Food Processor - Your Reviews

Hey Guys,

Recently, I decided to buy a FP after all the good things one can do using it. I always had this thought it was just a luxury and one can manage without it. But Chits yummu dishes make it so promising that I can not only use it to the fullest, but also make many dishes with ease.

So here I am. All the FP owners, please share your model, cost and your review.

Checking online is too intimidating. I might get some idea with your inputs !!

Thanks much !!

Cusinart only.

Hi Nandhu,
This is the one I have Amazon.com: Cuisinart DFP-3 Handy Prep 3-Cup Food Processor: Home & Garden

Actually I bought it couple of years back but never used it properly.After reading replies in another thread from AC madam and Chitvish madam I'm using it regularly to make Chappathi dough and vada maavu.

Thanks
Mangai

I use cuisinart most times. I also use Hamilton Beach for chopping, shredding and slicing. I like salad shooter also shredding.

Thanks mangaii... I was away from it thinking, I might not use it to the fullest.. but seeing Chits thread, was motivated..

So no issues so far?

Nandu,

I have kitchen aid one Kitchen Aid 11 Cup Food Processor-Onyx Black - 498691-DO.
I use it for masala vada grinding and also kneading dough. I must say that the phulkas do come out softer than hand kneaded dough...

Only problem with me is sometimes I feel its easy to hand knead the dough as we don't have to worry abt washing the jars, blades etc:) I bought it from amazon 2 years ago..paid around $125 for this model.

The Hamilton Beach and salad shooter have been with me for some time now. I use HB for large quantities for roti dough and vadai doughs. No motor heat issues. Don't have papers to check model as it is old. Will try to find it online and get back.

Thanks Sihi...

11 cup is kinda big for me, I think..

With the inspiration Nandhu.. I am surfing for us too

Advices welcome.... whether this is fine for us :

Bed Bath & Beyond Product

Gowri.. I think it wouldnt knead ... may be I am wrong..

lets see what experts say !!!
