It seems inconceivable that -- long ago in the swirling mists of time -- people had to suffer through lumpy gravies, make pesto by hand, and pound almonds to smithereens for tart crusts.
The Cuisinart, by virtue of the fact that it has delivered us from these and so many other culinary sins and trials, has achieved generic, mono-named status, like Xerox. That said, I'd never buy anything but the real, original-brand deal. It's sturdy and strong, the blades are quality steel and it assembles and breaks down for washing with ease.
I highly recommend buying the largest capacity Cuisinart you can afford. Mine is 14 cups...I wouldn't go smaller than that unless it's simply an issue of affordability.
Functional, beautifully designed, durable...and indispensable. My Cuisinart!
How has your Cuisinart food processor changed your cooking life for the better? Let me know in Comments.
This is my biggest christmas wish. Or a kindle.

ReplyDeleteI'm using a hand-me-down from my Mother. It was on their wedding list in 1980 and survived moving from the UK > Mexico > Toronto > NYC > London > countryside. Before being cast asside with a new whizzy stainless steel version; only to be stolen by me and now residing in Seattle! It's still going strong and to your post, I love making pesto in it!
