KitchenAid KFPM770 Food Processor Review

may — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 15:02:32 +0000

The design of KitchenAid KFPM770 Food Processor is very sleek and it fits elegantly to any countertop or table top. KitchenAid older models have great performance but this model of the KitchenAid just got even better. Anybody who wants to chop like a pro needs a food processor as efficient as this kitchen appliance.

It really makes the tedious job of slicing, chopping and dicing so fast and easy. Mixing and blending of mixes is consistently smoother than its older models and other counterparts in the market.

KitchenAid KFPM770 Food Processor Product Specification:

700-watt power motor
12-cup capacity and 3 polycarbonate work bowls
Ultra-wide mouth feed tube
3 precision stainless-steel discs
Durable storage case
Durable sealed housing creates sound barrier for quiet operation
Control pad and base wipe clean easily
Dishwasher-safe bowls, blades, and discs
Measures 21-1/2 by 17-1/2 by 10-2/5 inches
1-year replacement warranty

The KitchenAid KFPM770 is a brushed nickel model that also comes with a great batch of accessories and attachments like an egg wisk, a citrus juicer, and an extra work bowl. Its stainless finish makes it so elegant and expensive with its larger mouth tube but the price is just so reasonable.

It is by far one the best food processors in the market today, well, not according to me, but according unbiased expert reviews that you can find online. Performance and attachments set it apart from all the other make and models of food processors out there.

The KitchenAid 770 food processor prides itself for its strong motor at 770-watts, strong and sturdy built and sleek finish though other reviews say that its cheaper and older model the KitchenAid 750 has the same performance at a cheaper price. True, the price of the 750 may be a bit lower than the KitchenAid 770, but the accessories that go with its package definitely justify the amount of the new model.

Well, you can’t please everybody you know, but what matters is that this newest KitchenAid model have received more positive reviews than any other food processors in the market today. The convenience of using the kitchen aid 770 model makes it an outstanding kitchen help. The machine is impressively quiet with its powerful motor and larger amounts of food preparations make it so easy because the KitchenAid is extremely fast when it comes to chopping, slicing, and dicing.

It’s sturdier than other models as well because of its metal components, not plastic, but metal, with its strong and thick housing making it really heavier than other models. Holding it in your hands will somehow give you the feeling that this is really a powerful and durable piece of food processor. In my case, I like heavier food processors; the lighter ones could easily slide and fall if you are not too careful about it.

Cuisinart DLC-1BCH Mini-Prep Processor Review

may — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 15:01:12 +0000

Ever since I bought my Cuisinart DLC-1BCH Mini-Prep Processor, I’ve become a Cuisinart fanatic. Who would’ve thought you can get most of your kitchen tasks done when preparing your meals with just the touch of a button? It not may not do anything major, but it will get most of the basic jobs done.

Cuisinart DLC-1BCH Mini-Prep Processor Specifications:

Chop & Grind at the touch of a button
24 ounce work bowl with handle
Exclusive auto-reversing SmartPower blade for two powerful processing options. and touchpad controls
Includes Stainless steel blade with sharp and blunt edges and spatula
Instruction/Recipe book
Weighs 2.7 lbs
18 months Limited Warranty

The Cuisinart DLC-1BCH Mini-Prep Processor does a great job of mincing garlic, onions, chopping vegetables and nuts or blending liquids or eggs. You can make guacamole or salsa in an instant. I have a 6 month old baby and with this I can make healthy, homemade baby food which gives me total control over what is put into my baby’s food.

It is amazing how it gets the job done without the hassle of lugging out the full-sized food processor. Another thing I liked about this unit is its capability to handle really hard food items such as chocolate, cinnamon sticks or coffee beans, even Parmesan cheese which is impossible for most mini choppers.

The reversible blade, which has blunt edges on one side and sharp edges on the other, is what makes the Cuisinart DLC-1BCH so special. Its two-speed motor powers the dual edged blades which will allow you to simply breeze through your chopping tasks.

