Cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor Review

- LINK to Cuisinart 14-cup Food Processor: amzn.to/2jj7ewE Hi Guys, today I’m reviewing the Cuisinart 14-Cup food processor in brushed stainless steel. It measures 15 inches tall and 10 inches deep and 7.5 inches wide. It weighs about 18.4 pounds so it is heavy. You’re not going to want to move this around often. A food processor this size is best for people who do a lot of slicing, shredding and cooking in general.
The housing is plastic. The design is elegant, sleek and simple. There are two levers, one to turn on and process continuously and one to pulse and turn off the unit.
This food processor comes with the housing base, 14-cup work bowl, cover with extra large feed tube, small and large pushers, 4 mm stainless steel slicing disc, medium stainless steel shredding disc, detachable stem that fits both discs, stainless steel blade for chopping/mixing and dough, a plastic spatula and instruction manual with recipes.
To put the unit together, place the work bowl on the base and turn to lock. If you’re chopping, insert the blade, place your ingredients in the bowl and turn the cover, press the pusher assembly down to lock it into place.
To test the unit, I’ll make dough, hummus, puree, mince,slice and shred vegetables. First I’ll mince onions. I’ve got the blade in the bowl, cut up three beautiful red onions into 1 inch pieces. Put the cover on, insert the pusher assembly, lock it. I’ll use the off/pulse lever. Just press and release. When the blade stops, the food drops to the bottom of the bowl and goes through the blade when it starts up again. If you want bigger pieces of onion, you can stop here. If you want finely minced onion, keep going a few times. That’s beautifully and evenly minced. Whenever you’re chopping onions, tomatoes or anything with a lot of water, watch the bowl because it can quickly turn into a puree. To mince these three onions with a knife, it would have taken a lot longer. I love mincing onions finely especially when making curry. Next I’ll puree tomatoes to make fresh sauce. For a quick from scratch marinara, I mince onions, celery and carrots in the processor, sautee that and puree fresh tomatoes in here. This is 6 plum tomatoes cut up into 1 inch pieces. I’ll pulse then use the on lever to puree. The food processor makes it so quick to make your own sauce at home and you can control the ingredients that go into it so it’s much healthier.
Next I’ll make hummus. Put 3 cloves of garlic in. Turn the machine on. Now I’ll add 3 cans of drained chickpeas or garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, salt. Pulse a few times, then switch to ON. Let it go until smooth adding water through the feed tube if necessary. Drizzle olive oil over the top and sprinkle paprika. The hummus is so smooth and creamy. It was also extremely quick to make. If you’re having a lot of people over especially during the holidays, the food processor will definitely cut down on your prep time.
Next I’ll make pie dough. 2.5 cups flour, 2 sticks unsalted butter, 3/4 tsp salt, 1 tbsp sugar 6 - 8 tbsps ice water. Make sure your butter is cut up and extremely cold. Put the metal blade in the bowl. Put the flour, salt and sugar and butter in the processor. Pulse a few times until the dough is a little crumbly. Add a few tbsps ice water through the top and pulse until dough starts clumping together. Don’t over process it or let it ball up. Take it out and form a ball, divide it in half, press into a disk, wrap it up and refrigerate it. That’s how quick it is to make your own pie dough. You can also make pizza dough really quickly in the processor.
Next, I’ll use the slicing disc. Insert the stem into the disc, turn and lock. Put the stem in the middle, put the cover on. I’ve taken the stem off two bell peppers. Leave the bottom intact, put it in the feed tube, put the pusher assembly on and hold down the off/pulse lever, let it go once the pepper is sliced. The slices are even and round. This is great on top of pizza.
I’ve quartered a head of cabbage and taken the core out. Place the cabbage inside the feed tube. The pusher assembly has the small pusher in place. Put the pusher assembly in the feed tube and push down to lock. Press down on the off/pulse lever and let go when the cabbage is finished. That was done in 3 seconds which is super fast. This is perfect for coleslaw or just sauteed cabbage. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Excellent demonstration. Far far better than the Cuisinart company's demonstration video!
… which isn’t even available anymore at the web address they provide
This review was a lifesaver as the instruction booklet told me nothing about setting up the machine. My old machine is 37 years old, it was time for a new one. Thanks so much.
