The Complete Chef, however, did struggle a bit with larger chopping tasks when the bowl was filled to the max line. When it came to the food processing component, it produced thinly sliced potatoes with its adjustable slicing blade, and it had no problem finely chopping parsley and almonds. The Cuisinart Complete Chef Cooking Food Processor is a fully functioning food processor that also works as a multicooker. Power: 550 watt motor, 1000 watt heater.A case to corral all the accessories is also included, but that means you have to find storage space to keep it.ĭicing and spiralizer accessories are available and they work well but they do have lots of small parts that you also have to assemble and store when you’re not using them.Īs long as you find room in the top rack, all of the parts are dishwasher safe. This processor comes with a 13-cup bowl and a smaller 4½-cup one, chopping and kneading blades, a slicing disc that adjusts for 7 different thicknesses, a shredding disc that reverses for thin or thick shreds, and a plastic spatula. It’s also located in the front, making it easier to add food.
The feed tube is large enough to hold a block of mozzarella but can be adjusted to be thin enough to accommodate a pepperoni. To operate this machine, you must be sure to align all the parts, but it’s easy to quickly get the hang of it and they turn and lock into place smoothly.
Whether you’re slicing potatoes for an au gratin, mincing herbs, or kneading pizza dough, this processor delivers reliable results. The Cuisinart Stainless Steel 13-Cup Food Processor is another good choice for people looking for a large chopper to perform a variety of cooking prep chores. A disc storage unit, a flat lid, other size shredding and slicing discs, and whisk attachments can be purchased separately. It’s available in white or black with stainless accents or all brushed stainless steel. The Custom 14 is easy to clean: Cuisinart is the only manufacturer that goes beyond just "dishwasher safe" and actually encourages you to wash the parts in the dishwasher. While it’s running, the Cuisinart is so quiet it won’t shut down conversation in the kitchen. As the tube is large, there’s no need to cut a block of mozzarella or a beefsteak tomato in half before processing them. The food feeding chute locks into place at the rear of the bowl, which is slightly inconvenient when you’re feeding in food, but makes it easier to see what’s happening in the bowl during processing. Be aware that it’s a little tricky to click them into place. To use the discs, you attach them to a stem that sits in the bowl. In addition to the basic chopping, mixing and dough blade, it comes with shredding and slicing discs. The operation is simple: There are two large levers to press, one to run the processor continuously and then shut it off and one for pulse.
Although it shredded without stalling, like every model we tested it failed to produce shreds evenly. Shredding mozzarella was the only chore at which it faltered. The Cuisinart “Custom 14” food processor excelled at almost every task, chopping onions and slicing tomatoes as well as a razor-sharp chef's knife and kneading pizza dough into a smooth elastic ball.
