Cuisinart 14 Cup Food Processor

A Cuisinart 14 Cup Food Processor is an ideal to any kitchen in which you need to efficiently prepare a lot of food without a great deal of hassle or effort. Cuisinart food processors are popular among cooks for their ability to perform a variety of tasks that used to require a dramatic amount of effort by hand. For example, the food processor can chop vegetables, grate cheese, grind up notes and even kneed dough. They are available in a wide variety of sizes and this is typically the largest size available. It will be ideal for larger families or cases where you need to mix up large batches. For smaller jobs, you can add a smaller bowl, or even find a smaller food processor. Because it is the largest size, the price is often greater than other food processors as well: the cost for a Cuisinart 14 cup food processor is usually between $200 and $300 depending on the options and accessories that you find.

Here are several of the different options you can find:

Cuisinart Elite Collection 14-Cup Food Processor, Die Cast: This is Cuisinart’s top of the line unit. It has as 1000 watt motor for additional cutting power compared to other units. In addition to the main 14 cup bowl, it also comes with smaller 11 and 4.5 cup bowls for small jobs. The bowls nest easily for compact storage. It comes with two different food processor blades and a carrying case to keep them clean and safe. It even has a DVD and instruction book with recipes to get you started! You can find it for about $300.

Cuisinart DFP-14BCN 14-Cup Food Processor: This is a lower end unit of the same capacity. You can find it being sold for less than $200. It has a powerful 720 watt motor which is less powerful than the high end units. It does not come with any smaller bowls so it may be difficult to use for smaller jobs. You can buy them separately later but keep in mind that this will be more expensive than buying them originally with the food processor. You can find it in brushed steel, white or other finishes. This is a great entry level choice for new cooks.
