Changing everything around for change's sake (pure profit) is just maddening. <br /><br />I have a food processor, but rarely use it, though I don't remember it having any complicated features. I'll get it out and see about that. <br /><br />I make pesto in a small 1 cup mini processor. It is super easy. bowl locks in, blades drop in, I jam all the ingredients in, put the lid on and hold the button until done. It's great. What it holds fits exactly into the little plastics that I was getting at the store. They don't make those anymore, of course. Now I'll have to figure out something else.

I used to own a small cooking school and was as passionate about cooking as I am now about fiber. So yes……life without a Cuisinart on the kitchen counter is not conceivable!The Inside Storihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00984299652568523595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-82465023968508698952017-08-07T00:43:19.805-04:002017-08-07T00:43:19.805-04:00My sympathies...I,had to "upgrade" when ...My sympathies...I,had to "upgrade" when mine died and I am not comfortable with my new one.Kay Koeper Sorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03179892338042007284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-89677682958586018812017-08-06T17:46:00.296-04:002017-08-06T17:46:00.296-04:00Just realized that I didn't clarify that I hav...Just realized that I didn't clarify that I have had and will always have a Cuisinart.Marie Spodekhttp://www.mariespodek.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-35250004239047254912017-08-06T17:43:44.852-04:002017-08-06T17:43:44.852-04:00I've updated the model that I got in 1979...as...I've updated the model that I got in 1979...as you do, we loved it...but when I started making the BEST BREAD ever, I managed to wear out the motor.

So new parts it was! That is until this year, it just started falling apart... Luckily A friend gave me hers that she wasn't using!!! <br />But my Sunbeam hand mixer!!!

I think it might still be working because I don't use it as much as you are using yours. There are blades I have never used--one that cut my finger badly back when the machine was new. I even used my Sunbeam in Europe on a transformer.<br /><br />I would get a new one if this one stopped working--but it would be the most basic model. Lets hope that doesn't happen. I tend to not do well with change.

Tang on lid that pushes down to lock machine broke. Now have to hold it in place for machine to run. Looked everywhere for replacement. Found some that looked right, but didn't have matching part numbers. Wrote to Cusinart to see if they would work (sent photo of machine with model/serial number). Their response was, no, but offered coupon for 50% off new machine. Will take more than broken lid for me to give up my Cuisinart.<br />Rena in Everglades CityRenaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17694133583572175527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-64435260041401950452017-08-06T07:42:20.620-04:002017-08-06T07:42:20.620-04:00Check for your model on shopgoodwill.com.
