Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart DFP-7BC 7-Cup Food Processor
Customer Review: Great -- for small families and small kitchens
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm cooking for two, in a New York kitchen. I still recall my Grandmother's house in Iowa, where the kitchen was somewhat larger than my current living room, but that was a long time ago, and now my counter space is roughly the size of my cutting board. For me, the 7 cup food processor is pretty much optimal in terms of both footprint and capacity. Also, I routinely use it for slicing. chopping and shredding. A food processor is the right device for these tasks. While it may be used for kneading bread dough, it's not a replacement for a stand mixer, and a blender is the right tool for pureeing. For these uses, the food processor is a compromise.
The Cuisinart DFP is pretty much the same as the original food processor introduced in the 1970s. It has one speed, and a single three position switch: on, off and pulse. It comes with a blade for chopping, a device for making bread, and blades for slicing and shredding. There is a dual feeling tube. The outer tube is quite wide, and has a safety feature that requires it to be locked in place before the machine will work. A narrower tube, which is not locked, and is intended for narrower items such as carrots, or for adding liquids or continuous feed items such as garlic.
Used for chopping and slicing, the machine is excellent. It can whiz through a head of cabbage or a fennel bulb for slaws, and breezes through potatoes. I still find it surprising how quickly it can race through a job that would take up to half an hour with a knife and about 20 minutes with a mandolin. The safety interlock is a trivial annoyance, and cleaning is easy. The size is just about right for two people, although for occasional jobs, such as slicing potatoes for Portuguese codfish and potatoes (lots of potatoes) it may be necessary to empty the food bowl and then fill it again.
For those who have the counter space, and the budget, Kitchen Aide makes an excellent 11 cup machine that comes with a mini bowl for smaller jobs, but when space is a real factor and small jobs are the norm, this Cuisinart may be the optimal choice.
Description of Cuisinart DFP-7BC 7-Cup Food Processor
The name Cuisinart is synonymous with food processors and this 7-cup unit is the perfect size for daily food prep for an average family of four. This versatile appliance comes with two blades and two discs that perform a variety of kitchen tasks in a short time. The main stainless-steel blade chops or purées raw or cooked fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, and nuts. A switch on the motor base flips up for mincing or puréeing and flips down for the pulse option, which offers better control when chopping food into larger chunks. The included plastic blade kneads up to two pounds of perfectly textured bread, pastry, or pizza dough in less than two minutes. Other attachments include a slicer disc for slicing or julienning luncheon meats, cheeses, and various vegetables, and a shredding disc for vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, or iceberg lettuce. Foods to be sliced or shredded are inserted through an extra-large plastic feed tube above the processor's bowl and helped through with a pusher.For convenience, the bowl, feed tube, and pusher are all dishwasher-safe, reducing cleanup as well as prep time. The sleek base gives this processor a commercial-kitchen look and its weight and rubber feet make it immovable during use.
