More convenient than ever, the Cuisinart Elite collection 4-cup chopper/grinder effortlessly handles a variety of food preparation tasks such as chopping, grinding and pureeing. The smartpower blade has a patented auto-reversing ability with a sharp edge for delicate chopping and pureeing soft foods, while the blunt edge grinds through spices and harder foods. Additionally, the revolutionary bladelock system feature keeps the blade secure during processing and pouring. Small enough to keep on the counter, the 4-cup work bowl is the ideal size for many food prep tasks. The handle, touchpad controls, and dishwasher safe parts make it even more convenient to operate and clean. It's cutting-edge food prep from Cuisinart.

From the Manufacturer

In 1973, Cuisinart expanded the potential of every American kitchen with the introduction of the food processor. Now, the folks who revolutionized the way you cook are back with a collection that takes power and innovation to the next level.

The Cuisinart Elite Chopper/Grinder handles a variety of food preparation tasks, such as chopping, grinding, pureeing, emulsifying, and blending. The 4 cup capacity holds enough ingredients to perform all your basic food prep tasks. The patented SmartPower auto-reversing blade features an incredibly sharp edge for delicate chopping and pureeing soft foods. The reverse edge is blunt, to grind through spices and harder foods. And the exclusive BladeLock System enables the blade to lock into the bowl, so you can now pour ingredients out of the bowl without first having to remove the blade. The powerful high-speed motor works hard and fast to accomplish small jobs with ease. Chop herbs, onions or garlic; grind spices or hard cheese; puree baby foods; blend homemade mayo and flavored butter -- all in one compact machine that is small enough to keep on the counter. You have virtually unlimited options with the Cuisinart Elite Collection Chopper/Grinder.
Features
  • Convenient Size, Compact Design: Small enough to keep on the counter, the 4-cup work bowl is the ideal size for many food prep tasks. The handle, touchpad controls, and the dishwasher safe parts make it even more convenient to operate and clean.
  • Optimum Safety: No need to remove the blade after processing! The exclusive BladeLock System secures the blade in place for easy user-friendly pouring. Pour all you like -- these blades aren’t going anywhere. The patented blade system saves you the time and hassle of removing them before pouring out those potentially messy soups and sauces.
  • Simplicity: The Chop/Grind touchpad controls and patented auto-reversing SmartPower blade offer powerful processing options at the touch of a button.
Tips for Better Food Processing Food size: Always cut large pieces of food into smaller pieces of even size -- about 1/2 an inch -- to produce a uniform chop.Chop and Grind Function Bowl fill: Do not overload the work bowl; processed food should not reach more than two-thirds of the way up the work bowl. Please note: because of the powerful motor, it is recommended to use one hand to support the chopper/grinder during operation. Chop vs. Grind: Use the Chop function for chopping, pureeing and mixing. It is the right choice, for example, for chopping soft, fragile food such as herbs, celery, onions, garlic and most cheeses. It is also the right choice for pureeing cooked vegetables, making mayonnaise, and mixing salad dressing. Use the Grind function for grinding spices, and for chopping hard foods such as peppercorns, seeds, chocolate and nuts. Pulse vs. Continuous-hold: Pulsing is best when you are using the chop function. Two or three pulses are often enough. Be sure to check the food frequently to prevent over processing. If you over-process, you are likely to get a watery paste instead of a fine chop. A continuous-hold is best when you are using the grind function. Depending on the food, you may have to operate the unit for several seconds to achieve the desired results -- or as long as 20 seconds for some seeds. When operating in continuous-hold, use a pulse action every 10 seconds to allow food to drop to the bottom of the work bowl. This provides more consistent results. Never operate the unit continuously for longer than one minute at a time. Adding liquid: You can add liquids such as water, oil or flavoring while the machine is running. For example, you might want to add oil when making mayonnaise or salad dressing, or you could add vanilla or alcohol when making frozen yogurt. Pour the liquid through one of the two openings in the cover. Please note: only add liquid through one opening at a time. The other opening must be left unobstructed to allow air to escape. If both opening are blocked, liquid cannot flow smoothly into the bowl. Removing food from the sides of the bowl: Occasionally food will stick to the sides of the bowl as you process. Stop the machine to clear the food away. Once the blade has stopped, remove the cover and use the included spatula to scrape the food from the sides of the bowl back into the center. Do not put hands into bowl unless unit is unplugged.
Quick Start Guide
  1. Place the work bowl firmly on the motor base. Opening the at the back of the bowl must face column at the back of the Chopper/Grinder. Turn bowl counterclockwise to lock in place.
  2. Insert the blade assembly. Carefully pick up the blade by its hub and place on the center stem until it drops to the bottom of the stem. Firmly push to lock the blade into position. NEVER TOUCH THE BLADE ITSELF AND NOTE THE BLADE IS NOT PERMANENTLY LOCKED.
  3. Place food in the work bowl. Be sure the food is cut into small pieces, and the bowl is not overloaded.
  4. Lock the cover into position.
  5. Press the appropriate Chop or Grind control, depending on the food you are processing.
  6. When you have finished processing the food, stop the machine by releasing the control button.
  7. ONCE THE BLADE STOPS MOVING, unplug the unit.
  8. Remove cover and work bowl
    1. Turn work bowl cover clockwise to remove.
    2. Turn work bowl clockwise to unlock and lift lid off base.
      Note: thicker ingredients can be removed while work bowl is still on base.
  10. To remove liquids and sauces from bowl: simply pour ingredients out of work bowl. The convenient BladeLock System keeps the blade safely in place.
  11. To remove thicker ingredients from bowl: Carefully remove the blade assembly by holding the handle on the top of the sheath and gently pulling up to disengage blade lock. Remove food with spatula.
    Tips: Always process foods in order, from dry to wet, to avoid having to clean bowl and blade between each task. Never operate the Cuisinart Elite Collection Chopper/Grinder without ingredients in the work bowl.

