Product Description

The Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus Food Processor is the perfect little helper for small food preparation, from chopping herbs to finely grinding hard cheese. Its versatility lies in its efficient 250-watt motor and special auto-reversing SmartPower blade, making the Mini-Prep versatile enough to process both soft and hard foods in the 24-ounce work bowl. In addition to the 24-ounce work bowl with handle, this mini food chopper includes a stainless steel blade with sharp blunt edges, spatula, and instruction/recipe book. The Mini-Prep Plus is as easy to clean as it is to look at, with a wipe-clean touch pad and dishwasher-safe removable parts. With a BPA-free design, the Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus Food Processor comes with a limited 18-month warranty.

This little 250-watt workhorse comes in handy when a full-size food processor is unnecessary. The 3-cup work bowl is just right for making pesto or a salad dressing, and two receptacles in the lid have pinholes for one or two oils to stream into the bowl while the processor is blending a perfect emulsion. It's also ideal for chopping and grinding. Pressing the "chop" button deploys the sharp edge of Cuisinart's patented reversible blade to chop onions, herbs, or bread crumbs. Pressing the "grind" button whirls the blade in the other direction so its blunt side can grind nuts, coffee beans, or cheese. Compact at just 9 inches high and lightweight (it has a plastic body), the Mini Prep Plus can be tucked away in a cabinet, and the little spatula accompanying it goes into a drawer. It carries an 18-month warranty against defects. The plastic work bowl and lid are dishwasher-safe, but the stainless-steel blade should be hand washed to protect its edges. --Fred Brack
