Cuisinart Custom 14 Cup Food Processor vs KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Food Chopper

Although the device doesn't have advanced features like variable speeds or touch panel controls, it outperforms many other appliances thanks to its si...

I have a lot of KitchenAid appliances and it’s unfortunate that something like a chopper can make you second guess further purchases. I liked using it, but I guess it’s now useless.

And to do any type of slicing and shredding you would use your medium slicing disc, I mean not shredding, slicing, and you do the same thing, you line...

It's the perfect size and does a FABULOUS job doing what I need it to do. The thing I love the most is that it saves me SOOOO much time! I can chop a week's worth of veggies in 10-15 minutes. It's so FAST! And cleanup is a breeze. For the easiest cleaning, do not allow food to dry onto it

I no longer have to process my falafel mix and many other recipes in batches. But small batches work fine as long as they aren't tiny. I made about a ...

it isn’t large enough for lots of tasks. For example, if you plan to make pie dough in the food processor, this size will not suffice unless you don’t mind dividing your recipe in 2. Most recipes make 2 crusts and while you may be able to force all of the butter and flour inside, it ends up too crowded to actually pulse it and blend the flour and butter (or shortening) together. I thought I’d be able to make pie crust and am disappointed that I have to split each recipe in half and can only make one pie crust at a time

I had a 7 cup for years but it just wasn't big enough. I'd have to empty it sometimes more then once. The only thing that's different is the food shoot is in the back not the front. I find that inconvenient

I SUPPOSE - if you took out the blade assembly - you MIGHT be able to fit 3 1/2 cups of AIR in the thing, but thats a ridiculous way to measure. Who uses a food processor without a blade? I didn't expect to get 3 1/2 cups of usable capacity, but I really didn't expect this to top out at less than 2 1/2. The instructions list the capacity as: up to 1.5 cups of liquids / emulsions up to 2

I'd recommend rinsing right away whenever you're done using this and then throwing it in the dishwasher when you get a chance. So we use this for slic...

Just make sure to clean it very well especially after chopping meat. Anyway, I use it very often!
