Hi Sherry -

I have the Cuisinart 11-cup FP from Costco. It has been the BEST

investment. I make nut butter for brownies and muffins at least once a

week, which really works the motor, and have had zero issues in over 2

years. I also find it really handy for making those big pots of food

that call for lots of chopped veggies. :-)

I can't comment on the dehydrator. I have 2 ovens, so I'm able to use

the oven for making yogurt and dehydrating.

I like the dehydrator option because you can do more than just make yogurt in it

(I love making macaroons, mini pizza chips, kale chips...etc). I think I have

the same kind Marilyn does - 9 tray excalibur. It's pricey but worth it (for me

anyway).

I currently use a KitchenAid food processor that works just fine. BF has a

bigger (heavier) cuisinart food processor. That one is nice to use sometimes

when I have more to process than my fp can hold. But that situation is a

rarity, for the most part mine works great.

Well, I didn't have a food processor for the first eight years I was on

SCD, but then a Good Fairy brought me a Cuisinart 14 cup FP, and I find

it useful for some things, like whipping huge batches of mustard into

shape and making celeriac mashed potatoes and other things.

If you can afford the Excalibur 9 tray, I highly recommend it. I have two

of them. You can it for so many things other than just make yogurt. Dried

meat sticks (including pepperoni), drying meringues, drying fruits and

veggies, etc. etc. I've also used them for drying my swim weights, but

that doesn't have anything to do with SCD. <grin>
