So, Cuisinart just told me on the phone that it no longer has a dough blade. They also said it comes with 2 lids. One with a feeder and one without. But nothing I've seen on UA-cam shows the second lid...
Very helpful. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to get the pusher off the lid! I really wish the pusher assembly came apart. Super annoying that it doesn’t
Thank you so much for sharing! I just bought this food processor and it no longer comes with a DVD. I have never used a food processor before. So, this video was very, very helpful!
Just what I needed when I needed it. My Cuisinart has been boxed for a few years while I moved around the state. Now that I'm in my forever home, I'm ready to use it. I love that I can buy a block of Tillamook cheese and grate it myself - no cellulose! Ditto for chopped onions. Now, I can prep my veggies all at once and enjoy making my week's worth of recipes with ease.
I just cannot detach the sleeve from the tube. I badly need to shred some cabbage and I am going to it manually. I have the machine for a couple of months and tried to call Amanda who asked me to send the photos to her. I did not hear back. That machine should be wonderful if we know how to use it. The video is very useful is all the parts are the right ones.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Though I’ve had it for quite a while, I’d not used it. I had to relearn how to work my appliance. I’m clear after watching this video.
Thank you!!! I just bought the 7 cup Cuisinart Pro Classic Food Processor and looks like this food processor. They no longer come with the DVD and I appreciate this video. Learned a lot from your instructions!
Has anyone had any concern with their chopping blade (the S-shaped one)? There was a recall for Cuisinart blades with rivets, but I've never heard of any actual damages from those types. Just wondered if it's safe to use since there was a recall. Something like 8 million were replaced. Thanks.
Mary, excellent presentation. It was very complete and easy to follow, even for a first time food processor owner like myself (still haven't mastered bread machines). Your little tips were great.
I still cannot tell how you separate the medium feeder from the large food feeder. Mine came in the box already together and I've never been able to separate them despite watching multiple videos. Can anyone help?
still cannot get the food processor to turn on - I have followed the attachment process carefully several times and it will not turn on. I find the base bowl very stiff to get on and off lined up properly
I would like to know where is the part that holds the large pusher that I see the illustrator using to guide the food to the blade. I have watched this video and the one that came with my food processor that I purchased in 2013 for three hours. This is actually my first attempt to use the appliance. It works well with the smaller feeder tube. Thanks for any clarity anyone could provide. And yes I found out tonight after visiting Cuisinart website that there is a recall on the chopping/mixing blade for model DLC8S and a lot others.
This was excellent. My processor is old. I got a new bowl . It is so difficult to line up the work bowl with the spot in the back ( sometimes I have succeeded mostly not)& place the cover on so that it lines up & will work. The pusher will not work if not lined up. Then, I couldn’t get the bowl off.my arm & wrist hurt from all the work. It would have been faster & easier to cut all by hand. I have it this new bowl, etc. For a year.
Yes! My grandma gave me her 11 cup processor, but I can’t get it to start! The button lights up so I know it’s not shorted out, but idk how to get it going and can’t find videos on it 😢
your video is very helpful and professional and much bette than the previous one seen here. I tried to shred some cabbage and I did not succeed to do it in the large tube. I had to use the small one and it took me ages batch by batch. When placing large pieces of cabbage, i could not lock the cover with either small or large quantities. Any helpful tip please? Thanks.
To use the large feeder you have to cut the cabbage into pieces about the size of a small apple so that you can put it deep enough into the feeder so that when you put on the pusher, the pusher can engage with the release mechanism.
Buenas tardes, me pregunto porque no hay un vídeo de estos aparatos en español, las personas de.habla hispana también usamos estos aparatos. Discriminación?.
I’ve been researching food processors and a few days ago I came to a decision. Cuisinart Food Processor, Pro Custom 11 Cup 👍🏼👍🏼 Unfortunately, the dough blade now has to be purchased separately 😢
You miss spoke ! When you install the stem onto the bottom of the disk , line up the arrows and with light downward pressure, turn it CLOCKWISE until it clicks into place ! Then to release the stem from the disk , pull back on the button and turn the stem COUNTER CLOCKWISE, O.K .? And the disks should ALWAYS be facing upside down on a flat surface until the stem has been installed , and only handle the disks by the outer rim !
Please tell where I can buy a new mixing bowl and a chopping disk for my cuisinsrt classic. I live in Spain and I am looking for it for years. Mine is exactly the one you are showing.
