survey- best food processor?

[Guest guest]

Hey Everyone

Can you give me feedback on food processors? I have one, but not big

enough to do all the mixing for pancakes, chopping enough chicken for

the family... . I have 3 little ones, and one on the way! So we need

one big enough for a family of 6.

Thanks

Kathy and

I recently bought a Cuisinart and love it!!! It's heavy duty enough to grind

nuts and meats and etc.

Elaine made a fantastic rast red pepper and almond spread (recipe to follow)

She used an

older food processor. I bought one at a housewares discount store and could not

snap it

together quickly so I returned it. Elaine was incredulous and thought I was

really peculiar.

A few months later Cuisinart introduced brand new models-- the " Ferraris " of

food

processors and I sprung for the 11 cup plus model. Wow! Talk about becoming a

quick

study of a chef overnight. I saved so much prep time and became very inventive

and

cleanup was a breeze. I also invested in an Omega Juicer which can processes

food as well

as juicing. These two appliances have made SCD cooking very creative,

professional and

fun.

Ramesco

1/2 cup toasted almonds chopped finely in food processor.

3 tablespoons butter

*1 cup of roasted red peppers from a jar, drained

2 teaspoons wine vinegar,

2 small piece jalepeno peppers (optional)

1 clove garlic

2 tablespoons olive oil

Crisp romaine leaves

This is Elaine's recipe and these were her exact instructions:

" I do my own roasted almonds. I use my big frying pan with

about 3 tablespoons butter - heat turned to about 3. I make about 3/4

pound at a time. I slowly cook the nuts in the butter, scooping and turning

about every 3

minutes to distribute butter over the pile and when the butter starts turning

brown and

you smell the little devils, and they look slightly darker, I dump them on a pan

with 3

layers of paper towels, dab them of the grease, and salt. "

Place almonds in a food processor. Drain roasted red peppers and add to almonds

along

with wine vinegar, jalepeno peppers), garlic and whir to a thick paste.

Gradually add the

olive oil and drip slowly as the processor whirs. Season with salt to taste.

Refrigerate one hour before serving

Serve as a pate on SCD crackers or romaine leaves or use as a dip

*Elaine used peppers from a jar but roasting from scratch is more " legal "

I LOVE my Cuisinart also. I have a little mini and liked it so much that I

bought a big one. They are both troopers! I bought the 11 cup because it had

an 11 yr warranty. The Kitchen Aide only had 1 yr.

Thanks to all for answering my food processor survey.

I love to cook and even if I would not do SCD for my

child, I would still do these recipes!

Thanks, Kathy
