Kitchen "Candy" ~ Or, Look What I Just Got!

LOL!

I got a new food processor. Cuisinart 14-cup. It was ATK's first choice. I'm not a big ATK fan overall, but do like their equipment testing/reviews. Retail $199.99 in-store, but the online price was $150.99, and the store price matched it.

casey - it's posts like this that drive me crazy, envy, jealousy, frustration - not sure exactly which, maybe all of them.

I paid around $400 for mine. Yes, it was on sale, got it thru Amazon, was the best price going at the time.

Please make me feel better by saying 4/5 years ago that was a good price. It's OK, lie if you have to.

I love my Oster® Total Prep 10-Cup Food Processor with Dough Blade

It's only $49.75 on Amazon.

$400?! Wow. It was the same unit?

I have an 11 cup Cuisinart that I bought 25 years ago for ~$140. Still holding strong to this day.

I would like to get a smaller one like 4c or 5.

I'm not surprised Cuisinart does well in testing. I think their products are consistently among the best. I have a Cuisinart 11-cup FP that's almost 20 years old and a 4-cup FP and they both perform like new. We have their coffee maker and toaster oven-also good performers.

Their manual can opener is not so great.

Another kudos for Cuisinart, this time for their cookware. A number of years ago I got a bunch of their saucepans, sauté pans and a skillet for a steal, when a company was going bankrupt, and I was switching a bunch of my things to induction capable. I've been very satisfied with all of them - great heat distribution, comfortable handles that stay cool, and no warping at all in any of them. And I remember the prices before the 50% off were the lowest, at the time, of any of the induction capable brands.

 

[dragnlaw]

Just got around to watching your video. That's not the exact same model I got after all but still my price to yours is disgusting. Again apologies, paid just over $300, not 4.

Cuisinart 14 cup

Not sure what the difference is but I had researched it and I think I was very influenced by ATK - I generally check out what they have to say on a product.

I agree. I have a couple of Cuisinart multi-ply SS pans and they are workhorses in my kitchen.

Casey I bought an Cuisisnart DLC 14
29 Years Ago I used it for 26 years,
before it croaked . It is prefect for making bread.
I went to BB and bought the same model the
next day. I also have a Cuisniart 11 that I bought at a yard sale
for $5.00 In use both of them.

Most of my cookware is Cuisinart.

Back in 2012, based on recommendations here, I got a Cuisinart Elite 14 Cup Food Processor with three bowls. I really like it. I am not fond of washing it though. It says that the bowls can go in the dishwasher on the top shelf, but the two bigger bowls don't fit on my dishwasher's top shelf.

Thats from the "Elite Collection." Just the word "Elite" adds a hundred bucks to the price.

In this case, it also adds at least one smaller bowl.

I have one Cuisinart try-ply pan -- a stir fry pan. Seems as good as my All Clad pans.

I too, have the Cusinart mini food processor. That's the only FP I had for many years. It is good... for what it CAN do. Not much power or spin speed. This 14-cup FP spins way faster, so it chops much better. The mini FP mashes some of what I am chopping. Especially onions.

I got a new toy for my playground - a Staub 2-in-1 cocotte and grill pan. Food52 dangled it in my face and I bit. [emoji38] I can't believe how quickly it got here. I ordered it late on the 25th, got my "your order is ready for shipping" email at 3:32 PM today, and then the box was dropped on my porch at 4:45 PM today. Amazing...

 

[Kayelle]

What a great combo CG! It sure looks pretty with your Fall tablecloth. Happy cooking..

 

[bbqcoder]

Your new toy looks good. I use to think the Staub was German. Didn't realize that it is French. I have just 1 Staub dutch oven that I bought last year. I think it's 3qt that I got on Amazon for $80. Haven't used it yet. It's still in the basement on a shelf hidden from my wife.

I Guess I'll Have To Make A Pie This Weekend!

A modest but of "kitchen candy" but it was cheap enough (less than $6 on Amazon) to give a try as a means to a better crust. Standard pie plate size in stainless steel.

Just so happens I have some apples from last week's apple picking venture...

 

[GotGarlic]

Oooohh, I missed this. Very purty, CG! Have you used it yet? If yes, what for?