This may be the reason why it makes quite a noise for such a little unit, but once you see how well it does its tasks, you’d completely forget about the noise since it works so fast. However, removing and reversing the blades carefully to perform a different task is what makes this little unit somewhat complicated, but other than that, it works like a dream.

It is just absolutely impressive how the Mini-Prep works with such speed and efficiency. It only takes a couple of seconds to get your chopping tasks done, which really matters especially if you’re in a rush.

It is advisable, however, to process food in small batches making sure you do not overcrowd the bowl. And all it takes to control this unit are two oversized control switches to activate the HI and LO speed settings, which you can also use “pulse” that gives a short burst of power. It is also best to start every task with a few easy pulses to initiate the chopping of any food item.

Cuisinart DLC-1BCH Mini-Prep Processor at a glance

Pros:

Compact; real space saver
Extremely powerful
Blades are excellent
Works amazingly fast

Cons:

Motor gets a little noisy
Reversible blades need careful handling

The Cuisinart DLC-1BCH Mini-Prep Processor is just simply amazing. It makes it a lot easier for me to work in the kitchen, especially since it isn’t a hassle cleaning it up either. If a little noise is ok with you then this machine is one great buy.

Cuisinart BFP-703CH SmartPower Duet Blender/Food Processor Product Review

may — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 14:59:58 +0000

Do you enjoy making frozen drinks, but hate leaving those big chunks of ice? Then the Cuisinart BFP-703CH SmartPower Duet Blender/Food Processor is the solution to your problem. I used to always have friends come over and enjoy having frozen drinks, but we never could crush the chunks of ice and it always got on our nerves. That was until I bought the Cuisinart BFP-703CH.

Cuisinart BFP-703CH SmartPower Duet Blender/Food Processor Specifications:

3-cup capacity work bowl
Cover with feed tube and pusher with liquid dispenser
40-ounce glass blender jar
350-watt combination unit saves space and tackles wide range of cooking tasks
Electronic touchpad controls
Food processor button provides the perfect speed for processing foods
Ice crush button
Pulse at any speed button
Stainless steel chopping blade
Reversible slicing /shredding disc
Instruction/Recipe book
Limited 3-year warranty

Who would’ve thought it was possible to combine two kitchen appliances into one, which can do both blending and processing tasks? Cuisinart did just that and introduced it to the market. Now you don’t have to buy two separate kitchen appliance since this food processor can handle both jobs by itself. This saves you money as it serves more than just a food processor.

I personally thought to myself that it would probably be more of a problem than a solution since it’s probably not going to perform well. But i was wrong! I even told a friend of mine who purchased the Cuisinart BFP-703CH SmartPower Duet Blender/Food Processor that she just wasted her money. But when I actually saw the things it could do, I couldn’t wait to get my very own.

The Cuisinart BFP-703CH has seven speeds that you can use, one solely for crushing ice and one for food processing, as well as for a pulsing speed. You can use the 3-cup capacity work bowl, along with its reversible slicing/shredding discs to process food quickly, or simply replace it with the included 40-ounce glass blender jar for blending shakes, smoothies, crush ice, and much more.

Although most attachments of the Cuisinart BFP-703CH SmartPower Food Processor are dishwasher safe, it is an amazingly sturdy product. Cleaning up the unit is not a problem either since you can easily wipe it down with a sponge.

But besides these features, it also comes with a booklet that explains how you can use all of its available features, along with a list of 48 recipes. So it’s not like you will be left with a blender and not know how to use it to its full potential, but you can also have a great time following the recipes.

If there is one thing that this machine has to work on, it is the plastic motor locking ring on the blender base. It easily breaks. This makes the machine less durable to wear and tear. But this is just a minor flaw compared to all the good things that this machine has.

Cuisinart BFP-703CH SmartPower Duet Blender/Food Processor at a glance

Pros:

Very Useful
Crushes ice quite well
Sturdy
Cleaning it is not a hassle
Provides the perfect speed for processing food
Can easily switch from processor to blender

Cons:

The easily breakable plastic motor locking ring on the blender base

So overall, I give this product two thumbs up. There is no longer the need of keeping two kitchen appliances on your counter, instead, purchase a Cuisinart BFP-703CH SmartPower Duet Blender/Food Processor and see for yourself how handy this unit can be.

