Mini-Prep Processor- White

The Cuisinart Mini-Prep food processor stands 8 inches tall and just over 4 inches wide, but don't let the size fool you. The base houses a motor so powerful that you need to stabilize it with one hand when using the high setting to whip up a strawberry-banana smoothie for one in less than a minute. The clear plastic prep bowl locks into place with a simple twist, while the blades can be set sharp side up for chopping onions or grating Parmesan cheese, or turned blunt side up for making walnut pesto or whipping up chocolate frosting. The set includes a spatula and a cleaning brush to remove coffee grounds.

For best results, cut ingredients into small, even pieces--about 1/2-inch square or so works well. In general, use the sharp-edge approach for low speed and the blunt side of the blades for high speed. If you need to run the motor for longer than one minute, pause and begin again. The bowl, cover, and blade assembly can all be run through the dishwasher, but watch your fingers when dissembling the machine, as the blades are extremely sharp. --Irene Svete

I have been very pleased with the Cuisinart DLC-1BCH Mini-Prep Processor in attractive black chrome. It is easy to use, makes chopping and food preparation fast and easy. Cleans up in a jiffy and looks attractive on the counter top. We received this item within a week of buying it through Amazon.com. You cannot beat Cuisinart products.

My only regret is that I didn't get a Cuisinart mini-processor sooner. The three cup capacity is just right; the appliance is easy to clean; and best of all, it does exactly what it is supposed to do. I have made garlic paste to freeze, grilling rubs of herbs and spices, minced basil in oil for freezing, and mixed herb salad dressings. The reversible blade gives versatility and the motor stands up to nuts and hard cheeses. It is handsome enough in the black/chrome to leave out on the counter, but frankly, I use it so much I'd leave it out even if it were bright pink!

I purchased this to make baby food and it fit the bill perfectly. No complaints.

I bought it for prepare baby food. It took a very long time to puree the food. There still little piece of food left after I puree for a long time. I end up refund it, and buy a blender. It work better with a blender.

At first I was thrilled with this little chopper. The first one I purchased I had for two weeks. A seed got caught in the rim and cracked the lid. I really liked the size and convince so I bought another. That one lasted for one week. The blade scraped the bottom of the bowl and I was eating plastic with my yogurt! I am going to try a Krups.
