I also chop olives in it and other things. This is a replacement unit for my original mini-prep (plastic white). I am happy with my decision. According to the manual, it grinds coffee also (use the dull blade side), but I've never tried that. A MONSTER PRODUCT. I continue to love the mini-prep.
It's small and fits easily on the kitchen counter. I wanted to replace the blade, but then realized a whole new unit is not that much more money (about $15 for the blade versus $27). I use it much more often than the monster large Cuisinart, which I also own. The new one works better because of the sharper blade. It's great for mincing garlic, which I do often. The SS looks better than my old white one.
LOVE IT.
Terrible product and company. I chose to eat the cost and never purchase Cuisinart again.
It never worked from day one out of the box. It has never been used because it was dead on arrival.
I purchased this as a Christmas 2009 gift for my mother. That would up my puchased price by $10.00.
Call Cuisinart and was told that it has a 3 year limited warranty. I would have to pay $10.00 for shipping and handling on a new, unused item.
And of course write a review. Cuisinart DLC-1SS Mini-Prep Processor, Brushed Stainless Steel
it does not do the job at all. I've bought it for preparing my baby's first food, but it does not pure even soft steamed carrot, leaves big chunks and I have to check very carefully and pick them up. just hate it.
As far as how well the Mini-Prep works on food I can say it is good and quick. Watch out because the blades are sharp. Removing the blades and cleaning them is challenging and must be done very carefully to avoid getting cut fingers. I gave it four stars rather than five stars because of the design of the blade's ring which twists on and off of the removable post. It requires some amount of pressure to twist it off and on, but the edge of the blade is right where you need to handle the plastic nub on the ring to do so.
I love this little processor. It took a few minutes to figure out exactly how to make it run, but once doing that it works like a charm. Good product, only the second time I ordered from Amazon but will definitely do so in the future.In all honestly was going to send it back and realized it was me not the product. I know use it daily.
