A wonderful piece of equipment

[Guest guest]

My success with making almond butter in my food processor was iffy.

After damaging the unit twice (an old Oster Kitchen Center) I decided to

bite the bullet and buy a Cuisinart Prep 11 Plus. What a great machine!

I can't make as large an amount of almond butter at one time as I would

like (they say not to process more than two cups of nuts at a time), but

it goes so easily and smoothly that making two separate batches is no

big deal. I don't have to intervene in the process at all, it just does

it all by itself. The unit is really easy to use and clean. They have a

14 cup version, but unless you are a caterer the 11 cup unit should be

more than enough. It even has a dough blade and speed, though I haven't

tried that yet. It lists for about $230, but I bought it at Bed, Bath,

and Beyond because they send me a 20% coupon off a single item every two

months or so. Saved $46 on the machine this way.

If you're looking for a way to make the diet easier to do, take a look

at the Prep 11 Plus, it's very cool.
