It Slices! It Dices! It Rolls On Its Belly Like A Reptile!
As a cook with decades of experience under her painfully cinched belt, my brand new Cuisinart® Pro Custom 11 appeared to challenge my hard earned title, Kitchen Kween ~ Dark Mistress of Her Domain. This bulky apparatus, with its seemingly simple pair...

Pros:
Powerful motor; heavy non-slip base; stainless steel blades; 5 year motor warranty
Cons:
Poorly designed dual-purpose feed tube
Bottom Line:
While newer versions of the Cuisinart Pro Custom 11 hit the market, my sturdy model functions as well today as it did the day I brought it home.

Why slice when you can push a button?
My husband got the Cuisinart Procustom 11 food processor for me two Christmases ago. It has not left its honored space on my counter since, in spite of a severe lack of counter space. Along with my mixer, I consider it an absolute necessity in my...

Powerful Enough Even For A Man
I bought myself this food processor for my birthday three years ago. I am one of those odd women who actually love getting kitchen gadgets as gifts. I was looking for an easy way to make salsa, pesto, and puree'd fruits in large quantities. I make large...

It All Started With The Peanut Butter
It all started with the peanut butter.
I loathe store-brand peanut butter and won't feed my kids the goop made with sugar, salt, and enough preservatives to embalm a small dog. So I buy the expensive health food store brands, where the only...

My favorite kitchen appliance
I grew up using a Cuisinart, therefore my opinion of its invaluable worth may be biased. However, this is my all-time favorite kitchen appliance for several reasons.

It slices, it dices, but wait, there's more!
By all accounts, I'm a pretty horrendous cook, but I would be much worse without my Cuisinart Custom 11. Not only does slicing, dicing and julliening by hand take a long time, it's hard to do them well without practice, and quite frankly, I don't have...

Very good! Too bad it cannot grow...
My wife wanted a food processor and when we got an electric grill as a Christmas gift, we returned it to Sears and bought Cuisinart Pro Custom 11. It has five blades: plastic dough blade, metal dicing knives, thin and thick slicing blades and a shredder...

Pros:
powerful motor, blade assortment, safety feature, reliability, heavy steady basement
Cons:
relatively small loading hole, which makes pre-cutting necessary, sometimes I wish we had a 14 cup model; round blades are sometimes hard to clean in the corners