Kitchenaid KFP720OB 7-Cup Food Processor With 3-Cup Mini Bowl Review

may — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 14:59:00 +0000

If you are having a hard time finding or choosing a very reliable food processor, then read this review about the Kitchenaid KFP720OB 7-Cup Food Processor With 3-Cup Mini Bowl and you will be amazed by what this kitchen help can do Just like any other food processor, its main function includes chopping, shredding and slicing. Its motor power performance is unbelievably strong if we’ll base it on its size and dimensions.

Kitchenaid KFP720OB 7-Cup Food Processor With 3-Cup Mini Bowl Product Specifications:

Food processor with touch-pad controls, pulse option, powerful induction motor
7-cup-capacity work bowl
Multipurpose stainless-steel blade;
Large feed tube and pusher
Reversible stainless-steel slicing/shredding disc
3-cup mini bowl for smaller tasks
Base wipes clean easily; dishwasher-safe bowls, blades, and discs
Measures 9 by 7-2/7 by 14-2/7 inches
1-year hassle-free replacement warranty

Kitchenaid KFP720OB 7-Cup Food Processor has a 3-cup bowl as an added bonus included in each package which is very useful when grinding or grating onions, nuts, herbs and other leafy vegetables and spices. This little kitchen assistant does an excellent job of processing sauces and mixtures.

The settings include an ON, OFF and PULSE. Pressing ON will start a continuous mixing process and you can use the PULSE button for quick and easy switching of start and stop at desired intervals when mixing. The feed tube is large with a pusher for a smoother and more continuous mixing action.

I use this food processor all the time from mixing frozen fruits to nuts. It is one of the toughest small appliances I have used so I can say that this product really gives you total value for your money and an investment worth your while if I may say so. It is easy to clean as well. A damp cloth can actually do the trick in minutes. I am pretty sure that you dread to use a food processor that is so difficult to clean.

It has smoother buttons that leaves trapped dirt in between. All the accessories like the bowl, blade and lid are dishwasher-friendly. Another great thing about the Kitchenaid 7-cup food processor is that it is not noisy unlike with other processors that have the same motor power.

The food processor also produces wonderfully sliced fruits. It’s really great on the slicing side and much faster of course when just using a knife although the shredding abilities of this little machine can get inconsistent sometimes but not that big a deal. It would have been perfect if the thickness or fineness in shredding can be controlled with some button selections.

I have read other reviews about the Kitchenaid 7-cup food processor and found out that the durability and the quality of its blades are what make it rise above its other counterparts. I have been using the processor almost a year now and I can attest to its durability.

The size and weight of this product is also excellent. You can easily keep it in your small kitchen cabinet. I can say that I am happy with this purchase and almost a year of using it and still performing at its peak is real value for my money. I don’t have to worry about availing the 1-year hassle-free replacement warranty although a brand new replacement would be awesome. Well’ this warranty works for those who bought a defective product.

Kitchenaid KFP720OB 7-Cup Food Processor With 3-Cup Mini Bowl at a glance

Pros:

-Really quiet for its power

- Smooth touch-pad controls for easy clean up

- Reversible stainless steel blades for more efficient slicing and shredding

-Durability

-Powerful motor

-User-friendly

-Pulse control to pause action
Cons:

-Shredding isn’t as smooth as slicing.

-Blades sometimes hit and scratch the bowl when mixing cheeses and other soft foods

The Kitchenaid 7-Cup is best for small cooking preparations but can also be work horse if needed for more elaborate food preparations but it is still strongly suggested that you go for bigger and heavier-built versions if you are into big cooking most of the time.

Cuisinart DFP-3 Handy Prep 3-Cup Food Processor Review

may — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 14:57:33 +0000

Are you still shopping around for a food processor that would best suit your needs, then I would suggest the Cuisinart DFP-3 Handy Prep 3-Cup Food Processor. The Handy Prep is smaller than a standard food processor, yet larger and better equipped than a mini mincer. This is probably the best choice if you are only looking for something to help you out with your everyday meal preparation.

