Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart DLC-2BK Mini Prep Plus Food Processor, Black
Customer Review: Makes great purees and smoothies
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good little machine, but it does not "chop" very well. Most everything ends up too small and it even separates the juices from things like onions! The best bet is to TAP (don't even hold it for a second) the chop button repeatedly. And even then it doesn't chop very evenly.
But, this machine does make great purees, for say a creamy soup. And I've found it makes smoothies better than my blender, but it will not chop ice, so it doesn't do frozen drinks real well.
Overall, I like it.
Customer Review: Perfect for Baby food
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this processor for the sole purpose of making homemade baby food and I am not disappointed. This processor is wonderful. It only has 2 settings, chop and grind. I use grind generally, but hit the chop button now and then to stir what I'm grinding and get any thicker pieces that may have just been swirled around (I haven't seen this happen, but just in case!). I also have a mini-chopper for onions, garlic, etc and I'm thinking about tossing it and just using this one. And clean-up is a breeze. Rinse or not and pop it in the dishwasher! This is perfect if you want to make baby food or puree anything to a super-smooth consistancy.Customer Review: Use it all time, dropped it twice
Summary: 3 Stars
I love this mini processor for pesto and mincing onions & garlic. I've had it for more than a year and over that time, I've dropped the plastic bowl/cup twice. The plastic bit on the handle popped off and there's a crack in the side now. Maybe I'm just clumsy, maybe the plastic isn't all that strong, I don't know. The blade is still sharp, the motor is still strong, it's the plastic bowl that broke after a couple drops.
We know that accidents happen in the kitchen. Can I blame the thing for breaking when I was the one who dropped it? ... Yes. When I replace this mini processor (yes, I'm still using it even though it's fubar), I won't be buying Cuisinart again.
