Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart DLC-2ABC Mini Prep Plus Food Processor, Brushed Chrome
Customer Review: Great for baby food, purees
Summary: 4 Stars
I was mainly looking for a way to make baby food and this is great! I just take whatever we are eating and throw it in and it makes a very smooth puree. I was concerned but the 2 settings are chop and grind so I didnt know if it would do a smooth enough puree but it is as smooth as silk. I have not yet tried to chop an onion or anything else yet but for those looking for baby food this is great and the perfect size. Not to big and not to small. Customer Review: Chopping ease
Summary: 4 Stars
I borrowed this Mini Prep from my son to decide on whether it was worth the expense to purchase. I found that I liked it very much and it is very easy to use and extremely time saving in the chopping department. If you are like me and not very good at chopping veggies for recipes, you will like this. Just remember not to get carried away when holding down the chop button or it will turn out more finely chopped than desired. Customer Review: Compact and Perfect for Two
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love this mini Cuisinart and have owned one for approximately four years now. It's not fancy and should not replace a higher power puree machine --- however, it is perfect for making a sauce or salad dressing. It has saved me in many a pinch when I needed to get dinner done on time. It is perfect for cooking for two people.
Keep in mind: It does wiggle around a bit, so you have to hold it down.
Customer Review: Perfect tool for a single person in a small kitchen
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought my Cuisinart Mini Prep Plus a few weeks before Thanksgiving, after living without any kind of food processor for a few years. My old cheapo (neither Cuisinart nor KitchenAid) food processor was long gone, after I broke some plastic doohickey on it.
The Mini Prep Plus worked fine for a few small jobs. Then I volunteered to make cranberry relish for our large extended family Thanksgiving dinner. And immediately eyed the full-size food processors, but decided against buying one of them.
By taking it easy and not trying to overload or overwhelm the Mini Prep Plus, I successfully used it to make two large batches of different cranberry relish recipes. From fruit to nuts, it performed like a little champ. I chopped small quantities of ingredients, then combined them in a big bowl. And I used a lot of pulsing rather than continuous grinding or chopping. Which I think is the way this machine was intended to be used, anyway.
If you want - or need - to be able to just dump lots of stuff into a food processor and chop/grind/blend it all at once, then this little guy isn't what you're looking for. But for small jobs, or dishes in which you can chop/grind things in smaller batches and combine them in another container, this is a good choice.
The Mini Prep Plus is simple to assemble, disassemble, and clean. The blade is easy to slip into place and out again, and you can grab the blade assembly without sticking your fingers down into the food. The mini prep is designed to require the lid to be attached before the food container is slotted into place for operations, a safety measure I appreciate.
This is one of my favorite gadgets. Simple, small, and efficient.
Customer Review: Cuisinart Mini Prep is like another set of hands!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my second Mini-Prep. I used the first so often that the second comes in handy all the time. From fresh salsas to chopped herbs it's a lifesaver and so much easier than cleaning up the large Cuisinart when only doing a small task.
