The New Generation in Food Processors
Date of Review: Nov 26, 2000
Cuisinart 14 Cup Power Prep Plus Food Processor Model Number: DLC-2014
Brand name: Cuisinart
Color: white only
Cuisinart is the name in food processors. For years they came out with the newest features before other brands did, and once again they accomplished their goal...to come out with a top quality product.
I cheated a few months back when I started doing some of my early Christmas shopping. I bought myself a gift and unwrapped it before it was wrapped. I looked around the kitchen to make sure no-one was around and started to page through the manual. Mid-way through, I had to give the processor a whirl, and plugged it in. Pressed a button and heard that delightful noise. I quickly turned it off, went back to my manual and finished it. Then making sure that I still had the house to myself, I slipped the video tape that comes with this product in and learned even more on how to operate my new toy.

To Clean:
Machine is easy to pull apart (and return to order) and all are washable. You may put blades in dishwasher, but I recommend wash yourself so you know that it is extremely clean.
remember, left over food products can be dangerous to your health Base comes clean with a hot sudsy cotton cloth, please dry as to keep machine looking good.
Storage:
You can pull parts off and store separate. Machine itself fits nicely in cupboards without taking up much room. I stick mine in the back of the counter and cover with a dustcover.
If you have ever used any
Cuisinart product before, you know that they are very trustworthy. And it is going on 2001, it is time to upgrade your food processor and I would like to recommend you get the new
