Maliyaw Custom 14-Cup Food Processor, Black

It’s simple to use and great machine Had one years ago and bowl deteriorated and I never thought at time to get a bowl

I’ve owned the Cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor for more than 33 years, and it’s still performing as well today as when I first brought it home. That’s one of the highest compliments I can give any kitchen appliance. The first time I used it, I actually struggled getting the lid to lock — I pressed ‘on’ and nothing happened. I’m not usually a read-the-manual type 😂, but I finally checked the directions: you align the lid, push down, turn it left to lock, then turn it back right before pressing on. I did all that… and it still didn’t work. Turns out the real issue was that I hadn’t plugged it into the wall 😂. Once I plugged it into the wall, I’ve never had an issue since If you’re looking for one kitchen appliance that will truly earn its place on your countertop, this is it. As a chef, it’s not just another gadget, it’s an essential tool in my home kitchen. Like my KitchenAid mixer, it has become a permanent fixture because I reach for it almost every time I cook. Over the years, this food processor has dramatically reduced my prep time while delivering consistent, professional-quality results. I regularly use it to slice vegetables, shred cheese, chop onions, knead pizza and bread dough, make flaky pie crusts, prepare fresh pasta dough, purée soups and sauces, blend hummus, pesto, salsa, homemade mayonnaise, emulsify salad dressings, grind toasted nuts, make fresh breadcrumbs, and crush graham crackers or cookies for dessert crusts. It has handled thousands of batches over the years with dependable performance. One of my favorite chef tips is making vibrant basil oil. Many people end up with brown basil oil because heat and oxidation quickly dull its beautiful green color. Simply chill the bowl and blade before processing, then pulse fresh basil with olive oil. For an even brighter result, quickly blanch the basil first. Little techniques like this are where a quality food processor really shines. Another reason I love this machine is its versatility. I often finely chop mushrooms or zucchini and blend them into sauces, soups, meatballs, or meatloaf to add flavor and extra vegetables without changing the texture. If I run out of powdered sugar while baking, I simply process granulated sugar into a fine powder in seconds. During the holidays, it’s indispensable for grinding toasted nuts, preparing fillings, shredding vegetables, and handling larger batches with ease. The powerful 720-watt motor combined with the generous 14-cup capacity makes meal prep faster, easier, and more enjoyable. Whether I’m making flaky pie dough, silky hummus, creamy dressings, or fresh pesto, I know exactly what kind of results I’ll get every time. It consistently produces even textures while saving an incredible amount of time in the kitchen. As a chef, I rely on quality equipment because consistency matters. After more than 33 years of regular use, this is one of the rare home kitchen appliances that continues to deliver professional-level results every time I use it. After more than three decades with mine, I recently purchased this same model as a gift because I know firsthand how dependable it is. That’s probably the strongest recommendation I can give. If mine ever stopped working tomorrow after 33 years of faithful service, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another Cuisinart. Five stars without hesitation.

Prompt delivery. After my third inexpensive food processor I decided to upgrade to this Cuisinart food processor. I couldn't be happier! Very powerful motor. Even cuts. Makes meal prep a breeze. And very quiet. I highly recommend it.

This is great for making pizza dough to pureeing soups - mine quit after 35 years - this is the same!

Excellent for making large volumes of soup. Potato leek, butternut squash...