😀👍
I just got mine and you did a much better job of explaining whatevs in the box and how to use it than the booklet did. Thank you
👍😁
Thanks! Great review/demo - the instruction manual from Cuisinart had no instructions for first time users and their videos were not available. You answered a lot of my questions and were very reassuring on how to use the machine. Good job!
Glad it was helpful 😁
This video was more helpful than the manual in showing how to use this device. I just got this processor today, and I didn't have the patience to read the entire instruction manual, but as far as I can tell the manual doesn't tell how to do things like assemble the stem with the blades. The pieces take a little more muscle to assemble than my 35 year old "Regal" food processor especially since I'm being super careful because, like it's new and I don't want to break it. I guess that means it's a safer tool. It's certainly a lot quieter.
Thanks for sharing 😁
You are hands-down the best product reviewer...thorough and focused. Thank you.
😀👍
This just changed my life. I cook so much and I hate chopping vegetables so much that many rot before I get to them. I don’t know why I never thought of this.
Thanks for sharing 😁
Thank you. I just bought this food processor and was looking for a video on how to use the shredding and slicing attachments. This is the best video I've found!
Hi, glad the video was helpful :)
A very very helpful video!!!! If you're not part of the Quisinart team...they're missing a real gem. Thank you so much :)
This was perfect, I have this model and feel more confident when I see a product demo rather than just reading the guidebook. Thanks so much!!
Glad it was helpful 😀👍
just got one today..amazing machine and best vid by far Ive seen on putting together and using
Really fantastic demonstration! This is a really huge purchase for me, so I can't end up regretting it which of course is why I'm here looking at reviews. I love that you're showing such a variety of foods being processed, & really showing the up close texture of the food. I'm 95% ready to hit the buy button after seeing your video. Thank you so much!
You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful 😁
My secret Hummus recipe, and for the best Hummus taste ever do the following. Place the cooked garbanzo beans ( 1 pound) in the food processor. Add salt to your taste and add a teaspoon of Cumin for each pound of cooked Garbanzo beans, then add 2 "teeth " of peeled garlic. Run the machine until the Hummus is extremely smooth.After that, add 4 tablespoons of Tahini sauce to the mixture and run the machine again until all mixed well. Take out all the contents and spread them using a spatula evenly in a flat plate. For decoration , get a pinch of cooked garbanzo beans and place them in the middle of the Hummus . Take another pinch and separate it into 4 equal parts . You can place those equally on the hummus at edge of the plate. Get some chopped parsley and sprinkle ( very little ) on the garbanzo beans. Hummus does not taste good without extra virgin Olive Oil. In the middle East, in Jordan, some high end restaurants frie some pine nuts in Olive Oil and then spread them on the Hummus for extra price ( NOT CHEAP ) but delicious and high in Vitamin K2.( Vitamin K2 is important in preventing the cholesterol from sticking to the arteries.) Good appetite!
Thanks! We just got this unit to replace a smaller one where the plastic bowl cracked and was leaking. Watching this is so much more helpful than the small print manual.
Glad I could help!
I’m so glad I found this. I got my first food processor and I was so intimidated I was going to send it back. This was such a help. Thank you.
Glad it helped 😁
Outstanding demonstration. I found the book unhelpful when I needed a quick start. This was perfect! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful 😀👍
Thank you for the excellent instruction. Just bought this food processor and was having trouble with the feed tube/engage assembly. Was afraid to force it down into place until watching this video. I learned alot. The audio was good, too. Easy to hear and understand.
My husband sends his thanks, too. We hope to enjoy this machine.
Glad it was helpful 😀👍
Incredibly useful video - I just got this processor for Christmas and it's discontinued so no videos on Cuisinart's website. The manual showed the parts but not how to put them together and nothing at all about how to operate the processor - just what each blade could do and some recipes. Thanks you SO MUCH for telling me everything I needed to know to even get started with my new processor! I'm so excited now! :)
You are a life saver!! The lid instruction extremely necessary and was glossed over on the company’s demo. Thanks a bunch!!
👍😀
I agree. Your review addresses questions that many buyers/ users have. The demo helps visualize how to use the food processor.
I just ordered the 14 cup and can’t wait to try it out. It’s a step up from my 7 cup.
Thank You
Glad it was helpful 😁
That was one of the best reviews I have ever watched. Great editing cutting out dead spots, showing the good and the bad, up close shots of what the food actually looks like after processing. Thanks.
