In any case, pause, there is more: "The extensive size is extraordinary for batter work, yet it's not very enormous that it can't deal with a portion of your littler occupations. "Makes hard errands simple" and "Basic, Strong, Workhorse of a processor."

In composing my audit these are a portion of the positive things that are being said in regards to this specific Cuisinart demonstrate. A significant number of the surveys are from stalwart Cuisinart fans, some on their second or third nourishment processor.

This model brags a vast limit and a great engine to handle every one of those dreary and tedious kitchen errands, also that it looks great on your ledge and supplements your other up-to-date apparatuses.

Is there anything ailing in this model? Is it worth the cost? We should go over the highlights together and we'll make sense of if this is the correct nourishment processor for you.

Refresh: This model is suspended and is being supplanted with the Cuisinart DFP-14BCNY 14-Cup Food Processor.

Capacity


When you're making a dinner it frequently includes a few stages and the need to process a few fixings at any given moment. With the DFP-14BCN 14-Cup limit you'll have a lot of space to make expansive bunches of new hummus, salsa and massage enough mixture for various portions of bread. No compelling reason to part the formula and process in different groups, which can be tedious and an issue. With such a substantial limit, you can get for all intents and purposes the entirety of your nourishment prep work done all at once. 

Clients are exploiting the extensive size to puree soups and make huge bunches of salsa, pesto and even puppy sustenance. It makes vast group cooking a snap. 

The 14-Cup work bowl features:

  • Shatter resistant Lexan® plastic
  • Cold and heat resistant
  • Goes right into the dishwasher
  • BPA free – so no toxic plastic chemicals are leaching into your food
  • The bowl is 7 inches in diameter and 6 inches high

The work bowl can hold up to 3 pounds or 6 measures of universally handy flour, 3-1/2 measures of entire grain flour and 14 measures of Cuisinart DFP-14BCN 14-Cup Food Processor work bowlsliced or destroyed organic product, cheddar, or vegetables. The fluid limit is substantially less. There is a maximum fill level for fluids that is plainly set apart on the bowl, simply make sure to not go over that line and you'll spare yourself from a muddled circumstance. 

Simply take after Cuisinart's suggestions to you utilize close to 3 mugs thin or 6 glasses thick fluid and you'll do fine. 

The work bowl does not accompany a reduced level cover, the cover with this model has the additional substantial feed tube incorporated into it. There is an alternative to buy a Flat Cover with Cap for about $15 

One final thing I needed to call attention to about the work bowl (I discovered this information in the manual) is that cleaving certain nourishments like ice or entire flavors can scratch the bowl and furthermore utilizing certain oils like wintergreen oil may influence the work to bowl shady after some time. Cuisinart recommends you purchase another with the goal that you can devote one bowl only for your flavors or oils 

Lamentably this model just accompanies the one 14-Cup bowl and there isn't a choice to include a littler bowl.

Size Of Feed Tube


Handling bigger things, for example, cheddar and zucchini is a snap with the included additional substantial feed tube. It can Cuisinart DFP-14BCN 14-Cup Food Processor feed tubeaccommodate those huge clusters of vegetables from your garden or agriculturist's market easily. Utilizing the substantial pusher you can push entire potatoes or tomatoes through the huge feed tube, no compelling reason to cut them into littler pieces to begin with, which eliminates your planning time. 

There is additionally a little sustenance pusher which can be utilized when you have to process say one carrot or cucumber or when you have to include oil or different fluids and it will consolidate it gradually into your blend in the bowl. 

A few clients found it somewhat of an aggravation that the feed tube is situated at the back of the machine. Being in the back made it more unbalanced to work, I speculate on the grounds that the conrol catches are in the front of the machine.

Knead Dough

The included plastic mixture edge alongside the huge 14-Cup limit work bowl gives you a chance to make enormous clusters of your most loved batter. It is incredible for massaging bread batter and making pizza, pie and treat mixture.

Controls/Speed


Oar controls include an off/beat control to rapidly process batter and crude dry fixings and in addition the "on" catch that considers consistent activity. 

All sustenance processors have an on and beat catches. The persistent on catch is utilized to pound meat, make nut margarines or pureeing products of the soil to make child nourishment or different formulas. 

