it made a huge mess because it was too powerful. Also, I guess I needed a taller container, so the learning curve is there.
I have a very old cuisiart and a new kitchen aid, I always go back to my cuisinart. It does an awesome job.
Thanks for sharing!
For those looking, I'm pretty sure this was filmed a little while ago. The Cuisinart Custom 14 is now $200.
It's been $199 for the last decade. It's very weird that Adam would say they got it for $150.
Well, it has a retail price of $349.00 here in Canada. Rather shocking price!
@@sus1221 $249
I have a Cuisinart and I love it. It’s probably close to 20 years old if not older. A great work horse
I’ve had a Cuisinart since 1979-not a skip, not a blip. Mayo in mine is a dream.
I love my Breville and really appreciate the adjustable slicer blade which can slice paper thin or about 1/4” thick. Very powerful and reliable.
How is the cleaning ? I detest equipment that takes twice as long to clean it than it took to process the foos through it. With the adjustable blade, is it difficult to get it clean?
@@karenreneelyles261 it’s easy and quick to clean.
Would have been cool to know what you tested and see how each one stacked up
I really wish you would test other Cuisinart models. I have a Cuisinart Elemental 11 Cup unit and I would not change it for your winner, as mine has something I consider to be an indispensable feature, and that is an adjustable slicing blade. It can go from paper thin slices to much thicker slices that your winner, and few other food processors on the market for that matter, cannot come close to. Yes, you can purchase other blades for your winning model, but why should I have to find storage for multiple blades when an adjustable blade does exactly what I need? I know you will not give it a high rating, however, as it lacks an induction motor which your winner does have, and is the reason for its ultra responsive pulse button and for it being a very quiet machine. But I can live with a slightly longer pulse and the extra noise for the adjustable slicing blade.
My wife and I were just talking about what food processor we should get! Thanks for doing the research.
I've been relying on ATK since you were a series on OPB.
And I can Still rely on you people!
Excellent advice!
My grandma has the old favourite Cuisinart. It’s almost 50 years old. The blade is cracked, but it’s still runs like a champion! My parents own the Magimix beautiful machine, but the lid is a pain to clean. I own one of the breville machines, motor is fantastic. I had price constraints so that’s what I got, but any of the Cuisinart, Magimix, or breville machines are fantastic
Before even watching the video - it's the Cuisinart - it always wins.
*I love my Hamilton Beach Food Processor.*
*Blades still sharp after 3 years* 😊👍
I use an immersion blender to make mayo; it’s easier, way faster, and way less clean up. TFS.
Kenji has a great video showing how to do it with the immersion blender
Agreed! The immersion blender does many things neater and faster!
@@sandrah7512 surely, but why would they buy $150 food processor, then?
agreed, if it is between 150 dollar cuisanart and 330 breville just to make mayo, buy a 30 dollar stick blender
The Breville immersion blender essentially becomes a mini chopper/whisk with the included attachments. So grab this big food processor and the Breville immersion blender and you won't need anything else. Tiny NYC kitchen so I need to own workhorses, not gadgets.
I went through 2 Cuisinarts (blade cracked on both!) and finally got the Breville. I love it. One thing you didn't mention is the adjustable slicing disk, which gives many more slicing options. I also love the two-sided grating disk ( more options) and the feed tube in the front. The mini bowl is useful for chopping parsley, making mayo, etc. It is more expensive but the Cuisinart blade broke twice, which felt unsafe. I expect the Breville to last much longer than the Cuisinart.
Thank you. had something similar and thinking of switching to breville.
So glad they had the foresight to buy the current model of the Cuisinart. So many times, people buy based on recommendation of the former build quality. It's a shame Cuisinart had to change something that did not require it.
It's nice to see these amazing machines being evaluated. I do not own one and I suspect I never will. I use hand tools such as knives and vegetable peelers. For mayo, purees, etc. I use a stick blender inside an old metal cocktail shaker. The video didn't cover the disassembly and cleaning of these, which is a deal-breaker for me. I spend only a little time cleaning up, and I like it that way.
