I want to buy a food processor. Which should I buy? Cuisinart Prep 7 cup or Cuisinart Prep 9 cup. Or what would you recommend?

I really like the 7-cup. Not too big not too small. Does exactly what I need and I do a lot of cooking.

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.

I love my 7 cup food processor. mine works good for a family of 3. If you cook for a family larger than mine on a regular basis maybe consider buying the larger machine. either way I don't think you will be disappointed.

My first Cuisinart was a classic 7 cup - I had it for several years and gave it to a daughter when I later upgraded to a 11 cup model. It was nice, but really too large. My latest/current Cuisinart is a 7-cup and the size is perfect for me. I have several disks and use it all the time. However, if you like to create breads or pizza crusts I would say go for the 9-cup model, but for general home kitchen usage the 7 cup processor works best for me.

I have the 7 and find it just right for my needs. It depends on what you're making and your storage space.

I had a Black & Decker 7-cup food processor before, so I really can't comment on the 13 cup Kitchen Aid one. I really like the Cuisinart 14-cup. I haven't tried dough yet, but I've made chicken salad, sorbet, and hamburger (from very lean tenderloin beef), and it was very good for that. Unfortunately, for slicing vegetables, it's no better than my old Black and Decker: stuff tends to slide sideways and get caught between the metal plate and the lid. You really have to have the feeder tube stuffed tightly, and large, harder things like potatoes and big carrots work better than cucumbers or softer things.

No it did not fit. I am very disapointed because I live in Brazil and I dont know how to return it. When I bought it I asked to Amazon to deliver it at a friend of mine place that lives in LA and was traveling to visit me in Rio de Janeiro. She brought me that , I did not save the receipt and I was very surprised when it did not fit because Cuisinart is a brand I use to trust.My food processor is Pro Classic 7 cups (It was suposed to fit in 7 or 9 cups food processor) I would be glad to know if is possible to fix it. Thanks.

I tried both. I actually bought the cuisinart first but found the quality not so good. I ordered the fager and my DH likes it much better. The cleanup is a lot easier (the lid is easier to clean and the gasket to reinstall) and it browns meat before cooking. Another great feature is being able to cook in it. If things seems like they are not cooking you can just use brown and it cooks as if it were a pot on the stove. Love the fager!!!

I'm sorry but I cannot answer that question at all. I am just the purchasing agent for my wife who manages our kitchen. She helped select the processor and we ordered a selection of discs for it. That is the sum of our knowledge on the subject. I wish I could help you but I just cannot. I would suggest calling Cuisinart. They have been very helpful with my questions originally.

I really depends on what you are cooking, or for how many, or do you freeze leftovers. I think the 6 quart isi the best for all three. I think this cuisinart size is best because of the options that it gives you. You can cook for one or a party.

back in the day we always purchased black & decker (under the cabinet) coffee makers. loved them! this was our first mr. coffee model for the countertop. we've been really pleased. we make 3-pots per day on average and clean the machine once a month. even so...we still only get roughly a year from our m.c. models. my mother gets less than a year using a braun coffee maker (3x the $$ of our m.c.) seems a waste of money? best of luck! cheers, ~ tom

I have the 11 cup processor so I can't directly answer your question. You might want to look on the cuisinart website. I remember some disks could be used on several machines but I don't remember which is which. Sorry.

You can go to the Cuisinart site to find out and then order it on Amazon. http://www.cuisinart.com/parts/food_processors.html

That's what I thought too, but I was wrong. The 12 cup is ONLY a slicer/shredder, there are no knife blades in the kit or available. If you really want a "food processor" and a smaller quantity slicer/shredder, get the smaller food processor.

I used the one that came with my Cuisinart food processor... if you don't have this... get the oxo good grips version, it has a cover.

Like the others said, cutting board would probably be best for food prep. Its just a stainless steel top.

Fager simply because I can slow cook in that too. I had the Cuisinart and sent it back for the fager. My DH likes the design and features of the Fager better also.

Since I've never used a Kitchen Aid food processor, I cannot compare the two. I can say that I give the Cuisinart parts a good rinse, then the dishwasher does a splendid job of getting them Cuisinart clean.

I have not used the food processor. I have used my Kitchen Aid stand mixer and this does a really good job. I just follow the instructions. I once over-proofed(let it rise too long on second proof and the bread was rather porous.) However it had a great taste, just a bit holey. King Arthur will answer your questions quickly. They are most helpful and very knowledgeable.

I have a Professional 1100 Ninja and am looking for a food processor attachment to it. After submitting this question I discovered that it is not an attachment but a separate prep. I'm sorry about that.

I just bought mine a couple months ago, and, as it sounds, you are a kitchen gadget lover, too. I had a Cuisinart that I used it to death in less than 2 years. I hoped by the Kitchen-Aid reputation (and you can't beat nearly half price) that it will take the use at least as well if not better. There's a bit more to this set, too. I'm thrilled with it so far, and I'll bet you would be, too! Happy Holidays!
