Why Is This The Perfect Mini Processor For You?

The Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus Processor handles a variety of food preparation tasks including chopping, grinding, puréeing, emulsifying and blending. The patented auto-reversing SmartPower blade provides a super-sharp edge for the delicate chopping of herbs and for blending and puréeing other soft foods. The blunt edge offers a powerful cutting surface to grind through spices and other hard foods. Pulse activation gives maximum control for precision processing, whether chopping or grinding. Spatula, product manual and recipe booklet included.

Using Your Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus Processor

The powerful high-speed 250-Watt motor works hard and fast to accomplish any small job with ease. Chop herbs, onions, garlic; grind spices, hard cheese, purée baby foods; blend mayonnaise and flavored butters, all with the same compact appliance. The Mini-Prep Plus Processor takes up minimum counter space and stores neatly on the countertop or in a cabinet.

Best Practices When Using Your Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus Processor

Size

Always cut large pieces of food into smaller pieces of even size – about 1/2-Inch. If you don’t start with pieces that are small and uniform, you will not get an even chop.

Quantity

You don’t want to overload the 3-Cup work bowl. Use the quantities given in the included recipe section of the product manual. As a rule of thumb, remember that after being processed, food should not reach more than 2/3 of the way up the central hub of the blade assembly.

Selecting the Right Operating Control

Use the Chop function for chopping, puréeing and mixing. It’s the best option, for example, when chopping soft, fragile food such as herbs, celery, onions, garlic and most cheeses. It is also the right choice for puréeing cooked vegetables, making mayonnaise and mixing salad dressing. Pulse action is best when you are using the chop function. Two or three pulses are often enough.
Use the Grind function for grinding spices, and for chopping hard food such as peppercorns, seeds, chocolate and nuts. Continuous-hold action is best when you are using the grind function.

Adding Liquid

You can add liquids such as water, oil or flavoring while the machine is running. For example, you might want to add oil when making mayonnaise or salad dressing, or you could add vanilla or alcohol when making frozen yogurt. Pour the liquid through one of the two openings in the cover.

Removing Food From the Sides of the Bowl

Occasionally food will stick to the sides of the bowl as you process. Stop the machine to clear food away. After the blade has stopped moving, remove the cover, and use the spatula to scrape the food from the sides of the bowl back into the center.

Cleaning and Storage

Read to clean up? No problem! To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover, and blade immediately after each use, so that food won’t dry on them. Wash blade assembly, work bowl, cover, and spatula in warm soapy water. If you have a dishwasher, you can wash the work bowl, cover, blade assembly, and spatula on the top rack.
The Mini-Prep Plus Processor stores neatly on the countertop in a minimum of space. The hidden cord storage underneath the motor base will help to keep excess cord off the countertop. Store the unit assembled to prevent loss of parts. Easily dice tomatoes in seconds!

    Small but still does the job!
    I already own an 11 cup Cuisinart (which I love) but sometimes I don’t want to pull it out when I am just chopping vegetables. This little food processor is simple to use and is small and light. It saves time and is easy to clean (I use the top rack of the dishwasher.). And now that I am an empty nester and only cooking for two most of the time, it is the perfect size.

    Food processor
    I really love this little compact food processor it may be small but it is amazingly strong and adorable and the speed for chop and great is wonderful and I have a galley kitchen so when I need it I just pull it out and there’s always room for it because of the the size all you do is put the top on and lock it in and it’s the button and it’s so easy and so nice to you

    Awesome Little Chopper
    This is an awesome chopper. It gets the chop job done without taking too much space like conventional ones. It was on sale on a very good price. It’s easy to assemble storage capacity well it’s small but it can chop smaller batches. It’s pretty speedy for what I use it for better that the blender that I own.

    It’s loud
    I found it for 19.99 (on sale) and bought it. It does fine but it is very loud my old no name isn’t that loud. I don’t think it worth more then 19.99.

    Very handy
    I ordered this planning on taking it to work to make cake crumbs but after testing it at home I feel in love! This this is powerful and not a pain to pull out like my bigger for chopper but big enough to chop a whole onion at once

    Easy to use, assemble and clean. Ideal for1 or 2 people
    I have owned one of these processors for nearly 27 years, and I was so impressed how it’s virtually unchanged since!! Parts are all identical, interchangeable and the exact same color!! I only bought this one as my old blade is wearing out and falling apart.It’s very safe, easy to clean, use and assemble and for 1 or 2 people, an ideal processor. If I remember correctly, I bought my first one 27 years ago for under $10. This one was a little over 1-1/2 times that, so that’s inflation for you!

