I make almost all my meals from scratch, have a food processor, and only use it for making hummus.
But the one I have should last me a lifetime. It's really simple, powerful, big enough, not crazy expensive:
[Cuisinart Food Processor](https://a.co/d/cMarnhc)
I just bought a Cuisinart 7 cup food processor at the thrift store today for $5! I also got a Breville centrifuge juicer for $7.50. It was a good thrifting day.
I've had the same Cuisinart Pro Classic 7 Cup Food Processor for about 10 years now. I use it a couple times a week. I've made just about everything you can imagine with it. It has a nice strong motor and is not too big so it's easy to store. It is a bit heavy due to the heavy duty motor, but that's not a bad thing.
I have the smaller cousin to this, the 7-cup model. And it's been really great. I may need to do larger jobs in batches, but that's really no worries. I just found out about grating parmesan with it; total game changer. So that's an option for a smaller price tag, but it's true it's a smaller model too.
I've been using the Cuisinart 7-Cup Pro Classic \[DLC-10SYP1\] since 2018 and it's been great.
I usually go with the 34.5 oz tub of Great Value Honey Roasted Peanuts
I downsized to a Cuisinart 7 cup because my old 12 cup was too big. A 7 cup is the right size for us two, and it has enough capacity and power to make a loaf of bread or some focassia, which I do often
I usually do one loaf at a time and I always use the food processor. I have Cuisinart 7 cup with the dough blade which probably puts less of a load on the motor and it is easier and faster than the mixer. I usually do a final kneading by hand no matter what machine that I use to get the dough to the final stage.
