cuisinart duet combination food processor blender Free Interesting Article

December 17th, 2009 |

I’ve owned this product for 6 years and it was my introduction to food processing. First, the blender is awesome. Great. Wonderful. Very effective and fast. Great quality. Sturdy.

The food processor is where the quality tends to drop. I haven’t had problems with anything breaking. It’s just that the chopping isn’t very consistent. It tends to either leave lots of over sized chunks, or to change everything into an absolute puree. There’s no in between. For the longest time I thought I was using it incorrectly, but after purchasing a larger food processor that also includes a prep bowl that works perfectly and with precision, I think it’s just this product. I did successfully use this small food processor to make biscuit dough, and it did a nice job.

The shredding disc works fine. The only limitation of course is the size of the bowl. As long as you don’t mind doing your shredding for potato pancakes or cheese for lasgana in batches, it’s not a problem.

It is decently easy to clean, though I find that my larger food processor is actually easier with less stuff getting caught in corners.

The final blow against this product is the food processor noise. It’s incredibly loud, to the point where I’ve pondered ear plugs if you’re processing anything for more than a couple of pulses.

While trying to pick out my new food processor, a cuisinart sales person tried to explain away these faults that this is simply part of the product being small, and that the craftsmanship as compared to the larger cuisinarts cannot is inferior. So if you’re doing light cooking in very small quantities, this is probably an ok purchase for you. If you do more intermediate to serious cooking, I would definitely not recommend this.