I assume much like a blender you can process soapy water once you're done to clean it fairly quick.
@@AnimeReference water doesnt quite run the same way in the food processor as it does in a blender for some reason .. perhaps because of the blade design ... but it does help with cleaning nonetheless
I enjoy Julia's personality during these segments!
💯 👏
YES, me too!! 😊
I have the Breville. Replaced my old Cuisinart with it 2 years ago and haven’t looked back. I find the Breville easier to clean and it comes with all the accessories you need. I always found the Cuisinart kind of clunky to clean and put back together. I know everyone has their personal preference, but I much prefer the Breville’s fit to the stand.
That's good to know, thanks. My KitchenAid processor is still doing great work, but when the time comes to replace it, I'll look for the Breville machine. I have their immersion blender, which I love.
I agree! I've been through multiple Cuisinarts over the years and the Breville is my favorite by far. It is expensive but it does a much better job, is easier to clean, and that adjustable slicing blade is life-changing.
Wow! Good to know about the features of the Breville. May have to look into it. My old Cuisinart DLC-7 motor still works, but bowl is cracked. It IS a pain to wash. 😊
I just bought before Christmas a new Food Processor. It is the Cuisinart 13 Cup with a Dicing kit for $200. It also come with a 4.5 cup bowl too. I already made cheesecake and dice fruit. I made a Tropical Fruit Salad and dice up some honeydew melon. It did well. I would recommend this one too.
I am looking for a new food processor. How is the Cuisinart holding up?
.Test all you want; from my experience, it's Breville, hands down.
I have my mother's Cuisinart from the 70's. We've epoxied small plastic exterior parts that we broke on the container and it still runs like a charm. Now I think it's one of the few electric kitchen tools left standing besides our old blender that I was able to replace the seal on a few years ago.
It's as if corporations suddenly lost their schematics for made-to-last products. And they have the audacity to claim they care about the environment. Build the products to last and there won't be as much waste. Planned obsolescence was the only reason that I went to Ebay for an older, used food processor.
You can’t beat the original and the best MAGIMIX!
The motor runs as smoothly as silk, rather than hot and screaming.
The motors are of such excellent value they are guaranteed for 30 years!
They are also made in France NOT China like the majority of others.
The standard accessories are excellent, but the additional 'kits' available are of an extremely intelligent design and will serve their purpose well whatever your desired uses are.
The blades and disks are made from surgical grade steel, they are super sharp so donor bruise the vegetable or fruit selection being used.
I started with a mini, for a smart compact unit it has unbelievable grunt, the accessories are brilliant, including a citrus juicer with a small and large rose for doing small limes to grapefruit, it is the only juicer I’ve ever seen the gets every drop of juice out in a couple of seconds per half, and the safest for fingers also!
I’ve done my research and spoken to a bunch of people who use them, both home and professional use, and I’ve decided to invest in the Magimix Cook Expert.
Incredible machine with an enormously broad selection of applications.
It has an induction cook plate so heat control is instantaneous.
I was just going to get the 4200XL, not because of any issues with my mini, but due to the bowl size and accessory kits that are only produced for the full size models.
After seeing the incredible versatility of the Cook Expert and it range of manual controllability in addition to its auto functions I’m sold. It is also the a 5200XL food processor, with all the optional accessory kits that work with it also, if so desired.
My two other favourite appliances my VitaMix 750 Pro (Made in USA), and Bamix 200w Immersion Blender (Made in Switzerland) aka ‘ Stick Blenders'.
I’ve had them for years, they get used all the time and I have never once been disappointed.
Comparatively I have be frustrated to all heck when using similar products but different brands when at friend's/family's homes and giving them a hand in the kitchen.
A very good friend of mine thinks the high end products are yuppies' toys, but she has been through three ‘stick blenders' because they’ve crapped out for regular use and my Bamix which I bought in the 80s is still working like a dream and is probably used more.
