The structure of the food processor is sleek and contemporary. The food is chopped or "processed" by a turning blade that's mounted on a circular blending vessel that's put into a lid-mounted chute. The base contains the motor and pane controls, and sits safely on your countertop with rubberized feet. Food processors for the home are sold in a variety of sizes, from oversized, nearly commercial models to tiny units no larger than a large coffee mug,these days. Many come with a selection of blades to handle a variety of tasks. You can chop, slice, dice, julienne, along with blend and puree. Accessories are available to knead bread dough or to stir thicker concoctions more effectively than what a traditional blender can produce.

History

The magical appliance was the brainchild of Carl Sontheimer, a retired engineer and physicist with a love of cooking. After viewing the demo of a commercial food processing device in France, he returned to America ready to make a home version of the device. In 1973 The Cuisinart Food Processor was first shown off. This device, familiar to professional chefs but not before made in a home model, found a very high demand because of its ability to be helpful in so many ways.

The Cuisinart food processor remains the flagship of all the firm's products. There are now around two dozen models available from Cuisinart, including many designs and sizes for the home cook.
