    Default UPDATE: Breville food processor

    UPDATE:

    I decided what the heck and splurged on the top of the line Breville with the powerful motor and dicing and potato peeling LOL but I used Amex gift card points so no guilt I love this thing! I’ve been using it almost daily, though I haven’t tried out the peeler yet. Aside from some difficulties with slicing mozzarella cheese, everything has turned out perfectly.
    The small chopper is so powerful that I ended up mashing a small batch of onions LOL It worked out because ds doesn’t like onion bits but he will eat this without his knowledge.

    ——————-

    I’m trying to decide between the various breville food processors. I started looking before, But now that I’m cooking more and trying to freeze things, I really need it. And my old cuisinart food processor AND my blender broke recently.
    I want one with a very powerful motor because I’m sick and tired of these sorts of appliances breaking down. Does anyone have a Breville food processor? Any suggestions on the model?
    Does anyone have the top-of-the-line dicing one? It seems really extreme and expensive, but I’m going to be using rewards points on this with a gift card so I’m willing to splurge. I think I will use it a lot because I do tend to use my mini Cuisinart quite a bit, but recently it’s been getting stuck almost every time.

    I love the dough attachment to make bread.

    I have Breville Sous Chef™ Food Processor, 12-Cup and I especially like the different blades and attachments.

    I am still plugging along with my 17 year old 7 cup Cuisinart we got as a wedding gift. I am on my second mini Cuisinart though, but the first lasted a good long time...maybe 10 years. My mom’s 11 cup Cuisinart is at least 20 years old. I have never wanted anything bigger honestly and mine does fine for a loaf of bread, a pie crust, and the chopping and shredding I usually use it for. I can’t find flour anywhere right now so I am sadly not using for baking so I am no real help. When mine dies maybe I will upgrade but now I am happy with my current one.

    Have you checked Wirecutter for reviews?

    Target was fully stocked with flour and all types of sugar when I had to go last week.

    I finally saw a 10 lb. bag at the Target closest to my house last week, which was a first since the quarantine started. The other Target we go to (because I really don’t like the 2 story behemoth Target near my house) near Long Beach State was out last night again, but I didn’t need it. Thankfully I had bought 6 lbs. from a local restaurant two weeks ago. There not being sugar has never been an issue.

    Yeah, I saw it demoed on YouTube on a channel I watch https://youtu.be/43hNy6JW09I

    Thanks for the review OP. I cannot invest so much right now but for now I’m quite happy with this mini chopper for chopping an onion or mincing some ginger or a few garlic cloves https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXVZI7F..._63cPEb3K60JRP
