Cuisinart Elemental 4-Cup Chopper & Grinder

You’ll find replacement bowls, food pushers, blades, and various other attachments for the Cuisinart Custom 14 and the Breville Sous Chef 16 Pro (though we should note that they can be quite expensive). You can sometimes find cheaper, secondhand parts on eBay, but just be sure you get the right model number. We read a few reviews by people who disliked how the cuisinart air fryer oven Cuisinart Custom 14’s lid locks with the feed tube in the back rather than in the front (which is standard for most models). However, we think it’s actually easier to see the ingredients in the bowl when the feed tube is positioned in the back of the lid. We recommend this large, 16-cup processor only if you’re cooking for a crowd multiple times a week.

This set even comes with storage lids, so you can conveniently store leftovers in the fridge — no additional container required. Overall, it’s ideal for individuals who cuisinart toa60 don’t need a large blender and families who want to make medium-sized batches of sauces. Breville clearly put a lot of thought into other design elements as well.

In fact, of all the food processors, blenders, and immersion blenders we’ve tested for various guides, we found making mayo easiest in a mini food processor like the Food Chopper. That’s because its lid has a small indent to hold oil and a small hole that allows the oil to pour directly onto the blades so you have a consistent, measured cuisinart toa60 stream. With this method, the mayonnaise comes together without your having to control the flow of oil. Most mini choppers don’t have hefty bases like full-size processors do, and the Food Chopper is no exception. However, at just under 2 pounds, it has a slightly heavier base than other mini models, which helps keep it stable.

These compact and convenient choppers make it easy to chop, blend, and mix ingredients with ease. The cordless design allows the user to take the chopper anywhere, making it perfect for camping trips, picnics, and more. This mini processor by culinary appliance leader KitchenAid is our best overall choice for its high functionality and versatility. Buy it alone, or bundle it with an immersion blender or hand mixer in a matching color. At 3.5 cups, it takes up minimal counter space; even snug kitchens should be able to fit this on the counter without issue.

The performance of the Cuisinart rebounded in our garlic mincing challenge, doing the best job of preserving the appearance of the garlic while mincing it extremely finely. We also like that you can remove the work bowl with the lid attached. The Cuisinart FP-12DCN Elite Collection Food Processor also has this handy feature, but most models (including the Cuisinart Custom 14) require that you loosen the lid before removing the bowl.
