Title: A Medical Necessit for ThosNeed a Soft Diet
Review: This morning, I was perusing the items I’ve purchased in the past month in an attempt to see what I could review that might help other customers. Wooden spoons: Check. Heart-shaped straws: Check. Cuisinart DLC-2ABC Mini Prep Plus Food Processor: OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH! That item brought me up short; just seeing it listed nearly caused me to break down in tears, for the Lord has used it to literally revolutionize my life.I love to cook. I love to experiment, combine foods, use bay leaves where they’ve never been used before, and generally turn the sense of taste into an adventure. However, things have lately been complicated by the fact that I have developed autonomic dysfunction, which has kept me on bed rest, and gastroparesis, which has altered what I can eat and especially the consistency at which I can eat it. Hummus, mashed potatoes, and soft, bite-sized pastas are fine, as are sauces. Bread, coarse vegetables, and any meal that incorporates too many elements are problematic. I could eat hummus, and I could eat rice, and I could even enjoy fetta, but a Mediterranean meal that incorporated all of these simultaneously would be too much for my insides at the moment. I love vegetables, but here again, they have made the consistency of my meals much too busy for one fragile gut and appetite. But I love adding twenty flavours to one casserole!–now what? For the longest time, we had a blender, but it was just that–a tall container for mixing and pouring smoothies and shakes. If you really only want to grind or chop half a cup of food, it’s more trouble than it’s worth to scrape your puree out of such a tall container. However, most of the food processors we looked at were either too costly or too technologically advanced for our old-school family, or both. UNTIL…My sister found this food processor. I would say it was wonderful for the price, but in reality, I’d be willing to spend up to $150 on something that has made my life this much easier. Its capacity is perfect–we never need to process more than three cups at a time–and this processor works better than any other electric kitchen appliance we’ve ever owned. Another reviewer noted rightly that it works quickly, so if you don’t want a fine puree, you do want to watch it–that button means it when it says “GRIND!” However, the one other button, the control for chopping, is very affective in doing just that–coarse vegetables can be ours, if we so desire. Never again will I have to laboriously mince or chop onions by hand when I’m well–I’ll let this processor do my teary, dirty work! So, not everything comes out purred unless you want it to. I recently asked a family member to process some dry ingredients to make a breadcrumb-type crust, with instructions that “it shouldn’t be like powder–more like the consistency of dried oats.” My loved-one and the food processor did a FINE job–pun intended! My family really appreciates how easy it is to scoop or pour the processed food, how easy the cup is to wash, and the basic design. We aren’t a family who really enjoys touchscreens, digital readouts, and other technological advances that turn our appliances into computers–we didn’t need any extras beyond grinding and chopping and, happily, this processor doesn’t feature anything beyond that. As for me, I can’t say enough about how much more beautiful eating has become once again. For close to a month, I put food into my body because I didn’t want to take more drastic measures, but that was all it was–ingesting nutrients, no more. Now that I can grind veggies, herbs, certain meats, nuts, and virtually anything else into an appropriate consistency, food is the lively, joyful, enheartening experience it has always been. Nowadays, I typically keep a soft starch base, puree the rest, and-voila!–TASTY, non-bland, nutritious food. Broccoli, olives, mushrooms, whole garlic, and other edibles may not be at their premium this way, but at least I can eat them, whereas I was formerly stuck with plain hummus and mild pastas. What a difference! If you or a loved-one have a medical condition that makes a softer but not necessarily bland diet necessary, and if you’re looking for a basic, easy product, this one may make you, too, cry when you pass it as you go about your day–right there, on the counter, waiting for you, just waiting to grind more delicion for someone in nutritional need…

Title: Small, but mighty
Review: Iâve had this for a couple of months. It does a great job: easy to use, easy to clean. Itâs only for small loads. Itâs a bit noisy, but thatâs so such a small appliance can be strong enough to chop or purée whatever it is you need. I like it for chopping nuts for baked goods, or blending garlic and ginger together for Indian food. Itâs a little sister to my standard-sized (14 cup?) Cuisinart which is too large for that kind of thing. They last forever-going on 20 years for the big one. Worth the extra money for the Cuisinart quality.

Title: Effective for mini prep
Review: I have had several of these over the past 30 years. The processor works well for a variety of uses, chopping seasoning, mixing energy ball ingredients, coulis etc. However, eventually the plastic on the blades cracks requiring either purchasing new blades or a new unit.

Title: Good size when prepping small meal… preps my hard cheeses perfectly!
Review: I’ve been living Keto since April ’23. Living alone, with a cervical SCI, time spent in the kitchen, preparing a meal is painfully laborious. Prior to my SCI, I use to love the chemistry of cooking. Compound in my aging, as fingers become arthritic, chopping was a time-consuming chore. Keto is difficult but it does not have to be… if have the proper tools in the kitchen.This processor was in my price range. As for utility, I did not need a full-blown blender where I would use one or two modes yet pay for several. I needed to chop veggies, cheeses, herbs and to grind mill, seeds, meats. That is this processor.One important omission in the manual: chop, the 2-blade spins clockwise; grind, the 2-blade spins counter-clockwise. I could not understand the mechanics at first as both modes of chop and grind have the same speed. Was this machine faulty? Then I noticed the 2-blade reversing when alternating between chop and grind. Also that one blade is much higher with a pitched angle over the other blade that is lower with an opposite angle. Very clever.I have a problem, same as another commented, about pulverizing pieces into a puree. The processor can not adequately puree food as it “kicks” up the food to the sides of the container where it sticks and accumulates. Not a big deal, not worth dropping a star in the rating. This is a good utility machine for the price.I like the counter-top footprint of the processor as my kitchen is small. The cord wraps around in a well, beneath the processor, to keep it out of the way when not in use if electrical outlet is already full… which mine is. Also, the processor components are easy to wash, putting the lid and container on the upper rack of dishwasher and the 2-blade into the utility rack.Oh, and yes… it does chop and grind very nicely, especially my hard cheeses. Wallace (of Wallace and Gromit) would have loved it! RIP Peter Sallis, dear friend.

Title: Fantastic
Review: Like everyone else I have a huge food processor. I decided to try this little 3 cup and I have absolutely no regrets. Itâs so easy to clean so I use it to just do two or three of garlic cloves ; great for all the fresh herbs. Havenât used my Cheese grater in ages. Cheese does not resemble the gratef but it works fine for me. Book is very handy with suggestions of how to use the product. Product is very well-made. Thereâs even a little knife enclosed to scrape out the interior With whatever product you process

Review: Very handy tool for someone with hand issues. It is a small bowl so you can only chop one onion at a time. The buttons are big. Easy to press. If you have dexterity issues .. you need to know that the top has to be turned to lock in place.