The only maintenance on it is every couple of months I put a couple of drops of sewing machine oil down the shaft.
I have paid more for the initial purchase, but the return on investment speaks for itself! The more economical ones are typically a false economy by comparison.
It also depends how much use it is going to get.
Amazingly people have these appliances and don’t appreciate the myriad of applications they have, just using a couple of their functions while doing other things manually, not nearly as quickly nor as efficiently.
Always do your research, make sure you know the type and power of the mother - the most important part, not the colour or other aesthetic features, along with the quality and durability of the accessories.
I have the 12 cup cuisinart with 4 cup bowl and have been very happy with it.
Magimix is the Rolls-Royce of food processors. ATK is bought by Cuisinart.
Can we have an updated video and review on ‘small food processors’. The one you have is 3 years old. With so many new products and upgrades, it would be greatly appreciated.
I have the Breville 16-cup Sous Chef Peel & Dice. I've had it a few years now and absolutely love it. It performs brilliantly. The rest of the family has Cuisinarts of various ages. I find them more fiddly to use, and much prefer the feed slot adapters of my Breville. I also love the controls, especially the timer, which is handy for precise pulsing. My favorite thing about the Breville, though, is that it never, ever leaks around the stem, which was a big issue with my former KitchenAid processor, a more simple work horse that wore out after 25 years of service. As you said, the real downside of the Breville is the price. Were I to do it over, I would have bought the less expensive 16-cup sous chef, without the fancy peel & dice extras that I don't use as much as I thought I would. The one thing I dislike about the Breville is the solid handle. For the Cuisinart, I am sorry to say that two people I know who bought one in the last couple years experienced reliability issues. While I prefer my Breville, I have always considered the Cuisinart to be the the star of reliability. It makes me sad to see that crown slipping.
Thank you @Marta Aberg for this information. Need either to buy a new work bowl for my old Cuisinart DLC-7 or get a New Food Processor… shocked at the price of the Breville… but is sounds stellar. My old 40 year Cuisinart motor is still going strong!
Thank you for sharing this excellent point. I also bought the peel and dice model and after one time giving the peel/dice feature a try, I have never used that feature again. We just don’t eat potatoes all that much. While I absolutely love my Breville, the less expensive 16 cup sous chef model would have suited me just fine.
I was just wondering what Breville model they tested here and it seems like it’s the 12 cup model not the 16 cup model. The Breville 16 cup food processor seems pretty good. I wonder if it was amongst the ones tested here, would it surpass the Cuisinart 14 cup in performance and win?
Love the segments, I am in France and can't get the cuisinart model. Plugs and electricity different. How did the Magimix model do?. It has good revues here and easily available. Thank you for your feedback
Many of you raving about how great your old machines are need to realise things aren't made the same way today. So a person looking to purchase a FP today will not be getting the same quality. Planned obsolescence purposefully reduces the quality of so many items now.
E.g. I remember the first colour tv my mum bought when I was a teenager. I ended up having it and it lasted for over 20yrs. Today my very expensive tv barely lasted 5 years. The same applies to everything.
yup I have a Cuisinart and if something happens and I need a part because I have had mine for over 10 years all I have to do is order one and it comes to me with no problem, I love my 14 cup Cuisinart
curious where/how the Magimix actually did if you don't consider the price. It's marketed kinda as the Vitamix of food processors and a pro sumer brand.It would seem to offer several additional features over all the others like, spiralizing, whipping, dough blade, fresh juicing etc. This review doesn't really address it at all, sadly. thanks
I've had 2 Cuisinarts. Motor went on the first one after about 5 years. Second one I've had for about 35 years. Have all the extra blades as well. Unfortunately, it does not do nut butter very well. Also, doesn't get the sides that well. Always have to stop and get whatever I'm making back into the center. Last use the blade flew off the pedestal and scraped pretty badly the sides and center plastic bowl. I went to replace the bowl and discovered cuisinart changed the design and the bowl will no longer lock. I'm going to try and switch to breville this time.