You utilize the beat catch by squeezing it on and off and to get the required consistency that you need. On the off chance that you beat too long you can over process your nourishment and transform it into mush.

Power


The engine base houses a 720-watt rock solid engine that is ground-breaking yet calm. It won't get stalled or surrender when handling substantial mixture. 

NOTE: One thing I needed to bring up is that the "how to" video on the Cuisinart site said the machine accompanies an "intense acceptance engine," however when I called client administration to solicit them what is the advantage from an enlistment engine, the specialist said the machine accompanies an "Immediate Drive" engine, which implies there are no apparatuses interfacing the engine to the pole so it is more averse to break.


Blades



Every cutting edge is designed to make full utilization of the power from the DFP-14BCN 720 watt engine. The sharp edges are adaptable and will make your sustenance readiness brisk and simple. The plates have balancers on the base to keep them level while working. 

1. Hardened Steel Slicing Disk (4mm) – the cutting circle can daintily cut any sustenance thing, for example, lemons, cabbage, or potatoes for au gratin 

2. Medium Shredding Disk – can go about as a fine grater or french shaper destroying plate 

3. Tempered Steel Chopping/Mixing Blade – the generally useful cleaving sharp edge can puree pesto and sauce or cut through herbs rapidly. This cutting edge can be utilized for an assortment of undertakings in the kitchen. 

4. Plastic Dough Blade – can blend an assortment of mixture and hitter 

A few clients noticed that the cutting edges didn't appear to be of an indistinguishable quality from prior models and that they split or broke after some time. Substitution circles are accessible, anyway they are costly. The 4mm cutting circle costs $32 and the medium destroying plate costs $26 

These cutting edges are extremely flexible and can do vegetables, purees, cleave and puree meats and fish, bread mixture, nuts, cheddar, cake player and treat batter, whip egg whites, whip cream, bread morsels 

In the demo video, the Cuisinart agent could rapidly cut red peppers and they turned out delightfully, every one of the cuts were uniform. Yet, would it do likewise for delicate high water content vegetables like tomatoes? One client noticed that the cutting plate is extraordinary for cutting hard vegetables yet it didn't do as such well with tomatoes. It might take some experimentation to get the outcomes you require with delicate veggies.

Extra Attachments


Cuisinart pitches an assortment of plates to add to your gathering. These plates can be utilized on the Cuisinart DFP-14 Custom 14-Cup Food Processor and diminish the measure of kitchen mess with contraptions, for example, mandolins or julienne gadgets. 

To round out your gathering and get a decent arrangement of plates you can put resources into the 3 Piece Specialty set which incorporates an additional thick cutting, fine grinding and french broil circles. It cost about $70. 

You can likewise buy a Whisk Attachment (to beat cream, egg whites, and so forth). The Cuisinart DLC-055TX-1 Food Processor Whisk Attachment incorporates the whisk connection, center point connector, and 2 tempered steel mixers. It costs $62 on Amazon and $83 on the Cuisinart site. 

For security I would likewise suggest buying either the plate holder or the cutting edge and circle holder to store every one of your edges and plates.

Price

I've seen this model evaluated path over $200, however at most retailers, the value floats amongst $165 and $180 which is as yet expensive, so in the event that you will put resources into this model, ensure you utilize it regularly to legitimize the cost. 

When I perceived what amount of this model cost, I was suspecting that they are more affordable nourishment processors available so what are you getting for the additional cash? This is what you're extremely paying for: 

Very large capacity
Powerful motor
comes standard with a decent choice of edges including a batter sharp edge 

Additional connections accessible to give you greater adaptability in handling 

Sturdy, well built

Confided in mark that has been making sustenance processors for quite a while. 

Despite the fact that you can get a sustenance processor for under $30, it likely wouldn't hold up and additionally the DFP-14BCN. In setting up this audit, loads of clients said that they had already obtained a modest processor that did not perform extremely well. A reasonable machine is fine on the off chance that you truly don't utilize it that regularly or you are on a tight spending plan. However, in the event that you're searching for a huge limit processor with loads of intensity and sharp edge alternatives that can deal with for all intents and purposes anything you toss at it, at that point it is justified regardless of the cost.
