Cuisinart’s Custom 14-Cup Food Processor performs as well as top-of-the-line competitors—and for less than half the price. We bought a Cuisinart Custom 14-Cup Food Processor to send to our expert tester so she could shred potatoes, rice cauliflower, puree beans, and more. Read her review below.
Cuisinart notes that all parts of the food processor that come in contact with food are BPA-free, which means you don’t have to worry about dangerous toxins leaching into your food. We found the placement of the tube—at the back of the unit—to be somewhat awkward. The Cuisinart food processor is entirely dishwasher safe.
The Cuisinart Custom boasts a sleek and ergonomic design, with a brushed stainless steel body and easy-to-use paddle-style buttons. This machine has only one speed and a pulse button that’s very responsive to the touch, making chopping more efficient.
We chose to make an apple crumb pie based on a recipe in the Cuisinart’s instruction manual and it was a crowd-pleaser, with a near-perfect tender and flaky crust. We used the shredding disc to shred potatoes and onions for making potato latkes, and the main stainless steel blade for ricing cauliflower to make a low-carb pizza crust.