Cuisinart DFP-3 Handy Prep 3-Cup Food Processor Specifications:

Chute attachment for continuous slicing or shredding
3-cup work bowl with feed tube
Stainless-steel chopping/mixing blade
Slicing disc (2 mm); medium shredding disc
Ejector disc to direct ingredients through chute attachment

Includes spatula and recipe and instruction book
3 year limited warranty for the whole unit
5 year warranty for the motor

If you are someone with space issues, then this unit is ideal for you. Its base only measures 5 ¼ in wide and stands just less than 13in tall once fully assembled, so it’s not going to take up too much of your kitchen space.

The Cuisinart DFP-3 Handy Prep 3-Cup Food Processor, much like its name, can only handle 3 cups of dry ingredients, or up to 2 cups of semi-liquid ingredients. It doesn’t sound much, but it is handy for your everyday use.

The Handy Prep is also equipped with a continuous feed chute, a feed tube and pusher, stainless-steel chopping blade, a medium shredding and slicing disc, as well as a plastic spatula. The feed chute is good at continuous shredding and slicing of food which is perfect for great quantities, which means that the Cuisinart DFP-3 will let you complete your tasks faster and more efficient rather than doing it by hand.

Although there is a limitation with the width of the feed tube which will prevent you from putting in whole tomatoes, potatoes, or cucumbers; you’d still be so impressed with the thin, even slices, it wouldn’t matter that you had to cut them in halves just to make it fit in the tube.

Besides these features, the Cuisinart DFP-3 Handy Prep 3-Cup Food Processor also comes with a wide range of recipes that you can choose from. So if you enjoy learning how to cook, then this recipe book is your perfect guide. I must admit, I was never really a good cook, but with the easy to follow steps for the recipes, who would’ve guessed I just started cooking a few months ago. Now my friends and family always ask if I can prepare meals for them every time they pay me a visit.

The downside is that if I have visitors I have to keep on repeating the food processing because of the limited use of the 3 cup work bowl. Sometimes i wish it is larger but then again it’s not every day that I have visitors.

Pros:

Compact; space saver
Can handle full range processor tasks
Unlimited slicing & shredding with the continuous feed chute
Easy to use
Easy to clean

Limited use with the 3 cup work bowl

So if you decide you want to start learning how to cook, then this Handy Prep is a great partner in the kitchen. I think it’s a total package!

Also, let us not forget about the stainless steel finish of the Cuisinart Food Processor, which gives it a touch of elegance. It would complement all of the other the other stainless steel appliances in my kitchen. The stylish design is easy to match with any modern kitchen.

The downside of the Cuisinart DFP- 14BCN is that it has a short power cord. Sometimes you may need to use an extension cord if it is placed in an area where it is far from the electrical outlet. Although it is dishwasher safe, the bowl is also easily scratched. This means that it would require extra care to keep it from getting scratched and for it to always look new.

The unit cannot handle liquids well. So if you are up for a juice, then you may want to consider another food processor as it may not handle it.

The slicing, copping and dicing is very consistent. Its stainless steel blades are very sharp which makes it more efficient. It goes with 2 sets of work bowl, the 12 cup work bowl and the 3 cup work bowl with blade that is ideal for small preparations such as mixing sauces and spreads, chopping nuts and mincing garlic. The larger work bowl has a die-cast metal base and handle which makes it the sturdiest work bowl I have seen compared with other products in the market.

The Viking VFP12WH 12 Cup Food Processor has a huge control knob in front and it includes an on and off and pulse functions. This makes it difficult to control compared with soft-touch control pads.

The operation is really easy but we have received some feedbacks that the package is shipped without a manual or instruction booklet. Oh well, it is just a small flaw because as mentioned earlier, the Viking food processor is extremely user-friendly.

