I looked up the "Cuisinart FP-12DC Elite Collection 12-Cup Food Processor". Some reviews talk about 14 cups, some 2 or 3 bowls, etc. Why is this?

I guess the other three pretty much answered the question. It's a great machine.

different cup models have MULTIPLE bowls that you use, when you get the 14 Cup Model, there are two smaller cups that fit directly in the larger 14 cup bowl for storage, this gives you the option of which size bowl you want to use to do your kitchen work. Gives you a great deal of flexibility that other models do not give you, we use the larger bowl a majority of the time, however for smaller operations we have used the smaller bowls. Hope this helps, we love the different size bowls and the options is provides you.

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.

I have the 14 cup which really has a little smaller capacity than 14 cups and love it. The 2 smaller bowls nest inside the larger one depending on which bowl you want to use. It sounds funky but it works good and isn't a messy cleanup problem.

This item has three bowls (one inside another inside another) It is a great unit and easy to use.

As you can see by my review I also stated this about the 12cups in title but 8 in the description. I emailed the sellers two weeks before I posted that review. But yet Im getting down voted.guess some people think you should accept what you get.

It means one and 1/2 cup though a tight 1 and 1/2 cup. I usually get about 3/4 cup and don't fill all the way. It's a handy food chopper though. Great for humus and salsa and chopping veggies.

I have the 4 cup and the 12 cup---the 12 cup will not perk unless it is a full pot--hence why I bought the 4 cup--which is really only two reg size cups when full.

I believe you can make it just fine, I have made up to 4 cups of any given recipe in this food processor and it works out fine. I really like this one, it takes so little space on the counter top that I just leave it out all the time. I've blended soups in it and it does a beautiful job. So I don't think 2 cups of mayo is to much.

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.

The blender has a 5 cup capacity (holds 7 cups) and the food processor has a 4 cup capacity (holds less than 6 cups). So that is why you have to make smaller bread recipes. I had never looked at the cup marks before. It is fine for preparing food for freezer and canning during gardening season. I am well pleased at 6 months ownership.

This is just the food processor attachment. I already had the blender with base so wanted something where it could share the base and save space. I'm not home right now but I think it held about 5 cups volume.

I have a 9 cup brought in 2010 and it work perfectly even though the label said 7 and 11cups they should change the description to read 7 through 11 cups but what do you expect from educated morons and idiots without street smarts.You are the second or third person inquiring about this item.If you buy it I hope you use the heck out of it and I used my blade so often that amazon gave me a replacement blade with-in a years time. So use it well and often.

I think it's a bit overkill as a food processor. Without liquid, it doesn't chop very effectively, and with liquid, it's so powerful that it quickly blitzes it into oblivion. I suppose I never really tried, because I have a separate Cuisinart food processor.

The 12JNDISC-1 is a genuine Cuisinart blade. I bought it for my sister's 12 Cup food processor ... works great.

you should know that it makes a lot of noise and the water can only be measured in 2-cup intervals so you have to judge if you need an odd number of cups. I only bought this machine because it was shorter than I didn't have the height for a higher machine. Cuisinart is MUCH better

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 11 cup version. You need to check the accessory list for your processor model on Cuisinart's website to determine whether the DLC-842TX 2 mm Thin Slicing Disc is on the list.

This processor is small, only 3 1/2cups, which is perfect for most jobs, as I usually just cook for two. I don't really know exactly what you are asking.

We purchased the 6 cup model. It actually produces approximately 1 2/3 cups of coffee. Why they call it 6 cup I have no idea.

In the 12 piece set two-1 1/4 cups----one-2 cups ----one-3 cups----one-5 cups---one-7 cups Hope this is helpful.
