I use one of these in my work and I can attest that they are good appliances with good quality. They can chop and process most anything. I also appreciate the safety interlock system that doesn't allow the device to engage unless the lid is in place and there is no direct access to the blades/discs.
The video however doesn't show you the optimal way to use the device. I understand why, they want to show you the use of the on off/pulse paddles and in optimal position, this would be blocked by the operator, as well as the operator facing away from the camera. Just know that you should be facing the machine with the on off/pulse paddles nearest you.
@LiveOkie Well, I've always used the thing with the paddles facing me. Having the paddles facing away seems backward to me. But hey, if that seems right to you, then get it. However is easiest for the operator.
I gotta' defend this video a bit. There's a lot of complaining about her making a simple recipe and dirtying a lot of dishes for it. And that there's a lot of "Ums." I was given this and it's my first food processor. I read the manual and there's no information/pictures on how the bowl, tubes and disks work together. I came here and she showed me. The simple recipe is intended to show how to operate the machine, not how to make guacamole for a party of 12. And I learned a lot from seeing how things go together and operate. She's no pro and yes, the "Ums" got annoying, but I now know how to get started with a food processor. And there are a lot of commenters saying they can't get theirs going while the answer turns out to be you have to put the bowl on correctly - and that info is not in the manual!
Mary R. has made quite a few demo videos for Cuisinart over the years and while they may seem the same, there are differences. Search for Cuisinart videos and you may find the interesting one by the "Burger Bar" (I think) Chef...pizza, choc chip cookies, and a few other recipes. There are many videos to be found. This model is a very simple mechanical appliance. Enjoy it and "Happy Cooking". P.S. I think that I like Mary R. a little too much!
Can you demonstrate the shredding feature with actual vegetables?
I didn’t need a recipe. I need a demonstration of the various “other things” mentioned at the very end.
"Food Processor Perfection" book. Also likely the best: "The New Food Processor Bible: 30th Anniversary Edition". I own both. Very helpful. Ideas that you never even thought of! Happy Cooking. Search for "Cusinart Food Processor videos" and the Cuisinart ones are the best.
5:45 For those here to learn how to twist the bowl and lid into place.
You a mind reader?!!
Yea so that ‘decorative bowl’ is called a Molcajete (Mole-ka-het’ay). It is similar to a mortar and pestle and is the traditional Mexican kitchen item used to make - you guessed it - guacamole, also a Mexican food lol.
So the food you’re putting in it as a display is actually the original dish it was made in ;)
I also think chunks of avocado are desirable :)
Kind of ironic they unknowingly put their guacamole-making competitor in the video!
I raised my eyebrow at “decorative bowl” like maam… put some respect on its name 😂😂
Making guacamole in a food processor just to put in a molcajete… described as a “decorative bowl” 🫣. Anyway I purchased this food processor today and can’t wait to use it!
I bought this model based on it being highly recommended by America's Test Kitchen, along with the fact that it was similar in operation to the Cuisinart I had back in the '70s. I just wish that it had an adjustable slicing disk rather than me needing to buy accessory disks, and that it had a continuous feed chute available like my old one did. (I wonder if the Waring chute would fit.)

You can get additional blades...check Amazon. My 14 cup is about ten plus years old and I just got additional discs from Cuisinart on Amazon. They ask you to put in your model number to be sure it's compatible.
+ KoalaSez -- Yes, you CAN get additional disks (as I pointed out when I wrote "I just wish that it had an adjustable slicing disk rather than me needing to buy accessory disks"), but the similar Waring Pro model has an adjustable slicing disk that gives several thickness choices in one disk. It's a nice feature.
I just bought this and I could not be happier , I debated between this and the Breville but , this one does work better on dough IMO , and I like simple .. an adjustable blade would be nice but in all honesty this is probably all I will use , for the most part , I LOVE it !! I had a KA , OMG the parts, the cleaning ... ugh
Maggiesmum527 Kates "I had a KA , OMG the parts, the cleaning ... ugh"
LOL! Yeah, I hear you. I missed my old Cuisinart from the '70s (that I had sold when I needed money), and I first bought a Kitchenaid and hated it, so I got the Cuisinart Custom 14. It was rated highly in testing by America's Test Kitchen. (It's currently their #1 pick, while the KA is at the very bottom and rated "Not Recommended.")
