"It gets at minimum weekly use (weekend meal prep) and sometimes more ... I originally bought the Cuisinart because I was struggling to process our CSA boxes every week. It's far easier to set up, use, and clean the food processor than it is to stand and chop 30lbs of produce!"
"Admittedly it's a pain to clean if you're using the attachments, but the regular bowls and blades are a cinch (and I've washed them plenty of times on the top rack of the dishwasher without issue)."
"Dishwasher safe."

"I bought the same one in 1995 for $50 on clearance at Mervyn's Department Store. ... 30 years later you have to fiddle with the lid to get it to lock on."
"I have had the Cuisinart 14 cup for over 20 years. It is a beast."
"I’ve had that Cuisinart 14 cup food processor for about 30 years, still going strong."

"I agree that the 14 cup felt massive. But you can’t overfill a food processor if you want lightly chopped veggies and not mush. So I like that I can process veggies and not have to do a dozen different round of chopping. I’m frequently chopping Costco sized amounts of veggies (like 3-6 lbs), so the huge capacity is reasonable."
"The 14 cup Cuisinart is a workhorse."
"It really does well with large batches of hummus, salsa and relish."

"My Cuisinart 14 cup is a beast and has every attachment on earth (including a dicer and spiralizer, which both get heavy use). ... It's far easier to set up, use, and clean the food processor than it is to stand and chop 30lbs of produce!"
"I use cuisinart for dough making and grating , fine slicing etc , it works great for that."

"I've been making peanut butter with my food processor and it turns out better than any other PB. ... I use a 16 ounce jar of Planter's Salted Dry Roasted Peanuts and a few teaspoons of Planter's Peanut oil to get it to my desired consistency."

"So I don't use it to shred cheeses or harder vegetables (like broccoli and cauliflower, I damaged the disc mounting spot when I did)"
"Mine had a lid clip fail so I need to hold the lid on for it to work. ... Really irritated with it for the price, honestly."
"Funny you should comment, my plastic bowl just broke. ... It was the tab that held the lid and took the pressure to press the safety."

"11 and 14 cups is not the actual capacity. You can't pack a food processor to the brim. You're really only using maybe 1/3rd of the space in there."
"I have the cuisinart 14 cup and regret not getting one slightly smaller. ... smaller bowl would just make small volumes of dressings easier."
"There's a big hole in the middle that comes up around 1/3rd to 1/2-way up. If you overfill, the liquids will fall into the hole."

14c is the standard has been around forever and recipes that use a food processor (pie dough and such) assume 14c
r/Cooking • Food processor? ->Cuisinart 14cup It’s a classic and a beast Get the vitamix immersion blender to replace your big blender no food processor will work well as s blender too
r/Cooking • Food processor recommendations; 10 cup minimum, dough capability, pulse ->You should probably specify a budget. I have a vitamix, at least 15 years old now, and love it. It can blend anything and if the blending gets too hot, it kicks in a safety switch that turns it off. Probably what gives it its longevity. But it’s a $500 blender. I like my Cuisinart 14 cup. Also quite expensive at $250. But I cook every meal at home. I use the blender every day and I use the food processor every time I meal prep, at least once a week. Edit: I looked up the wattage. The food processor I use is 750 watts. The vitamix is about 1500.
r/PlantBasedDiet • Blender and/or food processor recommendations? ->Agreed. My 14 cup is going on 23 years old. It's not even that hard to clean compared to some others. And it's never once jumped around on the counter while being used, I'd wait for the 14 cup sale also.
r/BuyItForLife • Does anyone know how this 12 cup die-cast metal Cuisinart food processor from Costco compares to the 14 cup version with the paddle buttons that is always recommended? ->Cuisinart 14 cup. Nice capacity and the short pulse allows for good texture without completely liquifying everything.
r/SalsaSnobs • What’s your favorite blender/food processor for salsa? ->Cuisinart is the benchmark for a reason. I’ve had my 14-cup model for about 10 years at this point, never regretted it.
r/Cooking • Need a New Food Processor Recommendation ->I have both. I think you’d be happy with either machine.
r/Cooking • Food processor advantage over knife? Cuisinart 14 cup vs Breville Sous Chef 16? ->The Breville one I got, I was able to add additional blades. The dicing blades are very cool. The Breville one feels more powerful and smoother. I think you’d be happy with either one. If I had to pick one it would probably be the Breville. When I was considering purchasing the Breville I watched a lot of YouTube video reviews to help me decide in case that is of any help to you. Happy to answer any specific questions you have.
r/Cooking • Food processor advantage over knife? Cuisinart 14 cup vs Breville Sous Chef 16? ->Either machine can do any food processing task you throw at them. The motor power is noticeably better with the Breville. The Breville has a blade specifically for dough; it does just fine with dough. The Breville has optional blades for making diced cubes of vegetables that are not an option with the Cuisinart.
r/Cooking • Food processor advantage over knife? Cuisinart 14 cup vs Breville Sous Chef 16? ->I bought the same one in 1995 for $50 on clearance at Mervyn's Department Store. 30 years later you have to fiddle with the lid to get it to lock on. Picked up a NIB 7-cup pro classic for $20 at Goodwill last Thursday. Now I have one set up to chop and the other to grate. I'm living the life here lemme tell you.
r/BuyItForLife • BIFL: Food processors. Which ones actually do what they promise to do? ->To tell the truth, I rarely use the upright jar blender. Mostly i use an immersion blender. But I'm not a smoothie person. Get the 14 cup Cuisinart food processor. That's going to take most of the budget.
r/BuyItForLife • Recommendations for a good quality blender and food processor ->I have a Blendtec . . . just get a Vitamix. It'll last forever, do all it claims, and you'll never be like, "should I upgrade?" 10-15 years from now. As for a food processor, Cuisinart 14 cup, same logic, buy once, cry once, it will last the rest of your life and you'll be able to find replacement parts if anything breaks or 3rd-party accessories. Since you're waiting on the Vitamix till next year anyways, just get a dedicated food processor and maybe some bells n whistles. (Different blades, dough blade, etc)
r/Cooking • Blenders: Vitamix vs Ninja (I know, I know...) ->I have the 14 cup cuisinart - no complaints, it works great.
r/Cooking • Looking for suggestions on buying a food processor. ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