    12. The BladeLock System Cleaning and Storage To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover, and blade immediately after each use. Wash blade assembly, work bowl, cover, and spatula in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry. Use caution when washing the blade.
    Make Hummus in Minutes Avoid leaving the blade in soapy water where it may disappear from sight. The work bowl, cover, blade assembly, and spatula can be washed on the top rack of a dishwasher. Wipe the motor base clean with a damp sponge or cloth. Dry it immediately. Never submerge the motor base or plug in water or other liquid. The Cuisinart Elite Collection Chopper/Grinder stores neatly on the countertop in a minimum of space. When it is not in use, be sure to leave it unplugged. The hidden cord storage underneath the motor base will help to keep excess cord off the countertop. Store the unit assembled to prevent loss of parts. Store the blades out of reach of children.

5 Stars
I use this several times a week!
I really hesitated buying a food processor. But I had SO much zucchini, eggplant and tomatoes from the garden that I needed help processing all that wonderful food! This was perfect. Whether grating, chopping or pureeing it does what it’s supposed to do. I especially liked it for making eggplant meatballs. I was able to process the eggplant, mushrooms and cashews together, making the event much easier. I also filled my freezer with shredded zucchini in freezer bags sized perfectly for zucchini bread recipes. Now that I’m used to using it, I would be lost without it. I hate giving up my counter “real estate” to machines and gadgets but this fit nicely in the corner and doesn’t interfere with my work area.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best food processor ever
Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2024
Color: Silver Die CastPattern Name: Food ProcessorVerified Purchase
I have owned at least 5 food processors over the last 40 years and this is by far the best. Cuisinart has made it much easier to use - the top clicks in nicely and pops off by pushing a button rather than twisting on and off like previous models. I like the small bowl for little jobs however you should know that it can only be used with the chopping blade. The chopping blade clicks in so it will not come out when pouring something from the bowl. It requires a small amount of pulling to remove but I feel this is a good safety feature. The slicing blade can adjust to 6 different widths and the shredding blade reverses to 2 sizes. This eliminates the need for more attachments. Lastly I find the power to be more than adequate and works well for vegetables such as carrots, cabbage, fruit of all sorts and meat and well as bread dough. It comes with a useful recipe book too. It used it to make smoothies and delicious scones which came out perfectly.
the pulse function is useful to avoid over processing things such as pie crust - but be sure follow the directions as a good guide. Kids can use it as well with supervision. The plastic parts appears to be sturdy and designed so as to prevent breakage. I have owned Cuisinart processors in the past and found that the plastic parts broke off after a short amount of time. I believe this was a flaw that has been corrected in this model. I highly recommend this product. It is well worth the price.

