Cuisinart DLC-5BK 7-Cup Capacity Food Processor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Perhaps you are thinking, "Do I really need a food processor?" The answer is, "Yes!"
Twenty years ago I bought the same model as this one and it has seen daily use and is still running strong! I thought I wouldn't really use it that much, but once you start using it you find that it makes food preparation so much quicker that soon you can't do without it! Not only is it great for slicing and chopping, but it is also great for preparing bread dough (no more hand kneading!), pureeing, and making peanut butter.
The only time I use a blender instead of the food processor is when I'm pureeing a large amount of liquid (like a hot soup), because it will leak out of the food processor.
Because of the food processor, I find that I make lots of recipes that I formerly wouldn't have because they used to take too much time.
Caution: The blades are razor SHARP! The first week I had my processor, I pulled bread dough off the blade without being very careful, and sliced off the top of my thumb! After 20 years, the blades are still very sharp. The work bowl is a bit scratched and dull, but after 20 years it's a miracle that it's still in one piece!
For my small family, the 7-cup capacity is just right. If I had a larger family, I might invest in one of the larger processors.