Hamilton Beach 70450 6-Cup Food Processor Review

may — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 14:49:42 +0000

How would you like to have a full-sized processor, but at the same time space-saving on your kitchen counter? If so, then the Hamilton Beach 70450 6-Cup Food Processor would be the best choice for you. It’s not bulky like any other full-sized processor, yet works like one with its 6-cup capacity.

Hamilton Beach 70450 6-Cup Food Processor Specification:

In-bowl blade storage
Space-saving design
300 Watt motor
Convenient On/Pulse dial
Dishwasher safe
TrueSharpTM blades

Most massive processors are hassle just to get it started. You have all these buttons to choose from just to perform a simple task. Unlike the Hamilton Beach 70450 6-Cups Food Processor, all it takes is its convenient On/Pulse dial, and that makes it very simple to operate. This multipurpose switch lets you have full control of the chopped food’s size, as well as the fineness of your puree.

Cleaning it up after use is not a problem either. Just like most of the other food processors, this utensil’s removable parts are all dishwasher-safe, so there’s no need to wash each and every piece by hand. I don’t know about you, but that works for me since I hate washing dirty dishes.

Another reason why I love the Hamilton Beach 6-Cup Food Processor so much is because it’s so easy to operate, that even my kids can use it. Am I worried that my children might get their fingers chopped off? Not at all! The Hamilton Beach is equipped with a safety feature, where it will only turn on when the top lid over the work bowl is being locked.

So instead of telling my kids to stay out of the kitchen while I’m busy preparing meals, they even offer to help out since with chopping up some of the ingredients using the unit. It is funny how they find such enjoyment from doing the simplest things, but I enjoy it more since we are spending time together while doing what I love best – cooking.

Besides what I’ve said so far, there is one more reason why I bought the Hamilton Beach Food Processor. It is very inexpensive for the quality of the product you are paying for. I mean, who wouldn’t want to buy any high quality item for such a bargain price? Just because you pay so much for anything, does not always mean that you get what you pay for, but this item is very well worth the money.

To think I was going to hold off buying a more expensive food processor because I wanted to save up for a more expensive unit. Luckily I came across the Hamilton Beach 70450 6-Cup Food Processor, which saved me a lot time and money.

Hamilton Beach 70450 6-Cup Food Processor at a glance

Oster 2619 350-Watt 3-in-1 Hand Blender Review

may — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 02:05:03 +0000

The Oster 2619 350-Watt 3-in-1 Hand Blender is a multi-purpose kitchen appliance that can help you in preparing food quickly. It is like working as a professional chef every time this handy little kitchen gadget is used. Once you get the feel of the gadget, you will wonder how you could ever manage without it. It’s a versatile little piece of machine that simple makes food preparations, small and large, very easy and fast.

Oster 2619 350-Watt 3-in-1 Hand Blender Product Specifications:

Oster Hand Blender
Available in Black
Push-Button Controls, Easy 1-Hand Operation
350 Watts
Ergonomic Grip
Perfect for Pureed Baby Food, Soups, Dressings, Milkshakes, Energy Drinks
Durable Stainless Steel Grinder, Stainless Steel Blades
Snap-Apart Components
Plastic Container
Plastic Polished Finish
Chopping Blade Attachment, Mini Chopper Container with Lid, Blending Blade Attachment, Electric Knife Blades Included
Jar and Blades are Dishwasher Safe
1-yr. Warranty
Dimensions: 20.8×4.9×4.9 “

The Oster 2619 350-Watt 3-in-1 Hand Blender is a kitchen gadget that packs a lot of power with its 350-watt motor. It is compact and has three different main attachments that you can use in coming up with a food preparation with an excellent result.

Its tall and slender motor housing does fit in your hand very comfortably and boast of its three accessories: the stick mixer that is used for blending, the food chopper and the electric knife. The cup included in the package can be used in two ways: a measuring cup and a blending cup

The first attachment is tool that you can use for blending such as mixing puree, fruit shakes and other things. The second attachment is the mini-chopper that is ideal in chopping fruits, vegetables, nuts, and other ingredients. The last tool is the electric knife that is so sharp; it can cut through almost anything like small pieces of meat included.

