Cuisinart 11 Cup Food Processor
I came to learn about the cuisinart 11 cup food processor through its sister, the 14 cup processor, as I was exploring the 14 cup food processor’s features, I realized (as much as I appreciate its features) that maybe not everyone would need a food processor that big in power and features, so, I thought, let’s take a deeper look into this one.
So, according to the five things to look for when buying a food processor, here is how the cuisinart 11 cup food processor measures:
- Motor power: the cuisinart 11 cup food processor has a powerful 700 watt motor. While slightly less that its larger version, the 14 cup, it still is quite impressive, able to perform many functions for the small household requirements.
- Number of work bowls: the cuisinart 11 cup food processor only has one work bowl. So, for a smaller household, it could be the perfect companion, as not everyone wants extra bowels, because it may mean extra care and work.
- Bowl seals: with the cuisinart 11 cup food processor the bowl itself is designed to close firmly and tight ensuring nothing spills or leaks to the outside.
- Width of feedtube: the feedtube for the cuisinart 11 cup food processor is quite impressive! It is a one piece supreme wide mouth feed tube that holds whole fruits and vegetables.
- Accessories: Still impressive, the cuisinart 11 cup food processor comes with 2 stainless steel slicing discs (2 mm and 4mm), copping/mixing blade, small and large pushers, Spatula, Instruction/recipe book, 2 stainless steel shredding discs (4mm & 6mm), metal dough steel blade, detachable disk stem and a how-to DVD
It comes with a 3 year warranty on the entire unit and a full 10 year warranty on the motor.
With all the details above, it may not be something you would want to use at home but it makes a perfect gift for small couple just starting a home, especially now that in modern cooking the food processor has become an integral part of modern cooking, as it speeds the whole process significantly. It can knead dough, slice, chop, shred cheese, veggies, meat, garlic and parsley. Ideal for vegans and vegetarians, as it can make pates and dips, sauces and cold soups. Easy to clean, not many parts that need to be cleaned.
If you love cooking and love to cook big batches of food at once, this machine can handle anything you throw at it, several cups of nuts at once or even pureeing large quantities of vegetables and handles dough quite well.
The only downside of this machine is that it is hard to clean, so many people are encouraged to just use it when they have a big batch of things to process or when they have a large amount of dough to make. Having said that, it cleans wonderfully in a dishwasher.
Pricewise, it can be a big savings relative to the other ‘fancier’ looking food processors while doing the same thing, so, it is ideal if you don’t want to spend the extra money and does quite well. Plus, you can’t go wrong with Cuisinart!
