I was looking for a food processor and came across these, I never heard of them,,,,,,,,,do they work, says a whole tomato or small potato. This would be a time saver and no chopping by hand. Thanks for any information.

Do you have a link to what you're looking at? I'd be interested, too - never have understood why you have to process the food before you can process the food.

Our very old, but very lightly used, Braun died a month ago from a condition called "too much butter". We replaced it with a Breville. Key features were the really large feeder. No need to cut down most veggies. Also should handle the butter churning load.

I looked at Sears on-line, one was Hamilton Beach and Black and Decker. I just looked under food processors. I thought it was a great idea.......just didn't know which brand to choose.

I have 2 food processors. One is very small so I use it for small jobs and it's in the kitchen all the time. I have another larger kitchenaid that comes with all the attachments, etc. I use it during canning season. The mostly worn out Kitchenaid, is used to grate bars of soap for laundry soap. I like them all.

I have a Cuisinart FP-12MR and absolutely detest the thing.  The widemouth feeder has a safety lockout if you try anything over ~3" tall. The handle collects water when washing and will take days to dry out - mold can build up in this time. The lid has all sorts of nook and crannies that are pain to clean, as do the various knives. There is a bit of clearance between the shredder & slicer plates and the pusher that leads to "tails" of food that don't get shredded/sliced. If you're considering this machine I'd suggest you pass on it. |

I have a friend that is selling me a lot of stuff for scrap price and I am finding so much of it is still good. Yesterday I thought of this topic when I plugged in a commercial food chopper and found it to be in perfect condition. It is all aluminum so I got it for scrap AL price. Large mouth? You could feed your fist down it's throat.
There were seven old electric chainsaws in that load and so far I have checked out four great ones and two seized up ones. There is one more to check out but it looks like a great one. |