The smaller feed is stuck in the sleeve. I tried to unlock it but did not succeed. I will call the customer service to find out how to remove it. Good that I have a spare one. It took me months and months to find out how that appliance works. Just today I found out that the sleever should be removed and place back each time we wish to place big amounts of food.
Thank goodness for this. I didn’t get a “how to use” dvd and the link to the ‘’/videos/how-to” only links to the product page. This is my first ever food processor and I definitely needed some guidance.
Did you ever get a reply? I was SO frustrated by the same thing, until my husband just grabbed it, accidentally squeezing the magic clear lever on the back of the feed tube.
@@allegrahinkle9066 Thanks for sharing. I did get the feeding tube out (and like your husband, it was just by accident), but then I found that I had also removed the part that turns the motor on.
In-depth testing showed that the chopping blade actually worked better for blending dry ingredients and later kneading dough than the dough blade, so the dough blade was phased out as redundant.
I should add that the dvd never came in the box as you mentioned it. I watch yours which is very good since the old was removed but I still do not know to operate the appliance for shredding. The top part of the sleeve cannot be detached in order to place the food.
Sarina Eliyakim "The top part of the sleeve cannot be detached in order to place the food." Which model do you have? I have the Custom 14, and the large pusher just pulls straight up out of the feed tube. (The machine won't run without the pusher being in place, as a safety measure.) On some models there's a locking slider near the top that you have to slide to one side to unlock the pusher, as shown here at 6:04. Then you need to squeeze the bottom of the clear tab on the back as you lift the pusher. You can see that clear tab engaging when she shows the close-up at 5:48.
By the way, to shred cabbage, don't use the shredding disk, use the slicing disk. Since cabbage is a layered vegetable, the "slicing" disk will give you shreds. (The shredding disk will give you mush.)
always get an extra bowl. cuisinart is no longer made in japan, and the cheap chinese plastic bowl tend to break. if you dont get an extra one, it will be very hard to find later on when the company stops making it in a few months, if they havent already.
Good advice. I had an older one that broke because it fell on the floor so often (just the bowl). I taped it together with Gorilla Tape which worked very well.
I have the 11 cup food processor. It did not come with a apparatus for kneading bread dough . On the box it specifically said kneading in the list of what it could do but there was no picture of the specific apparatus for kneading on the other side of the box which showed the blades included. I received this two weeks ago and when planning to make bread I discovered the omission. I had bought the 11 cup specifically because it said on the box 'kneading'.
the Cuisinart I had for 7 years (DLC 2011started to shake and the stems of the motor and the blade both broke, making the entire processor move across the counter. It cut my finger from the impact ! there was no reason for this. my sister thinking she did me a favor, bought me another Cuisinart and it doesn't have a dough blade. the handles on the Cuisinart are cheaply made, while the Kitchen aide brand has a sturdy handle. what is the warranty on the DLC 8s model ? It's a week old and I see it's already discontinued. I'm disappointed- Also, when you refer tot he small feed tube, you should not use the same term for the actual tube and the pusher.
Just tell me how to turn it on. This is an overly complicated machine that does not work unless everything is exactly aligned. There is no intuitive use, everything must be perfectly aligned and done in the correct order. The locking mechanism on the handle is complicated and fussy.
First of all, why do I need a Chef to tell me how to cook or prepare a dish in a food processor? Ridiculous, and there was no DVD, so what is the point?
![Best Food Processors 2024 [don’t buy one before watching this]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ERYN3zv4ze8/mqdefault.jpg)
how do you remove the push tool from the large feed?
😅 press the part where it attaches to the bowl...it comes out as a whole piece ..it's frustrating and badly designed
Thank you so much for sharing. I just bought the 8 cups & needed to know the right ways to use. I don't wanna under used it.
How do I get the large pusher out??
So, Cuisinart just told me on the phone that it no longer has a dough blade.
They also said it comes with 2 lids. One with a feeder and one without. But nothing I've seen on UA-cam shows the second lid...
The double blade is sufficient for dough kneading. Once they realized that they stopped adding the dough blade.
Yup, no dough blade on this new one. I never used my dough blade in the old one.
Didn’t work for me
Very helpful. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to get the pusher off the lid! I really wish the pusher assembly came apart. Super annoying that it doesn’t

