Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart DLC-2BK Mini Prep Plus Food Processor, BlackCustomer Review: Excellent appliance for small quantities Summary: 5 Stars
Here are some of the things that I have used this for: dressings for salads; fresh breadcrumbs; dry breadcrumbs; chopping nuts; chopping fresh or dried herbs; grinding spices; pureeing fruit; chopping olives for tapanade; chopping garlic; making gravy and sauces -- the list goes on.
This chopper has replaced my mortar and pestle, and sometimes replaces my knife if I'm feeling lazy. Holds about a cup or so of dry or wet ingredients. Has holes in lid to add oil to vinaigrette.
I bought this in 2001 and it is surviving frequent use. Bowl and knife are dishwasher proof. Body wipes clean easily. Has a useful cord storage in the bottom of the body.
I'm not too sure the difference between "grind" and "chop" but I have used both functions with success. One is clockwise the other is counterclockwise, so this is useful for clearing jammed pieces of food or whatever. Alternating chop and grind can help make uniform food.
Description of Cuisinart DLC-2BK Mini Prep Plus Food Processor, BlackOffering high and low speeds , the Cuisinart DLC-2BK Mini-Prep has dishwasher safe parts, including the Smart Blade - sharp blade moves one way to slice and dice, reverses for blunt blade that crushes and grinds. The 21 ounce transparent bowl is also dishwasher safe and the set includes recipes and a spatula for scraping every last morsel from the bowl. Cuisinart offers an 18-month limited warranty on the Mini-Prep. This little 220-watt workhorse conveniently steps up when a big food processor is unnecessary. Making pesto or a salad dressing? The 21-ounce bowl is just the right size, and two receptacles in the lid have pinholes for one or two oils to stream into the bowl while the processor is working, providing excellent emulsification. Chopping onions, herbs, or bread crumbs? Press the "chop" button and Cuisinart's patented reversible blade employs its sharp edge to do the job right. Grinding cheese or nuts? Press the "grind" function and the blade's blunt edge takes on the task. Compact at just 8-1/2 inches high, with a lightweight plastic body, the Mini Prep Plus can be tucked away in a cupboard. The plastic bowl and lid are dishwasher-safe, but the stainless-steel blade should be hand washed to protect its edge. --Fred Brack