Love this. Small and perfect and doesn’t take up much cabinet or counter space.
I’ve just purged the 13 cup food processor that I used twice. This one is perfect for what I need. Easy to clean and chops just enough, holds 4 cups or so. Have made it for hummus, aioli, chopped nuts etc. It isn’t any louder than any of the other chopper/blender things that are out there. No problem with it sliding off the counter, it hasn't, but you aren’t going to leave it alone anyway. If you need a small food processor, this may be the gadget one for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cuisinart FP-14DCN Elite 2.0 14 cup Food Processor
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2016
Color: Die CastPattern Name: Food ProcessorVerified Purchase
I ordered the Cuisinart FP14DCN Elite 2.0, 14 cup food processor, two days ago and it was delivered today to my complete joy. Amazon said this Friday it would be delivered and it was delivered today, a day early. That sets the tone.
This processor was well packaged in its Cuisinart box and as I explored the contents I discovered the product was flawless in every way. Not so much as a scratch on the box or any content damage. I read all the instructions provided and watched all the Cuisinart You-Tube videos on their Food Processors.
I read every review and comment about this machine and lots of them were obviously not by purchasers of this particular processor. Many questions popped up about construction, it is Die Cast, not some questionable plastic or other similar material. It is heavy die cast aluminum. It also happens to be the same color name that causes confusion. The work bowls are not flimsy as some reviewers have stated, but rather durable, though not indestructible. I've watched lots of video recipes where people slam the tops down rather hard. That's bound to cause some breakage. I think most of the low reviews were where people thought they were having equipment malfunctions or breakage were more a result of mishandling. It helps when users actually read the instructions and examine how all the parts fit together.
When I turn on this processor and put it to work, it does not move around out of balance or migrate across the counter top. it feels firmly rooted to the counter, causing me to feel very confident in the machine's design and its performance.
The accompanying box that houses this machine's components are those components specifically a part of this machine and there is no extra room for additional components. This machine only comes with the main 14 cup work bowl and the 4 1/2 cup work bowl. Each bowl has its own stainless steel "S" blade. The large bowl has the nonmetal Dough blade. Two cutting discs are provided, a double sided shredding disc and the adjustable slicing disc. The use of the smaller work bowl requires the use of an adapter extension that is also in the "tool box."
I researched every food processor in the 14-16 cup range. I made trips to various stores that carried food processors. I was seriously looking at the Breville and Kitchen Aid because I absolutely love my Kitchen Aid Pro 6 cup stand mixer and had also heard Breville was supposed to be an outstanding food processor. I also have a smaller Cuisinart that is still, after 13 years, a great machine, I have simply decided I need a pastry dough handling machine that works perfect.
Regardless of what reviews on the other machines say, they do not do as well as this particular model.
This machine has a notice on the box that it carries a 20 year guarantee on the motor and three year on the rest, while others are either one or 10 year on the motor. It is not the regular type motor with brushes, hence the quieter and smoother operation. Not to say "quiet" just quieter. Those reviews that claimed the annoying smell when they ran their machine makes me think they were not talking about this machine because it is not designed with motor brushes.
So, I am providing this review because there is so much misinformation in many of the reviews. Again, this is the Cuisinart FP-14DCN Elite Collection 2.0 14 cup Food Processor. This processor is the only one in the 14 cup class rated at 1300 watts of peak power. I purchased this machine at the posted price of 238 dollars including taxes and was not given any price breakst. This is a great machine, consistent with my experience with other Cuisinart machines.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super silencioso y Potente. Viene con Multiples Cuchillas. Metal Solido en la base.
Reviewed in Mexico on April 6, 2024
Color: Die CastPattern Name: Food ProcessorVerified Purchase
Este procesador de alimentos es excelente en calidad y artesanía. Es muy sencillo de utilizar, y viene con muchos accesorios (en una caja especial para guardarlos)

La base es de metal solido y lo hace estable en donde lo coloques.

Viene con un tazón extra grande y otro mas pequeño. Igualmente tiene dos cuchillas, una grande y una pequeña, asi como una cuchilla para amasar y dos discos de corte/rallado.

El funcionamiento es muy simple, por pulsaciones o encenderlo y apagarlo por un periodo de tiempo definido.

El motor es prácticamente insonoro. Lo unico que se oye es las cuchillas cuando cortan la comida. Realmente estoy muy sorprendido porque no esperaba esto, inclusive al encenderlo la primera vez en vacío no escuche casi nada de ruido del motor y pense que no había prendido, pero no fue asi, es un equipo de alta calidad y tecnología.

Estoy muy contento con haberlo comprado.

Gran procesador de alimentos, lo uso mucho y realmente satisfecho. No le di la calificación completa , porque tengo que decir que la cubierta es un poco difícil de limpiar y la apertura es un poco pequeña para mi gusto. Pero funciona bien y es realmente poderoso. tal vez un poco muy fuerte, Ojalá tuviera algo para ajustar la intensidad.

A part of the food processor was broken, the food processor was dirty and poorly cleaned, it was scratched, and the box was very damaged... Obviously, this was not a "like new" condition... very, very disappointed.
