my moms new food processor(Cuisinart DLC-10S Pro Classic): in review


yesterday, as i was feverishly cooking soup in the kitchen, i decided i wanted a creamy soup rather than chunky. i debated between using the blender and the old food processor to get the job done, but upon learning that there was in fact a brand "spanking" new one waiting restlessly inside the cupboard i curiously reached for it. purchased at macys recent "black friday" sale, it was shiny, white, and childproof (you have to put the part that sticks into the little hole in top in place even if you don't want to to make it work), and the base of this machine weighed in at an annoyingly estimated twelve pounds. it received the immensely hot soup quite well in its 7 cup capacity plastic body. the blade, however, did not fall correctly into place and caused my soup the shame of some leakage, and required me to put my delicate fingers into the still very hot soup to fix it. pushing the pulse button, i blended vigourously for less than a minute before satisfied with the outcome. wonderfully creamy, steamy, and not a chunk left un-chunked. not to mention how delectable my portabello/sweet potato soup turned out. if you don't mind some heavy lifting and want to deal with the problem of having to wash a bunch of different tiny components after use, this food processor is for you. two out of five happy houswives.