This did not seem like an honest review. But more a long form commercial for Cuisinart lol. I didn't learn anything about the other blenders. You wouldn't even say the name of the one that you thought sucked 😂. Which was the cheapest? Which is the best of a budget or a person who doesn't cook for a living? 1 outta 5 star reveiw for this reveiw.
perhaps a stupid question, BUT, why the Ninja 850 watts is not in the list? I have read very good reviews about that particular model.
Yes! As I was searching before black friday; I found WAY more good reviews on the Ninja and way more bad ones on the Cuisinart! I got a 12 cup Ninja for $100 after sale and coupon!
So far I LOVE IT!
I have never had a food processor that I liked. I've just found that the various models I've owned were just horrible to breakdown and clean, and if I have to do multiple things during a recipe - chopping, mixing, blending - having to stop and scrub the bowel, lid and attachments was just a non-starter for me. I have a [low-end] Cusinart now that sits in the back of the utility cabinet.
Since I am the chief cook and bottle washer in the house, I will opt for overall ease of use. Between a box grater, a good set of knives, a whisk and a good chopping board, I can do practically everything that a food processor can do, and be able to keep the utensils cleaned as I proceed through the cooking process.
I had the same problem as you - trying to clean the bowl was always a chore.
But then I tried the Ninja food processor and was a convert. Unlike the others, the motor sits on top and it's a cinch to remove the blade and clean the mixing bowl.
With all those tools, you ARE the food processor.
The Magimix is hard to beat. I find it easier to clean than the Cuisinart and it has 3 different sized bowls so that mayonnaise is a breeze and it only takes up that square space on the countertop. I’ve had mine for over 20 years. A bit heavy though so needs to stay on the countertop. It does make dishes you would normally have to leave for the weekend possible weekday options.
Exactly. I think cleaning is a top issue. This video doesn't talk about it and I don't have a dishwasher anyway. I can't say that I've never had one that I liked. I got one for Xmas one year and never used it, and ended up giving it to someone else the next Xmas, still in the box. What I do have is a fantastic cutting board on a table with storage that came from a place called "Furniture in the Raw" which I assembled with the help of my six-year-old son. That was nearly 30 years ago, and it's still good although the wheels fell off somewhere along the line.
P.S. Confidentially :-) You might want to correct the spelling in "scrub the bowel"...
I have had a Cuisinart Custom 11 for over 20 years. It is a beast and has never disappointed me.
The plastic parts can break. But mine is 30 years old.
What about the Ninja XL food processor l love it!!!
The Breville is hands down better than the Cuisinart. I love it so much more! It’s worth the extra $$.
totally agree!!!
@@elizab3230 so do I
Why exactly?
better, stronger, faster, kinda like the Six Million Dollar Man
@@elizab3230 okay thanks
Does anyone know what year Cuisin Art changed their model? And how can I buy the older version?
I don't understand why you compared the small cheap 9 cup Kitchenaid with the larger 14 cup Cuisinart. I have the kitchenaid KFP1466, and it is amazing. I bought the large for its time Kitchenaid food processor 30 years ago, and after 30 years of constant use, it is now happily being used by my son and his family. Seems unfair
Yes, I thought this was odd too. I bought a large (I think twelve cup) Kitchenaid about ten years ago and it's a champ and still going strong. And it came with a mini-bowl too. And I like it far better than the Cusinart it replaced
It’s about $220 now, do prices go up when this page mentions them? I’m wondering if this food processor will go down in price to the $150 they mention or if it will just stay at $220. I am looking to buy a food processor but not sure if it’s worth waiting for the price to go down or if it even will to the $150.
I noticed that too. I am wondering if they misspoke, as otherwise that is a huge price jump in just a couple months.