Each of these attachments connects easily to the motor of the gadget in a quick and simple one-turn lock action. The stick blender has a blender space made of stainless steel and this is very effective in blending soft foods and liquids like shakes. It can also handle hot liquids like hot soups which are often impossible with the use of regular food blenders.

The Oster 2619 Hand Blender goes with a 16-oz. measuring cup perfect for making and blending milk or fruit shakes and ingredients of savory sauces and dressings. All you have to do is dip the blade into the container the press ON and see the action come to life. The ON button is activated by a pulse button and will continue to operate until the button is pressed again. This makes it possible to blend foods and liquids in a matter of a few seconds.

The downside of the Oster 2619 is that the food chopper cannot chop ice. This leaves chunks of ice and may ruin a perfectly smooth shake. Another major downside is the tendency for the motor to get burned when the operation goes over 3 minutes. So you have to be mindful in allowing time for the motor to rest to avoid from it getting burned.

Oster 2619 350-Watt 3-in-1 Hand Blender at a glance

Pros:

Three main gadgets in one: hand blender, food chopper and electric knife
Easy to use
Ergonomic handle that fits in your hand perfectly
Durable components

Cons:

Unfortunately, the food chopper cannot chop ice
Limit of use to 1minute and 3 minutes of resting the motor is a bit long. So it is not totally worry-free when using it because if the user forgets, it could burn the motor and that is a pain.

Since it is 3 in 1, you can definitely save money when you purchase the Oster 2619 350-Watt 3-in-1 Hand Blender. It’s perfect for home use but not the one that you could rely on if you’re not mindful of the time as the motor gets burned easily. Due to this act, it might be better to check on other blenders on the market.

Cuisinart DLC-2011BCN Prep 11 Plus Food Processor Review

Cuisinart DLC-2011BCN Prep 11 Plus Food Processor may be all that you are going to need in the kitchen to help you with your food preparation. It is practically an all-in-one kitchen appliance, which I am certain you would love to have. I mean, imagine just having one appliance do most of your tasks quicker and easier.

Cuisinart DLC-2011BCN Prep 11 Plus Food Processor Specifications:

11-cup Lexan work bowl virtually shatterproof, dishwasher-safe
Speed automatically adjusts to ensure proper dough consistency
New, simple-to-use feed tube and pusher assembly
Extra-large feed tube is 4-1/4 by 2-3/4 inches
Small feed tube inside pusher
Dough blade, slicing/shredding discs, spatula, recipes, how-to video included
Weighs approx. 18 lbs.
Includes a 45 minute How-To video
Recipe booklet containing 75 recipes
3 Year limited warranty for the entire machine
10 Year limited warranty for the motor

What more can you ask for from a kitchen appliance that chops, slices, shreds, minces, grates, mixes, whips and purees and kneads dough quickly? Imagine doing all of this with the multipurpose Cuisinart DLC-2011BCN Prep 11 Plus Food Processor. It is an 11-cup capacity work bowl, which also includes metal chopping/mixing blade, metal dough blade, serrated slicing disc, shredding disc, detachable disc stem and plastic spatula, makes it so versatile.

This unit also has a very unique one-piece Supreme wide-mouth feed tube assembly, but has two openings. The smaller opening near the centre is used mainly for small food ingredients or if you simply want to add liquid to your mixture. The larger opening handles whole items, which means you can fit whole fruits and vegetables without any problems.

The Cuisinart DLC-2011BCN includes different types of blades, which is very ideal depending on how you want the outcome of your food to be. For example, you can use the stainless-steel “S” chopping blade on fruits and vegetables. You can however, also use the same blade for fish, meat, and cheese as well. The slicing disc is perfect for slicing potatoes, while the shredding disc is handy for grating nuts and chocolates.

Cuisinart DLC-2011BCN Prep 11 Plus Food Processor can also be used to perform some mixing tasks. Mixing batter, beating egg whites, or preparing cookie dough is possible; however, you will not get the same results in regards to the fluffy consistency as you would if you used an ordinary mixer. On the other hand, you can cut your kneading time for bread dough to just about 1 minute.