+Jason Decourcy Hi Jason, thanks so much for the positive comments! Please subscribe if you haven't already :)

Agreed. Good audio, nice close shots... bravo!
I agree! Much better than cuisinart's demonstration video.
Seriously. I was thinking something like this too
I love kitchen appliances and I basically have a list of them for my kitchen once I can afford them. Cuisinart food processor, Vitamix blender, and KitchenAid standmixer.
Lol, I have the exact same list!
Same I just watch every new appliance and write down for the next buy but I never buy everytime some other expenses takes place
I have two of the three; I'm saving up for a Vitamix, but I don't use a blender often so my 25-year-old KitchenAid blender will do for a while longer. (I spent what I'd saved for a Vitamix at a Le Creuset sale at a Le Creuset outlet store near me. No willpower.)
My list exactly lol, I have the Kitchen Aid though
What would be the advantage of a Vitamix blender. I can't seem to justify me needing one?
Wow! This is the best video I have seen on how to use the Cuisinart Food Processor! Very concise, thorough, and easy to understand. Thank you very much!
Glad it was helpful!
I have been using this for eight years. Excellent performance.
Thanks for sharing, Bipin 😀
You explained every detail very nicely.
😀👍
Excellent demo. Very clear enunciation and great recipes. Thanks so much. You've helped me make up my mind.
Thanks so much, glad the video helped :)
Brilliant review! Most people reviewing products talk a lot about nothing ! It is so annoying !!!! They don't show how the product works fully and don't talk about the pros and cons of the product.
But your review covers everything one needs to know about the product. You also don't rabbit on about irrelevant rubbish, like your husband's dodgy tummy or his bunions!
So a big THANK YOU for your fantastic review ! Subbed !
+Cherry Metha Lol to the bunions, yuck!! Thanks so much for the positive comments! It's all the wonderful viewer feedback that keeps the channel going :)

That was an excellent review and instructions on the food processor. I just got mine and this was so helpful, more so than any of the other reviews I’ve seen. Thank you so much! 🤩
Glad it was helpful 😀
This is an excellent video. I just bought this and the parts and assembly were a little confusing since I've never owned a food processor. You made this very clear and easy to understand. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful, Jonathan!
Have you figured out a way to clean the hollow handles? I've tried using a pipe cleaner but there seems to be a gritty, sandy residue that collects especially in the corners. Called Cuisinart but they were no help.
@@vickigranacher3357 If you use a dishwasher the grit comes from the DW tablets. It is an abrasive cleaning aid.
I prefer the manual versus the electronic buttons. This is a beautiful unit and a great tutorial!
😁
Great video. I have used an older beige coloured model of the same series for over 5 years in a commercial kitchen and it never let me down! Best product ever at its price point!
Thanks for sharing, Andrew 😀
Thank you for your thorough review. This food processor rated number 1 in Americas test kitchen. It was very precise in their testing. Thanks again
Perfect review. You showed every detail. All the other reviews I watched already had the work bowl on the unit and left it up to me to try to discover the the proper way to get going. Your instructions made it simple for a first time user to use this food processor. It takes a certain talent to give instructions so that someone who has never used a food processor can do so without searching for other information.
+oldcar85 Thank You so much for the wonderful comments 😀
She really is great !
Outstanding review. I just ordered one. Can't wait.
Thanks! 😀
This was a great little video for starting to use a food processor for the first time. My husband just bought this processor for me, and I can't wait to dive in and have some fun. Keep up the good work with your video reviews!
Thanks for the wonderful comments, Mary 😀
What a helpful video! I've been considering purchasing this food processor, and this demo was just so informative. Yep, I'm getting this one!
👍😀
Just purchased it, barely learning how to cook and was looking for a review. Amazing review thank you!
Thanks, Claudia 😀
Good luck,save the receipt,it may go to crap soon enough(like 2 of them did!!!!!)
just took mine out of basement (been there 10 yrs) to clean up to sell. went to this video to make sure I had all the parts. But after watching this, I am keeping mine. THANK YOU!
👍
Super well-done demo! Clear audio, well-edited, and succinct. I'd love to see more recipes using this food processor. Can it also do bread dough?
wonderful demo. I love how you edit this video to be concise but covers a whole lot of practical uses. I like how you struggled with some food items, this is great to know. Real honest review.