I’d like to hear about the appliances you use in your actual kitchen and how they hold up. I’m all about durability. I want to own a machine for years. While I’m sure you put these appliances through their paces, I’d like to hear about long term use
I think ATK uses their winners in the actual test kitchen. Idk if it matches up to home cook use, but I'm sure it does speak to durability
Avoid KitchenAid for food processors. Unless they've addressed the issues in the past several years, there are quite a few design flaws. I'll definitely be investing in a Cuisinart for my next one.
Parts can be hard to find.
@@m.gendron9966 you are correct! I wanted a new lid for my 14 cup Kitchenaid and discovered that they no longer supply replacement parts for my model. I’ve been looking at getting a Cuisinart as a replacement but in Canada they are almost $400!
Excellently prepared review.
Where is the processors with dicing attachments and French fry cut attachments like the Breville sous chef and the one made by kitchen aid. These are the two that I was anxious to see put to the test and comparisons.
I LOVE the Breville sous chef! I have to admit I use the dicing and French fry attachments much less than I thought I would, but wow, diced fresh melon is fabulous. The best things about it are the adjustable slicing disk and the two-sided grating disk. The slicing disk is easy to clean because you can open it wide and any stuck pieces come out. Strong motor, multiple sizes of feed tube, pretty easy to clean, feed tube on the front instead of the back, included mini bowl all make the Breville great if you can live with the price. I decided that I deserve it!
I have that winning Cuisinart. It's at least 30 years old. I rarely use it. I DO use a mini cuisinart that is called something "PLUS." It does the jobs I need and isn't TOO much of a hassle to clean. I prefer a sharp knife and a good cutting board for most prep work.
@@newlin83: Yes...I suppose so.
I have the cusineart 9 cup processer. The base bowl is broken and I need a new one. I have searched the Internet, amazon and cusineart but no one has parts. So does anyone have a source that I can buy this bowl from. I live in Canada.
Thank you!!
I had a Braun in the 90s that I quit using and gave away because a knife and cutting board were so much simpler and easier and quicker to clean, plus a knife needs no extra storage space. (I got rid of our rice-maker for the same reasons.) Last week, though, my spouse and I decided to try a food processor again for making our own hummus and for larger grating and chopping jobs. Based on ATK’s recommendation, we purchased the 14-cup Cuisinart. Fingers-crossed it doesn’t end up in the small kitchen appliances graveyard.
Years ago I bought a Kitchen Aid. It was one of their top of the line and has a motor they claim will last forever. I believe the motor will last forever but the plastic bowl and lid have been bad and have cracked and kitchen aid has discontinued the model and don’t sell replacement parts. I have a great machine and a really bad bowl and lid. When just using the bowl it’s ok but you can’t use the grater blades as the lid keeps chipping .
My bowl has been glued multiple times and the mechanism in the handle falls out and I have to reposition it, otherwise the machine will not run, though it is in perfect condition. It is a 2009 model I believe, or earlier. My heart is settled on the Breville sous chef if ever I can afford it.
I’m in search of a new food processor for the same reason! It’s such a waste when the motor is still in good working order. 😕
We’ve had our Cuisinart DLC-14 for 32 years. I’d recommend it
My Mom has a Kenmore (Sears) processor. A workhorse. Easy to use, easy to clean, easy to store. I don't know how old it is, but since it is a Kenmore, it could be 15-20 years.
I have that processor, a little older but looks the same and I’ve had to replace the bowl twice because the plastic part that locks the bowl breaks off. It’s getting too expensive to replace.
I have that Cuisinart! AND... I don't like mayonnaise, so Yay!!!
Mayonnaise is the devil’s grease.
Love you guys! Unfortunately this is the first time I believe you got it wrong. You should have tested the Breville 16 cup pro as well. No comparison to any other. I purchased the Cuisineart from viewing this video and used it 1x to make pesto. Disaster. The bowl stem has a hole in it so your are extremely limited to the quantity you can make with any liquid based recipe and makes for pouring contents out of bowl a messy nightmare. IMHO a big miss by the TK.