    Small, powerful and dishwasher safe!
    Love this thing! I bought one from the grocery store just to make salad dressing but I put it in the dishwasher and it melted. Obviously, dishwasher safe the became an important feature. I was not looking for a chopper that could man handle onions but it does that too! It’s tiny and sharp and effective and I love it!

    A Medical Necessit for ThosNeed a Soft Diet
    This morning, I was perusing the items I’ve purchased in the past month in an attempt to see what I could review that might help other customers. Wooden spoons: Check. Heart-shaped straws: Check. Cuisinart DLC-2ABC Mini Prep Plus Food Processor: OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH! That item brought me up short; just seeing it listed nearly caused me to break down in tears, for the Lord has used it to literally revolutionize my life.I love to cook. I love to experiment, combine foods, use bay leaves where they’ve never been used before, and generally turn the sense of taste into an adventure. However, things have lately been complicated by the fact that I have developed autonomic dysfunction, which has kept me on bed rest, and gastroparesis, which has altered what I can eat and especially the consistency at which I can eat it. Hummus, mashed potatoes, and soft, bite-sized pastas are fine, as are sauces. Bread, coarse vegetables, and any meal that incorporates too many elements are problematic. I could eat hummus, and I could eat rice, and I could even enjoy fetta, but a Mediterranean meal that incorporated all of these simultaneously would be too much for my insides at the moment. I love vegetables, but here again, they have made the consistency of my meals much too busy for one fragile gut and appetite. But I love adding twenty flavours to one casserole!–now what? For the longest time, we had a blender, but it was just that–a tall container for mixing and pouring smoothies and shakes. If you really only want to grind or chop half a cup of food, it’s more trouble than it’s worth to scrape your puree out of such a tall container. However, most of the food processors we looked at were either too costly or too technologically advanced for our old-school family, or both. UNTIL…My sister found this food processor. I would say it was wonderful for the price, but in reality, I’d be willing to spend up to $150 on something that has made my life this much easier. Its capacity is perfect–we never need to process more than three cups at a time–and this processor works better than any other electric kitchen appliance we’ve ever owned. Another reviewer noted rightly that it works quickly, so if you don’t want a fine puree, you do want to watch it–that button means it when it says “GRIND!” However, the one other button, the control for chopping, is very affective in doing just that–coarse vegetables can be ours, if we so desire. Never again will I have to laboriously mince or chop onions by hand when I’m well–I’ll let this processor do my teary, dirty work! So, not everything comes out purred unless you want it to. I recently asked a family member to process some dry ingredients to make a breadcrumb-type crust, with instructions that “it shouldn’t be like powder–more like the consistency of dried oats.” My loved-one and the food processor did a FINE job–pun intended! My family really appreciates how easy it is to scoop or pour the processed food, how easy the cup is to wash, and the basic design. We aren’t a family who really enjoys touchscreens, digital readouts, and other technological advances that turn our appliances into computers–we didn’t need any extras beyond grinding and chopping and, happily, this processor doesn’t feature anything beyond that. As for me, I can’t say enough about how much more beautiful eating has become once again. For close to a month, I put food into my body because I didn’t want to take more drastic measures, but that was all it was–ingesting nutrients, no more. Now that I can grind veggies, herbs, certain meats, nuts, and virtually anything else into an appropriate consistency, food is the lively, joyful, enheartening experience it has always been. Nowadays, I typically keep a soft starch base, puree the rest, and-voila!–TASTY, non-bland, nutritious food. Broccoli, olives, mushrooms, whole garlic, and other edibles may not be at their premium this way, but at least I can eat them, whereas I was formerly stuck with plain hummus and mild pastas. What a difference! If you or a loved-one have a medical condition that makes a softer but not necessarily bland diet necessary, and if you’re looking for a basic, easy product, this one may make you, too, cry when you pass it as you go about your day–right there, on the counter, waiting for you, just waiting to grind more delicion for someone in nutritional need…

    This is not suitable in our family . To operate this a additional requirement is required which I don’t want to buy.
