Re: Re: re Favorite kitchen equipment

I like mine best for chopping and grating. (We have a joke, that my husband

bought it for me one Christmas, because he was tired of being the one to

grate sweet potatoes for sweet potato pudding.) I might use a knife and

cutting board for half an onion or less, but any more than that, I chunk the

onion into the Cuisinart. We don't make anything with grated cheese

anymore, but have made Carole Fenster's granola bars in it, and I chop nuts,

grate onions and such.

I have a real Cuisinart (I think it is more than a dozen years old) so can't

comment on the other versions. Mine washes in the dishwasher...which is the

kitchen equipment that I REALLY can't live without.