Thanks so much!
Thanks for this fantastic review! I bought this food processor and now feel more confident in using it.
Great to hear!
I absolutely love what this food processor does! To top it all off I love the fact that the motor is quiet and Low pitched. A lot of food processors out there that I have seen have Motors that sound absolutely terrible! The Cuisinart 14 cup food processor is the bee's knees because it does not bother my ears one bit. This is one of the best videos I have seen so far with this favorite food processor of mine, because the demo was very simple and I love the fact that this food processor does not bother me and is a time-saver. The only drawback about it, is that I don't have enough kitchen space to have the exact same kind of food processor that I would like to own, which is this particular Device. I hope that when I do get this particular kind of food processor, that it will not bother me while using it, because I do have sensitive hearing due to my eyesight. Thank you for having this video available.
Hey, thank you so much for this video. I am currently learning a lot about health & food and how to prepare it right etc. I was given the CuisinArt and was hoping for a "learning by watching" that can give me an idea what all i can do with this. Your video was perfect. Thank you so much for taking your time and uploading!
+Amanda Young Thanks Amanda, glad the video was helpful :)
So many people don't know when to stop when making pie crust in a food processor... you demonstrated it perfectly
👍😀
Thank you for this! I just bought this appliance and was trying to figure out how to use it. The instructions weren't very clear, so this was very helpful!
Hi Susan, glad you found the video helpful :)
Susan Shepherd a
This was the best video on the 14 cup cuisine food processor. The manufacturer video did not answer my questions.Thank you for the clear and concise explanations.
😀👍
Thank you. I just purchased this equipment and your video is perfect!
Thanks, Elise 😀
So thankful for this video! I finally got a food processor and this was so helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
I bought one of these and they are cutting edge. Changes cooking for me 100%
Completely agree! Thanks for sharing 😀
Amazing review, very detailed and calming to watch :) Thank you!
Thanks 😊
Great video ! Very in depth and lots of examples and great recipes. Love it
😁👍
Thanks, just brought the Cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor and looked at this video before use. your examples are perfect.
👍
Thank you for this excellent review. As everyone else has said, you are clear, you don't rush,or get off subject, and you areexplain how to do everything that you show. A lot of product reviewers could take lessons from you!
Thanks so much for the kind words 😁
Awesome review. The kind of review that every TH-camr should do. Extremely thorough and detailed. Thank you so much ❤
Thanks for the wonderful comment 😁
loved loved this video you helped me decide to buy this food processor
Happy to hear it, Lydia 😀
great and informative video,4 years later ..thanks
The hummus looks beautiful especially. Great review & you always make me hungry :D.Thank you for the great review + bestkitchenreviews
Thanks, Carol :)
Actually, the small pusher has a small hole in the bottom that is specifically for adding liquids in an even stream mid process. This is easier, and less messy, when adding liquids, especially to flour and other light, powdery ingredients.
I've had this processor a while now and like it's powerful motor. We're only a two person household, so only use large amounts of food occasionally, however I find even small amounts of food are processed as evenly as larger amounts. Hardly ever bother with my 3 cup mini processor anymore.
Thanks for this!
It is the best food processor in my opinion. I've had one for years.
Fantastic review, thanks!
Glad you liked the review :)
Great Demo. This is exactly what I needed to know. Now I can purchase one.
Hi, glad the video helped! Please subscribe if you haven't already :)
From the Bahamas 🇧🇸 thanks sooo much for preparing and sharing this video!! Your demo is better than Amazon’s and that’s where I bought mine from😉😉😉. Appreciate you 🙏
😁👍
Best demonstration I've seen for this processor! Thanks
You’re welcome! 😀
Ordered this one last night as I've been on the fence about the style not changing. Had a Cuisinart for years and when it died bought Wolfgang Puck processor which worked great for the last 20 years and now having problems I bought a kitchenaid a few weeks ago and was surprised at how light it is and the buttons are so hard to push. Pretty doesn't mean versatile. It is going back. Watching the video demo last night was so telling for me. Thanks again!
Thanks for sharing 😀
Thank you for this awesome review.
Great review, thanks
Glad to find out how to use this machine with the attachments. There weren't instructions in the booklet and the website doesn't have videos so this was great to find YT instructions.
