Food processor

I don't have one and want one. Budget is not set, but I am willing to spend some more on it. I am lazy...so recommend yours!

I have a kitchen aid it works well, I don't use it much.

I love my cuisinart.  I have the medium (11 cup) size and I use it for typical food processor stuff, but also for making doughs (especially pie dough) and for slicing/shredding veggies and cheese.

I love my Kitchenaid 12 cup. I had a cheap one before this, and I can really tell the difference

Now is the kitchen aid the one with the attachments you can buy?

My parents got me a Cuisinart one a little while back.  I've only used it once or twice so far, but I'm wanting to use it more and to think of things like this to do with it to save me time/hassle.

I'm pretty sure you are thinking of the mixer.  The processor comes with different blades and different size bowls.  Between my mixer and my salad shooter  I hardly ever use my processor, if I'm making pie I just use an old fashioned pastry blender.  I do get it out when I want to crush crackers, nut, or oats.

You're thinking of the kitchenaid stand mixer but as far as food processors go I currently have a kitchenaid and I used to have a Cuisinart. Between the two I preferred the Cuisinart as it seemed to have a much faster spin speed which resulted in much better textures for things like hummus

I have a cuisinart 7cup and love it. Mine came with a detachable plate for slicing/grating, a plastic dough blade and regular metal blade.

This.

I use mine quite a bit.  Last week I shredded zucchini, sliced cucumbers, and made broccoli pesto.  The little bowl insert is nice because I can use it for small jobs like turning one slice of bread into bread crumbs or making a small batch of pesto.

Penny, I am also all about my pastry blender for dough.

Ahhhh, stupid me, confusing the mixer and the processor.... Thanks for all the suggestions, ladies!