Although the expanded feature is a nice addition for a food processor, compared to other machines, this unit comes with a more complicated feed tube compared to standard feed tubes. But with all the things that this food processor can do, this is just a minor drawback.

Now ask yourself, why trouble yourself with a bunch of kitchen appliances that may just end up stuck in the pantry and end up forgetting it was even there?

Oster 3212 Inspire Food Processor Review

may — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 17:21:19 +0000

I have been shopping around for the most reliable food processor that I can use in my kitchen. I am so meticulous when it comes to preparing food for my family. Luckily, I was able to find a product that is highly recommended by Consumer Reports for its quality and price. It’s one of the “Best Buy” products you can also find online and when it has this mark, it assures you of its quality and performance, not to mention its affordability.

Oster 3212 Inspire Food Processor Product Specifications:

500 watts for powerful motor
10 cup capacity food processor
Durable stainless steel base provides support for the
Stainless steel S blade stays sharp and cuts quickly
Reversible slicing and shredding discs and metal dough blade
storage case, custom spatula, and gourmet French fry cutter included
Measures 10 by 13 by 17 inches,
1-year limited warranty

The Oster 3212 Inspire Food Processor is a very powerful kitchen appliance that packs a whopping 500-watt motor power. It is very effective in slicing, diving, and chopping vegetables, soft and hard fruits alike, savory sauces, baby food and cereals, sandwich spreads like jams and cheeses. It is also very consistent in shredding or slicing hams, sausages and thin slices of meats although it would have been the perfect food processor, if I can control the thickness or thinness of the slices.

Well, I just hope they can come with another version that has that sort of control. The size is just right for any kitchen countertop. The weight is very ideal and you can easily carry it in any cook off or something. One thing that I do love about the Oster food processor is its extremely quiet sound when turned on –silent and powerful. Now, you don’t usually get that from other food processors that have the same power.

The Oster 3212 Inspire also has a sleek design that any owner would be proud of. It has an extra large feed tube that can accommodate whole fruits and vegetable with very minimal sectioning. Some say it’s heavy at 15 pounds for its size but I don’t mind. It makes it sturdier actually and that’s what I like. You can feel the power of this appliance just by holding it with your hands.

The cutting blades are extra sharp as well making slicing and chopping very neat but be careful when you receive your package because there is no blade guard ( that is something the manufacturer missed, I think). You have to open it really careful or you might slice off your finger or so. It’s a little unsafe. I just hope that the company would realize that. It’s a small flaw compared to the benefits this little piece of work can give you.

It has a very neat plastic storage container for its accessories though which makes up for the flaw. All of its components are dishwasher- safe. Overall, the performance of the Oster 3212 inspire food processor is very impressive.

Oster 3212 Inspire Food Processor at a glance

Pros:

Quiet motor
Affordable for its power and design
Extra large feed tube

Cons:

Blades have no blade guards
French fry cutter, what is that?

People who love to cook have found a reliable cooking companion in the form of this food processor. It has helped simplify food preparation and save more time in the process. I can relate to that and the Oster 3212 Inspire Food Processor made preparing food much easier.

If you want to be as creative in cooking as you can possibly can, then the KitchenAid KFP7I5 7-Cup Food Processor can help you in that area. This small but heavy kitchen appliance is unnaturally heavy for its size. Although it perfectly fits any space in your kitchen or countertop, accidently making it fall to the floor can hurt you because of its weight.

It is best to put it somewhere safer than near the edge of a countertop or tabletop. Well, just some pre-cautionary measures to make cooking more enjoyable without any accidents, of course.

KitchenAid KFP7I5 7-Cup Food Processor Product Specifications:

High-performance induction motor
Stainless steel multipurpose blade
Full-size feed tube and pusher
Pulse control

KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor is not too big and not too small, just the perfect size you need. It makes it so easy to clean with its smooth finish. It has a classy look so it will really look good on your kitchen. This appliance helps you finish your job at the kitchen much easier and faster.

It gives you the chance to be as creative as you please with its multiple blades and other attachments that go with the package.

