Cuisinart Elite Collection 14-Cup Food Processor Review
3 min read[ad_1]
I love cooking and enjoy collecting some kitchen appliances/gadgets every now and then. So, it’s about time to check out the range of food processors. I’ve been using food processors for many years, but have never really researched them. I assumed that it was just another kitchen appliance and all I needed was to buy one that fitted my budget.
How wrong was I? In fact, there’s more to it. The other day, I made time to really get into the details and came across the best food processor on today’s market. My extensive study finally led me to the Cuisinart Elite Collection 14-Cup Food Processor.
What to Look for While Buying a Food Processor?
I came to realize that there are a few imperative things to bear in mind while buying this appliance. They are:
- The number of watts
- The work bowls
- The leakage prevention
- The width of the feed tube
- The accessories
If you buy the product based on cheap price only, chances are you will be facing some problems down the road. So stick with me as I’m going to explain each of these in relation to this product.
How Many Watts?
The greater the watts are, the faster the motor spins; therefore, the more powerful the food processor is. This product is more for people that run a serious kitchen or bake a lot due to its peak power motor with 1000 watts. It can quickly slice, dice, chop, puree and help reduce prep time in the kitchen.
A Versatile Work Bowls 3-in-1 Design
It comes with a 4-1/2-cup work bowl and an 11-cup work bowl that nest inside a 14-cup work bowl. Having 3 different sized bowls is a big deal – the nesting bowls helps with space and you can do several tasks at once, such as handling multiple-sized batches. All the 3 bowls feature long-lasting polycarbonate construction, measurement marks up the side, and drip-free pour spouts.
Blade-Locking System
Have you ever had the leaking problem while using the food processor? According to Cuisinart, it applies an exclusive SealTight Advantage System that seals the bowls and locks the blades for safe and clean processing and pouring. The SealTight blade and lid assembly allow you to utilize the maximum of every bowl’s processing power without any leaks or spills. It truly ensures quick and easy cleaning and handling.
Big Mouth Does Matter!
Normally you will find that most food processors have a smaller-mouth feed tube. What that means is you can only put a smaller chuck or portion of food through the tube. However, with this product, because of its wide-mouth feed tube that can accommodate larger ingredients, it reduces the need for cutting food into smaller pieces and its electronic touchpad control panel offers 4 choices for on, off, dough, and pulse.
Disc and Blake Choices
One of the cool things you can find from Cuisinart Elite Collection 14-Cup Food Processor is the accessory. It includes a stainless-steel reversible shredding disc, a stainless-steel adjustable slicing disc, a small and large stainless-steel mixing/chopping blade and a dough blade.
The Ease of Usage and Warranty
This product has a retractable cord and an easy on/off locking system with a push of button. For quick cleaning, you can just remove parts and pop them in the dishwasher. As for the warranty, it comes with a 3-year limited warranty and a 10-year warranty on the motor.
