I received the Cuisinart Custom Prep-11 cup for my birthday last year.
I'm very pleased with it. My mom bought it at Costco, and it came in a
package with a second bowl, three slicing/grating blades,a separate dough
blade, a blade holder, and a Lydia Bastianich cookbook. This package was
cheaper than a 7-cup model she had purchased on sale elsewhere that
didn't have any of the extra 'goodies' that came with the Costco version.

I'm totally unfamiliar with the KitchenAid processor so can't comment on
that.

If "the wife" wants a new food processor (and if "the wife" is the one who
uses it) why doesn't "the wife" decide?

If my husband ever referred to me as "the wife" I'd decide which processor
to get but he'd end up in it.

Cuisinart.

What I love about Sheldon:

You never know when he'll pop in and crack you up.

Here I was, just browsing through the newsgroup. I read Buck's message,
and hit the button to go to the first reply. I fully expected to get
somebody who wuld give an opinion that I would file away in the back of
my head for later, if/when I am in the market.

Instead, I get Sheldon unloading, in an explicit, profane manner. It
just cracks me up.

Keep up the good work, Shel.

Where did you get that? He's obviously a KitchenAid man. Can't you
read?

Sad thing is, many people who use it think it's "cute" rather than
objectifying.

Up there with The little woman. Grrr.

At any rate, I doubt many people have experience with both ... who
goes out and buys two different food processors so they can really
give an opinion one way or another. I'm happy with my Cuisinart.
Perhaps consumer reports has rated them in the near past?

Fine Cooking did a test and Cuisinart edged out KitchenAid by the slimmest
margin. However, the KitchenAid comes with more attachments (different
kinds of discs) and a mini-bowl. Consider what you'll be using it for
most--if you might be using it for small batches then the KitchenAid might
be a better buy for you because of that mini-bowl.

Can't give you a comparison. I went with the Kitchenaid Professional - I've
been pleased with it and I particularly like the mini bowl which is just
right for making mayo.

This subject has been discussed ad nauseum here and at the equipment
newsgroup.

Try a Google search using your subject header in quotes on their "groups"
section and read the previous posts for some comprehensive info.

They are both equally great machines. Either one will do the job and last a
very long time, perhaps you will never need to buy another. But only YOU
can decide which is the "better" machine.

They do each have different features. One has a very large feed tube, the
other, a mini-bowl. Both are helpful features. If I could get both features
in the same machine, that'd be the machine to buy. But since I couldn't, I
chose the one with the large feed tube. I have never once felt an ounce of
buyers remorse, wishing I had the other one.

Evaluate what you will use it for, how and what you cook, and look at each
machine.

Buy the one that will best accomodate your needs.

evidently you didn't use the proper term to satisfy these people buck. i say
****em'. there are tons of microcultures around the world, with tons of
colloquial expressions. i've heard that term to used before and there was no
disrespect intended.

Sheldon mirrored my reaction to Buck's "the wife"
statement... except he said it and I didn't. Who was more
insensitive, Buck or Sheldon? I say Buck.

As far as Sheldon's "profanity"... he was restrained and
exhibited self-control in this situation, IMO.

Buck may be a perfectly nice guy who has a computer unsavvy
wife and is trying to do her a favor, but he sounded like a
real clod. Here's a word of advice to Buck: If you don't
want to be roasted in rfc... please try not to use "the"
wife again.

"My" wife is acceptable terminology.

Woooo. I replaced my original model Cusinart 6 + years
ago... I sure would love another bowl, but what I want more
is the domed lid that I had (a separate purchase) with the
DLC 9. It was sooo easy to make dough with that domed lid!
Even though my bowl is larger now, I can barely make more
than I did before.

We're talking one cup or less, right? I have a separate
mini-bowl processor.... easy to use and easy to clean.

That is just one of Sheldon's hot buttons. He clearly would
never want to offend women in any way, so he always challenges
anyone who uses the expression "the wife." He's a paragon.

Now, in another thread in a different newsgroup there was
a recent discussion about this very topic. It was claimed
that the new Cuisinart machines are not up to the old standard
and that the company that used to make the old Cuisinart (RobotCoupe)
is now making the KitchenAid food processors. I can not vouch
for the accuracy of this claim, just repeating what I heard.
Check out rec.food.cooking.equipment for the original thread.

As a bit of personal experience, we purchased a KitchenAid food
processor about 6 months ago; not the largest model, the mid
sized one. It is used almost daily in the course of candy
making. We chop nuts and other ingredients with no problems.
It's probably a little small for really heavy use, like kneading
bread dough, but for us it handles anything we have needed
to do with it.
