It is no secret that food processors have become essential small appliances in many of today's residential kitchens. This is because they offer a number of features and functions that exceeds the number of tasks that most other small appliances can perform. They can be found in colors and styles that will match the decor in any kitchen, and they can have countless different settings and features. They can also be found in several different prices ranging from very inexpensive to highly priced. The price greatly depends upon the size and number of available features. Most home cooks prefer to find a unit that balances a reasonable price with a large number of options. For them, the Cuisinart DFP 3 Handy Prep 3 Cup Food Processor is the perfect choice.

The 3 cup Cuisinart Handy Prep processor has several different features. It comes with a bowl with a 3 cup capacity, but it also comes with an ejector disc that allows for ingredients to be directed out of the machine via the handy chute attachment. This means that the machine is actually capable of processing much greater quantities than just 3 cups without the need to stop and empty the bowl. It comes with a slicing disc, chopping and mixing blade, and a medium shredding dish. These different blades can be used to slice, dice, chop, and mix, and they can also be used for kneading dough, which is a feature that most smaller food processors are not equipped with. This processor also includes a spatula and handy instruction guide complete with detailed directions and recipes.

Cuisinart's Handy Prep mini food processor is ideal for anyone who regularly prepares food in small batches. It can also be used for chopping or slicing small amounts of ingredients for larger recipes. Although the Handy Prep is small, it is packed with all the power and features of a much larger processor. It also comes with all the same advanced safety features as well as a 3 year manufacturer's warranty. Whether the Cuisnart Handy Prep 3 cup processor is your first food processor or you are purchasing it in addition to a larger model, you will not be disappointed.