Still have my KitchenAid Proline Series food processor with 3 work bowls, 16, 13 cups and smaller work bowl I bought in 2004. The small bowl is not made anymore...so now I'm looking at Vitamix food processor which is NOT reviewed above.
I'm hoping that you can test the cuisinart elemental 11-cup food processor with dicing kit and adjustable slicing disc compared to other similar models. I'm from Ontario, Canada, not that it makes any difference. Thank you in advance.
Most of what food processors do can be done without one, without any sort of electrical device, sometimes just as fast, and if you include cleanup-time - faster. You can use a food processor to grind nuts into nut-butter. You can also do this in a coffee-grinder-spice-grinder, but only in a much smaller batch size. Kneading dough for bread? Yes a food processor will do it faster than doing it by hand on a cutting board, but if you include the clean-up time - hand kneading is faster. With a board, you just wipe down the board when you are done, with a damp cloth. With a food processor, several little pieces with hard to corners that are hard to reach and hard to clean, will need to be cleaned. .
I just purchased one, I have a large cuicinart but is very heavy and clunky and we are jut two people , I also have a mini one , I use it for chopping some garlic or parsley, and in general I don’t use it , I don’t like extra cleaning for two cloves of garlick😅. I think this 8 cup one is just right.
I am curious how a head to head would result between the Cuisinart and the Magi-Mix. I have a Cuisinart but I am interested in the Magi-Mix by Robot Coupe.
Probably not much of a difference. Did you know the original Magimixes were just rebadged Cuisinarts? Robot-Coupe made both.
The winner was costing about $300 doing a pandemic and now it's down to $200 I have never seen it for $150
Perfect timing. I have been wanting one to replace my 20 yo processor.
Get the Breville. It’s design is so much better!
love that he uses metric units; precision and simplicity!! I like cuisinart and have had one of their hand blenders for over a decade!!!
But Cuisinart FP1300BE also has a smaller bowl.. And honestly I think the test is not fair if you compare the 9 cup with a 14 cup model 🤷♂
ATK has been around for a long time - and over that time lots of people have purchased items based on the ATK recommendation that are no longer the test winner. I have a Kitchen Aid Food processor that was recommended decades ago - and I see no reason why I need a new one for what I use it for. BUT - is there something about the new ones - an additional feature for instance - that would make me want to replace my machine -thankfully the Cuisinart machine recommended is a basic machine and I can do anything it can do with mine. But for example - also decades ago - the Tramontina Dutch OVen was a BEST BUY - and I have three of them that still look new -I never considered buying a Le Creuset and I do not regret that decision = In fact - Costco and Sams club have had MY Tramontina Dutch oven on sale over the last two years at around $50. I can buy 6 of them and get change for the price of the Le Creuset. Again - There does not seem to be a real reason to replace my dutch ovens with more expensive ones.
I really wish you'd compare food processors with the DICING blade. I have the Kitchenaid Pro Line model, and I would like an improved dicing blade over the one I have. I think I've heard the Breville comes with a better dicer? This feature is a must-have for my food processor.
Grab a handheld dicing tool that has a Madeline blade as well. The Breville dicing/peeling set up is clearly going to be a lot of work and not dice everything you want to dice.
I so appreciate these segments
I have been using kitchen tools for at least 20 years and have been dealing with the container not lifting up and always getting stuck. Sooo iritating. I finally found ATK and I just ordered the cuisinart from Amazon. I believe in ATK when they test anything. Wish I had you 30 years ago on youtube! Anyway when it comes in I will let you know how it is. I use mined at least 2-3 times a week. Thank you for doing the testing for me, so I donʻt have to buy another dead beat! Mahalo
I like your job and which one is better about blender and processor togheter
I had that cuisinart and the darn thing broke at the place where it connects in back to engage the blade. (on the outside in back) I was told I could never get a replacement BY Cuisinart!! The only way I could get it to work was by setting it up to use, and turning the top just slightly to clear the connection, and stick a wooden skewer down into it. It would snap back when it engaged. Kinda dangerous? I finally threw it away and have not bought another processor again. Still would love one tho
Where’d they buy it for $150?