It has a stainless steel multi-purpose blade that makes it more effective in its function and purpose.

The KitchenAid 715 food processor is definitely a great buy because it is a powerful food processor. It slices, mixes, etc. without interruption like clogging, inconsistent blade action, etc. The operation is so easy and you don’t need to read the entire manual just to figure out how it works, but of course, every user is still encourage to read the product manual as much as possible for other safety reminders.

The accessories are so easy to attach and detach. The blades and attachments are so easy to clean and they are dishwasher-safe as well. The slicing or grating disk is really sharp so better be careful in assembling or disassembling it. That is what I really loved about the KitchenAid 715 food processor though, the blades and disks are really sharp and that makes slicing, dicing and chopping faster and easier making your food look like it was prepared by a professional cook.

Cuisinart DLC-4CHB Mini-Prep Plus 4-Cup Food Processor Review

may — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:43:40 +0000

The Cuisinart DLC-4CHB Mini-Prep Plus 4-Cup Food Processor is one of the best food processors I’ve ever came across with. Its specially designed stainless steel chopping blade, a clear 4-cup work bowl with lid – which is twice the capacity of any standard mini choppers, and comes with a 250-watt motor makes it very useful compared to others.

Cuisinart DLC-4CHB Mini-Prep Plus 4-Cup Food Processor Product Specification:

Mini food processor with 4-cup capacity work bowl
Touch-pad controls; auto-reversing blade for chopping or grinding
Easy-grip handle; dishwasher-safe parts make cleanup a snap
Custom spatula and instruction book with recipes included
Measures 5-2/5 by 7-3/5 by 9-8/9 inches
18-month limited warranty

The Cuisinart DLC-4CHB Mini-Prep Plus 4-Cup Food Processor comes in a brushed stainless steel finish provides a very nice look. Plus the fact that it holds a 4 cup capacity, really saves you time and gives you extra room for processing ingredients, which is why it is also very useful with preparing everyday meals. Just simply place the food onto the work bowl, lock the cover, and press the button depending on whether you want to chop or grind. It’s as easy as that!

The unit uses a 250-watt motor, which works perfectly well with the auto reversing blades. It is actually quite powerful and amazingly does not make that much more noise compared to a smaller, less powerful unit.

Although it is powerful, the Cuisinart DLC-4CHB may still require you to do some prep work like cutting your ingredients into small pieces before placing it inside the bowl. And it is also best to leave some room and not overcrowd the work bowl to get the results you want with the ingredients.

What I like most about it is that you can easily activate the motor in either chop or grind modes, all depending on how you control the push buttons. If you quickly press and release the button, it creates a short burst of power which can be used to chop delicate food such as onion, celery, garlic, etc. But if you were to grind any hard food items, like spices, all you have to do is simply press and hold down the button.

This unit only has two quick and easy touchpad controls. The auto reversing blades mean there is no longer the need to switch out or replace the blades whether you want to chop or grind your food items. If you press the chop button, it uses the sharper side of the blade which allows you to slice cleanly through soft foods, while the grind button makes the blade turn towards the other direction using the blunt side of the blade to grind harder ingredients.

Cuisinart DLC-4CHB Mini-Prep Plus 4-Cup Food Processor at a glance

Pros:

A 4- cup work bowl for more capacity
Auto reversing blades means you can chop or grind without having to switch blades
Simple touchpad controls
Lightweight and small enough to keep on the counter

Cons:

No shredding/slicing capability

The Cuisinart DLC-4CHB Mini-Prep Plus 4-Cup Food Processor, to me, is by far the easiest and most functional food processor I’ve ever used. I highly recommend this unit!

Non-Skid Suction Feet
This machine can be big but it definitely is something that you would want to have in the house. And because it is powerful, your worry is that it may slip off and hurt somebody. Black and Decker thought of that and made this machine to come with non-skid suction feet so they stay put where you want them to be.

Power, design, and comfort – these are what the Black & Decker FP2500S Wide-Mouth Food Processor promises to bring. But it does not only promise that – it delivers.
