Me and Mrs H have been searching for a good food processor for some time, and the Cuisinart Elite Collection Food Processor certainly fits the bill. It does just about every thing we want it to. In fact we're trying to teach it to walk the dog for us..*
It comes in a versatile three-in-one design and can handle different sized batches - there's a four-half-cup small work bowl and an 11-cup medium work bowl which nest neatly inside the 14-cup large work bowl so, for example, if your recipe requires using multiple bowls, you'll be able to begin with the smallest bowl to minimize cleaning. This way the small bowl can serve as a prep bowl to prepare chopped ingredients| for a recipe. The bowls lock into place while nested. All three bowls are constructed of extremely durable polycarbonate, they have measurement marks up the side, and drip-free pouring spouts so you do not have to clean your clothes each time you use it.. It additionally has a unique SealTight Advantage System to seal the bowls and lock the blades for clean, safe processing and pouring (this ensures that you keep all your fingers too, which is a bonus). The Cuisinart Elite Collection Food Processor additionally has a wide-mouth feed tube which accommodates larger ingredients, reducing the need for slicing food into smaller pieces, and the electronic touchpad control panel provides 4 selections - on, off, pulse, and dough.
Accessories include an adjustable 6 position stainless-steel slicing disc (1 to 6 mm), a reversible stainless-steel shredding disc (fine/medium), a large and small stainless-steel chopping/mixing blade, and a dough blade for doing, erm, dough.
The Cuisinart Elite Collection Food Processor is very well designed in my opinion. It additionally has blue LED indicator lights, an extremely simple 'on/off' locking system with a push-button release, dishwasher-safe detachable components and a retractable power cord so theres less clutter. Also included are a lockable accessory storage case, spatula, "how-to" DVD, and recipe/instruction book. The unit measures 7.8 by 10.55 by 17 inches and comes a three-year limited warranty plus a 10-year warranty on the a thousand-watt motor. It's also obtainable in both black, white or die-cast colours.
So, just to recap The Cuisinart Elite Collection Food Processor (Taken from the Cuisinart website) :