I'm so curious about the other available accessory blades. They show a bunch available on the Cuisinart website but no descriptions of what they do. I'm here on YT looking for videos of uses for the various accessory blades but I don't really see anything. I was thinking I need to super thick 8mm slice but no actual idea what for. Your videos are great just need more with the different options.
It's up to you what you use the different slicing disks for; your imagination is your guide. An 8mm thickness might be good for slicing eggplant for Ratatouille, for example, and a 2mm for potato chips/crisps. The 4mm disk that comes standard is a good general-purpose thickness, great for making scalloped potatoes, slicing tomatoes for sandwiches, etc., but it's not perfect for everything.
From what I understand the mm measurement will make you slices of things like cucumbers or carrots of those thicknesses. I read complaints of 3mm thickness being so thin you could see through the slices if that helps you at all. I would want 4mm to 6mm thickness myself. You might even want the 8mm thickness if you want really thick slices. Look at a ruler and imagine how thick those slices would be. There are 10mm in 1 cm.
Just unboxed mine.
It is very powerful, much better than the Elemental 11 cup (which I bought thinking I would like the smaller size. I had no idea that it was utterly useless!)
I ended up throwing it in the trash, along with the 💲💲💲I spent, because "the warranty ran out"
Well, it was awful the whole time I owned it, but I guess Cuisinart doesn't care.
I guess Im not the only one who hated it, since it no longer is made.
I thought I was simply buying a smaller version of this one . NOT EVEN CLOSE.
Thank you for this video. You helped me so much.
Is there an easy way to put the lid on? I have trouble assembling the bowl and its lid. Thank you.
Y
Me too! Why is there no answer to your question?
I can't figure out which model is better between the Custom 14 (recommended by Americas Test Kitchen), or the Elite 2.0 14 Cup which costs more but isn't as popular and seems a lot more gimmicky.
Did you ever determine the differences between the models?
@@sing1967 I still can't get the Custom 14 in my market (AUS/NZ). That remains my pick based on its simple design. Simplicity and solid build always wins over attachments and gimmicks. The Custom 14 is also still the Americas Test Kitchen's favourite pick.
Hard to seat lid with plungers in feed tube! I goes fine without the plungers
I have so much trouble getting the deeper top on completely. Yes I have it on properly with handle in front, tube on back. Nothing actually slides easily ON or OFF.
Why in heck is the feed chute on the BACK side of the machine? Does any other food processor on earth do things that way?
Not a prob for a tall person like me, but I think that a short person would have trouble seeing what she's doing from the other side of the machine.
@@lokipokey My guess is that you can see what's doing in the bowl while you add things
This machine makes me crazy. #1. . It does not lock into place so easy as it looks...finally got that right with husbands help. It has a snap OH yeah and lock...not so easy on mine. Second the shredder Oh looks easy not if you don't use it often. Be Sure and find those little invisible arrows and line them Up. otherwise I cannot get the square cube into the round whole.
thank god for this video ;))
I’m wondering why they don’t demo the meat vegetables easy to deals with it
Just look at how many dishes you dirtied making this!!! How are you saving time?
can some tell me please if I can make almond butter in this machine ??? thanks for the answer
mike hansen You should be able to make nut butters in this machine, although it does take a while. But butters are better suited for a high quality, and only high quality, blender (such as a Vitamix).
If you want to make nut butters , with NO oil or other additives, get a VITAMIX ! For the best Almond butter ever !
I used 1.5 cups of unsalted dry roasted peanuts + 1.5 cups salted cashews and it turned out great. ~3mins. I also have a Vitamix and the process is the same. Both machines make peanut butter well.
Thank you !
Hi, so I ca't push the top down, There is a white piece of plastic that's stopping it. Does that come off??
