There is probably nothing so necessary in the kitchen of a serious cook than a food processor. The time saved doing basic culinary chores will allow those who love to cook the opportunity to use that time creatively. When deciding which food processor to purchase, price should not be the first consideration. While there are cheaper models on the market than the Cuisinart DFP-14BCN, there are few processors that can deliver such reliable and dependable service.

While this Cuisinart food processor is at the upper end of the price range, it is a real work horse, and will make your time in the kitchen both more productive and more enjoyable.

This machine will knead the dough easily and quickly, and it will be ready to put into the pan to be baked in no time. A dough blade is an included accessory.

Besides kneading dough, the Cuisinart will chop vegetables quickly, and the cook can choose, with the pulse control, just how finely to chop them. Alternatively, as a slicing blade is included, these can be sliced to whatever thickness desired. Also included with the Cuisinart is a shredding disc which is especially useful for preparing cheese for a number of different recipes. Shredding cheese on a hand grater can take the fun out of preparing pizza or other recipe, but the speed with which this food processor will handle any kind of cheese is a sheer delight. The cheese will also be fresher than cheese that comes pre-shredded.
