Does the mini bowl use the same lid as the 7 cup. If not, does the lid have a chute for feeding the item to be chopped.

The mini bowl does use the same lid. Where the main blade is inserted, instead an extension is inserted then the mini bowl, then a mini blade. The mini bowl actually sits inside the large bowl. So the drawback is that you have to clean both bowls because of seepage into the main bowl from the mini bowl. But besides that it does work great. I hope this answers your question.

This dish did not come with a lid. I wish it had. I hope this helps you in your decision. Thanks for asking!

I ordered one of these and its a little over 7 inches tall and mine did come with a lid. It holds a pretty good amount of food. I have made pasta with meat sauce and rice and meat dishes several times in mine and it holds all that very well.

If it's just a size difference, it's preference really. For me the 7 cup is perfect because it's just me and my wife. If you prepare bigger portions, go for the 9.

No, it is not bowl shaped at the bottom, it is just flat with no corners as it is round.This is one of my favorite pans, just the right size for many foods and the lid has two sizes of drain holes.It is a quality piece of cook ware.

Your question is about the 12-cup version but you posted it under the listing for the 14-cup model. The 12-cup and 14-cup, models differ not only in capacity but also in important features. The previous answers to your question apply to the 14-cup model, which does have three bowls. However, the 12-cup model has only two bowls. Other differences are that the 12-cup model lacks a dough setting (essentially a slower speed) and a retractable cord, although it does have space to manually wrap the cord around the bottom. P.S. Monique, I know this is too late to help you, but I'm hoping some of the other confused shoppers will find it helpful.

Questionable, because the bowl may be too small. The spiral hook came with the 7qt I bought, and the 6qt hook is smaller.

no, just the bowl.. lid may be ordered separately or i think they can be ordered as a unit.

The lid does not stay intact without the belt. When you want to use the bottom container alone, you could do that. The top one goes into the bottom one if you remove the middle cover which holds spoon, knife and fork. I never had to do it that way so far. I would do if I have less space or less food to carry.

No - It does Not have a lid. It is intended for frying: pancakes, toasted cheese sandwiches, etc. It is great for what it is intended for.

The bowl is the same but the lid is different. I love the bowls though, nothing stains them and they freeze things well also. I have two of them.

Not really because it's shallower and rounded at the bottom. They should have made 2 cup holders with a snack cup insert. I'm guessing they wanted a snack bowl even if the cup was gone. Still like it though. You'll need 2 for 2 kids

The newer lid did not fit the original bowl configuration. I ordered the newer bowl then to fit the newer lid, hoping that the bowl would then fit the machine. It did. I tested the blade with the new lid and bowl. Viola! It worked. Good luck!

About a month ago, I bought the new 7-function Instant Pot and an extra inner pot--both have a concave bottom. It is my one complaint about the appliance. When you use the sauté function, the oils pools around the sides, rather than being evenly distributed across the bottom. My SIL has an older model, and as I recall, it has a flat bottom.

Someone else answered me on a similar question (as I have a DLC-7E with an original basket that is cracked but is 8 cups). She explained that it fits but is taller than the original bowl and if you use this with the 7E you can no longer use the discs -- only the S-blade and such).

Hi Melissa - as for me, I love this little dish. Right now I have the mini peanut butter cups in it. The dish part is approx. 3 1/4" tall and 4 1/2" wide . This does not include the lid - though you can stack a few extra pieces up into the lid area as it is hollowed out on the inside. The dish is also nice a heavy - not a delicate dish that can be easily chipped when putting the lid back on. Hope this is helpful. Have a great day! Cathy

The lid is made of plastic that in my experience tolerates repeated microwaving very well. I have high regards for this bowl combination.