Same thing happened to me and I figured it out. Just unlock and remove the feedtube and then reattach it other way. It should face it the opposite side.
ok, thanks.@@robimytube
It's actually called the work bowl that needs to be resetup.
I am having this problem right now. So the oblong feeder thing goes towards the back of the appliance?
Thank you.
Pleeease that "decorating bowl" itself it's a kitchen tool to prepare that guacamole even faster dah!
I was thinking the exact same thing...mortar and pestle!
Getting the lid into place it’s RIDICULOUSLY DIFFICULT!!!!!!!!! I don’t use mine often so every time I get it out I want to throw it in the trash! Ready to buy a different model.
Does anyone know what the difference in the two models is? DFP-14BCNY vs DFP-14BCWNY
Usually, the letters at that end of a model number, for almost everything, is the color. So my guess is that the DFP-14BCWNY is the same thing in white. It certainly works that way for my mini food processor as my model has an R and it's red. If you look at the online catalog for it, B is black, W is white and usually no color letter is chrome.
Can u do the méat
I have not been able to turn this machine on. My husband cut up the box and threw it away before I tried to use it.
The sharp end goes into the wall. Seriously, you aren't putting in the feed tube correctly. Read the owner's manual. If your husband threw that out, throw him out, too.
Was having the same problem and the owner's manual has no descriptions. If you look at the feed tube, you'll notice that the cup has a metal bar on one side. Make sure you insert that metal slide through the back of the machine as that allows the power to turn the machine on.
@@npbuds mine won’t allow insert of the metal bar on the feed plungers! The instruction book is worthless. I just want to Finnish making my hummus!
@@barbgardiner5719 look at the 3 min 30 second part of the video. If you don't insert that feed tube in correctly (based on the metal slide connection), the unit won't have the electric connection. Basically, if not working, try putting that feed tube in the other way. Feels ridiculous once you realize.
@@npbuds thank you!
can some tell me please if I can make almond butter in this machine ??? thanks for the answer
I've made peanut butter in mine; I don't see any reason that it couldn't make almond butter. You might need to stop it from time to time to scrape down the bowl and to let the motor cool, but it should work.
for the best nut butters , without any added oil , JUST the nuts, get a VITAMIX !
Yes this machine makes almond butter. There, you got your answer.
Where can I order a new. Mixingbowl and chopping knife.
I am having a problem with my Cuisinart 14 cup food processor lid not being able to lock or remove lid. It seems to be stuck.
As am I! What is the fix?
The fix is possibly that you've put the lid on backwards and then tried to force it. The handle on the work bowl goes to the front, and the feed tube on the lid goes to the rear. Line up the handle on the work bowl over the word "On" on the paddle, then twist the bowl counterclockwise until the handle is straight to the front, over the split line between the two paddles. Then put the lid on with the feed tube to the rear, also at an angle, and then twist IT counterclockwise until it's straight to the back. To take it apart, reverse the procedure: twist the lid clockwise and remove it, then twist the bowl clockwise and remove it.
I can't turn it on, so I have to return it. Everything is lined up perfectly, but there's a piece that needs to make contact with a button to start it. It won't make contact with the button.
I would assume reaching out to their customer service would give you better odds over doing it on a UA-cam video.
"...there's a piece that needs to make contact with a button to start it. It won't make contact with the button."
Is the handle of the work bowl to the front (over the control buttons)? Is the feed tube to the rear (opposite many other models)?
It comes with a warranty if it’s less than 3 yrs old cuisinart will repair it just call them tell them if the piece not making contact is in the lid or the bowl but I must warn u the phn wait time is long and the part will take 30 days to get to you. Then again maybe you should just buy a kitchen aid or brevel

Do you know how I know that this is not the food processor for me? You've already cut up all the ingredients you're putting into the food processor! Why are you buying a food processor if you're going to cut everything up in advance! I'm going to find one that you can put the ingredients in whole because I'm not dragging out a cutting board in my fancy knife to make guacamole in my food processor. Do you how long it would take to clean all that stuff up? I don't get how you're saving time with this.
Then perhaps you shouldn't buy one.
