Clever and Versatile Food Processor
I am a vegetarian so use my food processor every day if not several times a day. I have gone through 4 or 5 other processors (Cuisinarts, Black and Decker, Braun). So far I love this one best because someone very clever thought of everything from the little tiny hole on the feed tube "plunger" for making mayonnaise, to clever underneath storage where everything has its place.
Of course this processor chops and shreds and does the usual, but the wonderful thing is that I have made soups and sauces in it without it leaking all over (the seal on the lid and the center post design). I've hardly used my blender since the TFal has arrived (blenders are a pain to clean and get things out of)!
The unique dual sized feed tube has been great-keeps carrots from falling over while being chopped. I also enjoy the way the lid fits on, easy and quick.
All the accessories come with it and have their storage place (except juicer).
So far I've done lots of...
It dices! It slices! It makes mounds of...you know the rest.
So far this is one terrifically designed little work-horse of a food processor! I'm thrilled with the capabilities. For a mid-size model it's very convenient, doesn't bog down with heavy work, and has nifty little features I love.
The lid is an easy on/off. There is a dial, not push buttons/control panel. Dials seem sturdier and longer lasting IMO. So far I have made shredded zucchini, sliced cucumbers, salsa, juice, & whipped cream with nary a glitch. I'm really happy with several features.
1. The base that stores away the attachments. I need all the space I can get and it works nicely.
2. There are two foods slots in the lid, one for bigger food one for smaller. I made sliced pickles in this machine and without the smaller slot the cukes would have toppled and the slices wouldn't be uniform. It worked great having two sizes.
3. The part that pushes the food through doubles as a measuring cup (1 cup size) on one side and a drip dispenser on the other for slowly...
This IS the One to Buy
Although my cooking is now limited to family & entertaining, I have cooked professionally. My husband is now on a special diet, and as a result, I'm cooking even more, so that I can prepare the kind of foods he enjoys without the ingredients he can't have.
I've also owned a total of four food processors, ranging from Oster to Cuisinart. Bulky, heavy, difficult to haul out, put together & clean.
I did a lot of research before I purchased this one, and was planning to purchase a Kitchenaid 8-11 cup model based on consumer magazine reviews. I've never owned a T-Fal appliance before, and had little experience with their quality. I was intrigued by the storage concept, and that the power of the motor was identical to the Kitchenaid models. The motor is also made in France, like the Kitchenaid.
THIS BABY HUMS!
- VERY light (easily keep it in a 12" wide wall cabinet and take it down with no effort)
- VERY quiet
- VERY easy to put together and take...