$ 199 on Amazon :)
That's what I'd like to know!
If you're not requiring a specific color Cuisinart you can catch them on sale. I caught the black stainless model on sale at Amazon last year for $135. Never buy small appliances near the holidays unless they are discounted below normal msrp. They markup well above msrp in advance to make a sale price of msrp look like a savings for holiday sales.
amazon seems to raise the price on everything ATK recommends.
i'd try elsewhere.
@@jstaffordii Well, that's a pro tip. Excellent
My Breville died after a few years of gentle use. I’m done with that brand. Selling it for parts. I have a Cuisinart 7 cup pro on the way which has a 5 year warranty on the motor. Perfect 👍🏻
You mentioned you got the 14 cup Cusinart for $150 but I'm seeing it on Amazon for $250. Has the price increased over the last 10 months?
I find the lid and changing the hardware very frustrating
I would like to know where the custom 14 cup cuisinart is for $150? Everywhere is minimum $100 more.
Where can I get find the pizza Legere dough recipe?
Didn't see the $35 processor Adam says in this review. Also, no review of the Ninja BN 601 which I have and I love and is only about $100 (Amazon).
I've heard the Ninja's are pretty good, any thoughts?
I thought the cuisinart 14 was discontinued. Does anyone know where to get one
Is there a review on ‘mini’ food processors for smaller kitchens? Something you can put away in the cupboard regularly that doesn’t take too much countertop space?
There is Cruisinart 8 cup and 4 cup food processor. I just purchased the 8 cup.
They did that 3 years ago:
ua-cam.com/video/aIVfJSTCHIM/v-deo.html
@@MumrikDK thank you :)
Not sure when or where you bought the Cuisinart, but I got mine on Amazon and the bottom blade sits almost flush with the work bowl...maybe you got a defective blade??
I believe they alluded to the answer to this question but i'll ask it anyway just to be sure. Does the Breville sous chef 12 plus make good pizza dough? I tried to make some with a stand mixer and it was a big fail, lmao. I actually think I know what I did wrong...but still, ha. I remembered I have a cuisinart bread machine with a dough program and I just did that today and will use the dough friday (hopefully) but I was reading comments about FP's and pizza dough and couldn't find much on my FB, just how great the cuisinart was.
So, if anyone knows, how id the Breville at making pizza dough. THanks.
Which one should I get?
Which one is the best?
Oh well, this test is about a month too late for me. I had a Braun processor that only lasted a couple of years - it simply died when I tried to grate some hard cheese. I was going to take up the issue with Braun, but thought it would be more fun to trash it into a hundred pieces! I refused to spend so much money again, so I bought a simple GE model. So far, so good.
G.E. STUFF WORKS GREAT. AND THEY ARE PRICED WAY LESS.
I bought a GE last year as an emergency replacement when my 24 yr old Cuisinart Custom Pro 11 died. $99 on sale. I like the GE better. Less fiddly, quicker to set up, cleans by rinsing under the tap. It's light as a feather -- I can move it to different work spots in the kitchen. Suction cup feet make it stick in place. The attachments are good, especially the emulsifier & the mini bowl.
The feed tube is too small, the pulse is laggy, the chopping blade wont give you a precise, even, & fine sofrito. ATK wouldn't like it. But it's so quick & easy to use & does the job well enough, that it's far more useful for day to day, family style cooking than my old premium machine. When it breaks, I'll invest in a Breville, but probably will miss much about the easy GE.
How can you make cheese slices for deli sandwiches?
What about Robot Coupe Dicer+Processor? Anyone have experience with it? Reliable? Thank you.
So can one order the "old" blade as another option for the new machine? Will it fit?
Yes and yes