Thank you for sharing, the DVD didn’t come with mine. I was lost.
The videos are no longer on their website nor do they offer a CD! Really appreciated this vid.
Why didn’t I get the dough blade with my machine? I would like to have it. It should be included for the price I paid.

Hard to believe that DVD is obsolete.
Can you disassemble the lg food pusher
Do we have a video on how to clean the cheese out of the TRITAN LARGE PUSHER AND SLEEVE ASSEMBLY (DLC-018BGTXT1) ?

Mary, excellent presentation. It was very complete and easy to follow, even for a first time food processor owner like myself (still haven't mastered bread machines). Your little tips were great.
I have so much trouble with this processor. When I try to put the large pusher in it does not slide in and of course won't start???? HELP!!!
I still cannot tell how you separate the medium feeder from the large food feeder. Mine came in the box already together and I've never been able to separate them despite watching multiple videos. Can anyone help?
WHat’s the best shredding blade for making Cole Slaw??
still cannot get the food processor to turn on - I have followed the attachment process carefully several times and it will not turn on. I find the base bowl very stiff to get on and off lined up properly
Wait, on some models you lock it in clockwise, but on other models it goes counter-clockwise !
Is Cuisinart serious ?
Video is a lifesaver, even for me and my new model (first time user) years after this was posted! thanks!!
Me, too!
HOW ABOUT THE BLACK and decker?
@@frankarellano5730 Black & Decker food processors sound like a power tool.
Do you know that this model works with 220V or 110V?
So what about the disc holder?

Do the pro parts work with just the classic
Will ths work as well for making butter?
Ok this is way out of date. The 11-cup processor is very different, and better, now. In 2022 you can't be guided by this video.
Yes! My grandma gave me her 11 cup processor, but I can’t get it to start! The button lights up so I know it’s not shorted out, but idk how to get it going and can’t find videos on it 😢
Also I have to use all my might to open and close it is that normal? I might never know lol
I bought 8 cup food processor I cannot assemble the lid. Doesn’t lock
your video is very helpful and professional and much bette than the previous one seen here.

I have the same problem and the small feed tube is tiny.
To use the large feeder you have to cut the cabbage into pieces about the size of a small apple so that you can put it deep enough into the feeder so that when you put on the pusher, the pusher can engage with the release mechanism.
our blade cant fix proerly ,hard to fix the blade
I am missing a part. The dough needed. It was not in the box .
@samirah Mujahid The dough blade is no longer included. Cuisinart states that the regular blade works better for dough because it is longer.
I found the sleeve but couldn't find the disk. Thank You for sharing.
I CAN NOT get the lid on!!!! I've tried it every which way! Never had any problems with my lovely old DC-8. I want to scream!

Well explained, thank you very much 🙏
Thank you! After all this time I was missing so much about how I could use it.
This is perfect. Thank you so much!!!
Just purchased a 14 cup one... the dough blade wasn’t included. Is there a reason why?
See an older reply. They found the chopping blade worked better.
Thank you for this demonstration on how to attach the top and food pusher.
Finally, I got it working after many, many too attempts! Thank you for making this video !!!!
I had the same problem 😂. And during the quarantine: I truly burst into tears.
Thank goodness for this. I didn’t get a “how to use” dvd and the link to the ‘’/videos/how-to” only links to the product page. This is my first ever food processor and I definitely needed some guidance.
How have you enjoyed your processor?
Is there any store in Toronto to buy pro classic Cuisinart 12 cup. not on line
Thank you for such an informative video!
Can I buy all blades or disks separately?
One of the best reviews on UA-cam, if not the best👍
But what I need to know is how to remove the feeding tube, so that I can slice a small apple intact. Somebody? Anybody?
Did you ever get a reply? I was SO frustrated by the same thing, until my husband just grabbed it, accidentally squeezing the magic clear lever on the back of the feed tube.

whether it can grind beef, 1 kilogram at a time??