Just broke my 2nd Cuisinart shredding cheese. It did a great job until the plastic clips holding the bowl and chute broke. Called Cuisinart and they dismissed it. They offered (for me to purchase) replacement parts, which are 3/4 the price of the processor. Will never purchase a Cuisinart ever again.
My first Cuisinart, the Pro 11 which is about 25 years old, just broke in the same way. The machine is fine, but I just need to replace the bowl. I'm going to hope I can find something on Amazon.
She doesn’t show the most important part of the groove needing to fit in the other lever thing. She’s not a happy demoer. Please Cusinart get another!!!
Mine broke. Breville here I come!

This is really bad. I find that the Cuisinart processor is very difficult to figure out for a first time user. To be useful, the video needs to take the steps much SLOWER and needs to have a professional videographer zoom in. This thing is very hard to figure out how to assemble. This video was no help.
Nico Shores
Cuisinart should thank other people for reviewing this unit. If I was to judge just off this video, I wouldn't have purchased it. Guacamole is one of the easiest tasks that any processor can handle, which she didn't even do well. The "decorative bowl" is also what you're supposed to use to make traditional guacamole. This was a lazy and ignorantly produced video that you would expect from a random reviewer, not the company itself.
As far as an actual tip, if you put red onion in, it keeps the avocado green for days. Anyone that's left a half avocado with the pit around knows it doesn't slow browning. They really hired an idiot.

Wow people in the comments are so cruel.
A Molcajete is not a Decorative Bowl. You don't need a Cuisinart to mush up avocados. BTW, yours is made of concrete instead of basaltic lava.
There's no reason a molcajete shouldn't be used as a serving bowl. It's frequently used as such for guacamole. Even if it weren't, it doesn't matter at all - "doing it wrong" is not, in and of itself, a valid reason to not do something. We'd still be in the stone age if everyone strictly adhered to that philosophy.

Real Mexican guacamole looks nothing like this. Show the machine capabilities like dicing techniques, shredding different food items. Not horrible baby food recipes. No way is this woman a chef.
So a $230 processor can make guacamole. What a useless video.
Lol...Exactly 10 minute video to make guacamole (which doesn’t include her prep time pre dicing off camera) plus now she has to wash 6 bowls and the machine and her decorative bowl (lmao). I can make my guacamole in 10-12 minutes and all I have to wash is a knife, a spoon, one bowl and masher. Like you said $230 processor?That can buy me lots of tequila to go with my guacamole😂
@@franksantos3418 To be fair the unit is capable of serious work. Like if they made pizza dough, tomato sauce and shredded cheese all using just the unit that'd be a good demo. But as you said, guac is so easy by hand, and even if you wanted to automate the process, a $20 processor will take care of it. Leaves you with $210 left for tequila. Plus the decorative bowl is actually the traditional vessel for making guacamole, which really makes this demo look so stupid.
A ton of Ums
Does she gat paid extra for every time she says “um”?

To much work for a Wacamole!!!
ERM, uhm, just put the... No, wait. That's it, uhm... Yes this is the urm blade that erm eh makes the onion, no wait, green onion, sorry.
Holy SHIT! Whoever green lit this shit show needs fired.
Had to stop watching. Way too many ums. Making my skin crawl
It's so easy a woman can use it!
Just look at how many dishes you dirtied making this!!! How are you saving time?
then why are you watching it? She is dirtying things cos she is demonstrating. At your home, you wont be having items all laid out in a dish!
YT folks can’t cook worth a damn…. Guacamole soup
Incredibly poorly designed asswmbly
Making pizza dough with a machine that can only cut?
Just show us what the machine can do. Don't pretend it can do things it's not designed for.
Your constant use of the ‘um’ sound is annoying.
UM, UM , UM , UM UM UM UM , UM ,UM , UM , UM AND UM, IT WAS, UM,, VERY, UM, ANNOYING !
Richard R: Too many "um's." You need to work on that.
This is an old and tired design. Don't buy it just because a few professionals recommend it. You will be disappointed.