Very professional
Video and you cover so much . Thank you
I have never used a food processor before & just purchased this one. This video was so helpful for me. Thank you so much & I appreciate all the info.
+Susie Sac Hi Susie, I'm so glad the video helped you! Please subscribe if you haven't already :)
Great review. I have the more expensive Breville Sous Chef 12 Plus. One bonus is it comes with a mini bowl for doing smaller batches. As a bachelor I find it very handy. But this Cuisinart is also a good machine and you showed that very well. I also learned some tips in the process.
Thanks for sharing 😁
Best explanation I have found. Thank you ever so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for another excellent review. I've read that this particular model from Cuisinart is one of the most popular small appliances in a kitchen. (My mother had the same green & white Corel dinnerware that you have.)
You’re welcome! Those plates are my Mom’s 😁
Thank you for this very educational video. It was done very well! Had to dispose my Braun 2 cup food processor after so many years. Why they discontinue good items is beyond me. Anyway, can't wait for my kitchen toy to arrive. :-)
I made the hummus, it was awesome! Thanks.
Great Review I just got mine from the goodwill and didnt know how to work it until your video thanks again.
You’re welcome 😀
Great review video! Can't wait to get going with mine
+Juan Su Thanks :)
Excellent demo! Even the instruction book didn't have all the information you gave. Thank you!
😀👍
Excellent review. I'm interested in buying a cusinart on Black Friday. This has convinced me that I've chosen the right product and it's shown me how to properly use it. Excellent review
Thanks Yolanda, it's wonderful to hear such positive comments! Glad this video helped you chose. Please subscribe if you haven't already :)
Thanks so much! Much more informative than the materials that came with the machine.
Hi Alesia, glad you found the review helpful. Please subscribe if you haven't already :)
I couldn't figure out how to attach the slicing and shredding blades to the stem until watching your video... thanks so much!!!
+Kirsten Mangold Glad the video helped, Kirsten :)
A great review. Thank you very much!
Excellent review!
This is a wonderful video and superb quality! I just received this model as a birthday gift from my sweet wife and this video makes me even more excited to get started. Thank You!
Glad you liked it 👍😀
Few things make me so happy in the kitchen. Then they introduce you to this machine and you fall in love like your first high school crush.
i sat there and watched the whole video, i m not even looking for a food processor lol, i still dont know how i got here lol. maybe i need 1 i guess lol
Mayco’s Mind i think u liked her narrative
😂
Did you ever get one? 😀
@@fatdanios I did!
Thank you for your reviews. They are perfect. :)
😀👍
Really Really great review!!!
Thanks for taking the time to provide a good basic skills lesson. Good for a newbie like me on using a food processor.
Glad the video was helpful :)
Great demo. Thanks!
You're welcome, glad you liked the video :)
Just got this one for My Christmas present.Always wanted on. I get a ham for Christmas from work and will make deviled ham this year never did before cause it would take forever to chop up that much ham.
Robert Hanan yum! My mother-in-law makes bologna salad with the slightest sweet pickle relish and mayo. Onion if u want. Delicious.
I'm thinking of purchasing a food processor. Your video was very helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful 👍😀
Now if only Cuisinart would make a bowl/lid assembly that doesn't break every year. They built this very powerful, durable motor unit, and paired it with a bowl that has fragile bits that are easy to break off, rendering the whole thing unusable until you shell out $60 for a replacement. And the price goes up every year.
Exactly. Between the useless pamphlets and videos and the flimsy parts, it’s got to be the string motors that keep people buying these ones.
Great review!!!Thank you
Brilliant Video!! Thank you for explaining everything, I'm a lot more confident.
😀
Thank you! This is very helpful!
Great!
Great review and demo!!
Thanks 😀
Absolutely excellent video. Wonderful and clear.... your video was better than the video on the product site. I stayed and watched the whole thing. You are an exceptional presenter!
Thank You 😊
Clear and concise. Well done.
😀👍
Thank you, This review was helpful.
😀
Was hesitant because it's about $100 more than I want to spend but at 6:10 you had me sold
Excellent video. I am considering buying a Cuisinart food processor and this was very helpful. thanks.
+ejhickey Thanks! Glad it was helpful 😀
Wonderful review!!!!
I really want one, great review
😀
It's always a wise move to unplug the processor before inserting or changing blades.
You explained every detail very nicely.
Couldn't have said it better myself--a year earlier.
