Cuisinart Small Food Processor Has Patented Stainless Steel Blade
November 22nd, 2015
The Cuisinart name has long been synonymous with fine kitchen equipment. Continuing in the tradition of quality tools for the home chef, the Cuisinart DLC-2 Mini Prep Plus Food Processor is a compact, yet powerful small food processor. This 250-watt processor with a 3-cup capacity is able to grind, chop, mince and more with the touch of a button. Perfect for handling smaller batches of ingredients, this mini food processor is an ideal size for whipping up dressings and sauces. The Cuisinart DLC-2 Mini Prep Plus Food Processor compares closely to the Kitchenaid 3-Cup Chef’s Chopper in Chrome.
At an identical price point, cup capacity, body design and function capability, these two models are virtually interchangeable at first glance. When comparing the user ratings and reviews of both the Cuisinart Mini Prep and the Kitchenaid Chef’s Chopper, the Cuisinart seems to have a slight edge over the Kitchenaid. According to online reviews, the Cuisinart seems to do a better job when it comes to grinding food. The feature that sets the Cuisinart apart is the patented reversible blade, which allows the blunt edge of the blade to hit the food, shattering it into a fine grind. Overall, both the Cuisinart and the Kitchenaid seem to be fine small food processors, but for those interested in freshly grinding coffee, breaking down whole spices or other fine grinding work, the Cuisinart small food processor may be a cut above.

November 20th, 2015
For over a century and a half, making fresh ice cream has been a tradition that brings the whole family together.

Enjoy a stainless steel freezer can and dasher inside a wooden tub, as well as a hand crank that the kids will love turning. Although this home ice cream maker is a traditional version, it has today’s modern features that make it easy to use. The electric motor makes for quick and easy fun, while the parts are dishwasher safe. So how well received is this automatic ice cream maker?
The White Mountain Ice Cream Maker has received excellent feedback from consumers, as it’s fun and easy to use, while capturing the old-fashioned pastime of centuries ago. The ice cream maker produces 6 quarts of ice cream, and a recipe book is included. It makes a large amount of fresh ice cream in an effortless process and many product owners have purchased the maker to be used on holidays; a family tradition that everyone enjoys! There are many electric ice cream makers on the market, but few have the same old-world design as the White Mountain product. At a similar price, the Maxi-Matic Ice Cream Maker offers the same qualities, with a pine bucket construction, electric motor and 6 quarts of ice cream.
