And while the warranty is good - a full five years on the motor and limited three years on the entire unit - the Breville offers a 10-year motor warranty. Of course, it’s not perfect: We preferred the Breville’s adjustable slicing disc for paper thin to thick cuts and we wish Cuisinart included a mini work bowl for smaller jobs. But the smaller tube allows you to keep long, thin veggies, like carrots or celery, straight as they go through, which maintains a uniform slice.Īll the parts on the Cuisinart Classic are dishwasher-safe (and the manual recommends dishwasher cleaning) and they fit into the bowl for easier storage, making cleaning up and putting everything away a breeze. The Cuisinart also comes with large and small feed tubes and pushers, which helps to process different size foods.The wide tube, at 4 1/2 inches, is important for larger items, such as whole bricks of cheese, onions or potatoes - meaning you won’t have to spend time pre-chopping before sending them through the chute. The machine doesn’t come with a separate dough blade, as many of its competitors did, but we used the chopping S-blade to make the fastest and best pizza dough of the bunch nonetheless.Īnother thing that set the Cuisinart Classic apart was the rear placement of the food chute we liked this better than the front placement common to the other models we tested, since it makes it much easier to see what is going on inside without having to peer around the chute. ![]() The recipes we tested came together quickly and beautifully with the touch of just two wide paddle buttons (on and off/pulse). ![]() The 14-cup bowl was the largest capacity of any model we tested, allowing you to make extra-large batches of sauces, soups, and more. Yes, it’s a sturdy 18 1/2-pounds, but it chops, minces, slices and shreds with precision and speed. We especially appreciated the powerful 750-watt motor and a brushed stainless steel base, which doesn’t budge no matter how much you put it to work. The Cuisinart Custom 14-Cup Food Processor is basic in design and doesn’t include a ton of accessories (it comes with a stainless steel 4mm slicing disc, shredding disc and chopping S-blade, plus a recipe book and spatula) but it outperformed the other machines we tested by leaps and bounds. Lots of bells and whistles can be fun, but when it comes to testing food processors, high quality, simple craftsmanship and a tried-and-true design win out in the end. Lucky for you, we've researched the best of the best food choppers on the market to save you time (and tears) and make prep time a little more enjoyable.Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account ![]() You could spend an hour painstakingly chopping your ingredient into tiny squares-or, enlist a a good food chopper to do it for you. (No judgement!) Does your recipe call for a brunoise cut? The super fine dice, a classic cut in French cuisine, is beautiful but time consuming to achieve. Not only that, but food choppers come in handy if your knife skills leave something to be desired. Dicing vegetables can be meditative, sure, but what if you're in a rush-or if chopping a mountain of onions makes you weep buckets? Whether you're whipping up the ultimate jalapeño-spiked salsa, garlicky bruschetta, hearty beef goulash, or creamy sour cream and onion dip, a good food chopper can make life a whole lot easier. Here at Delish, we love cooking (obviously), but we're always looking for tools that help cut down on prep time. ![]()
