My sister was kind enough to get me a Cuisinart Food Processor for Christmas. I know this must sound dumb, but it wasn't until yesterday that I managed to clear off some counter space in my very messy kitchen, and unpack it and set it up.<br><br><br><br>
We had our "wholly Macro" potluck and I made a stuffed squash recipe that called for ground pecans. The Cuisinart did a much better job of grinding/chopping the pecans than did the old VitaMix blender that i had been using. And I got rave reviews on the stuffed squash.<br><br><br><br>
But I've never had a food processor before, so am totally in the dark about its uses/usefulness.<br><br><br><br>
Any tips would be appreciated.<br><br><br><br>
Sis got me the seven-cup Model DLC 5.<br><br><br><br><a href="http://www.cuisinart.com/cgi-bin/product/dis_item.pl5?index=Food_Processors&detail=DLC-5" target="_blank">http://www.cuisinart.com/cgi-bin/pro...s&detail=DLC-5</a><br><br><br><br>
