The food processor is simple in design. A spinning blade mounted in a cylindrical mixing vessel chops, or “processes” food inserted through the lid-mounted chute. The base contains the motor and controls, and sits securely on your counter with rubber feet. These days, food processors for the home are available in a variety of sizes, from large, almost commercial models to tiny units no bigger than a travel mug. Many come with a selection of blades to handle a variety of tasks. Chopping, slicing, shredding as well as mixing and pureeing jobs. There are attachments for kneading dough and stirring thick mixtures more effectively than a blender could handle.
The Cuisinart Food Processor was the brainchild of Carl Sontheimer, a retired engineer and physicist with a love of cooking. After witnessing the demonstration of a commercial food processing machine in France, he returned to America determined to manufacture a home version of the machine. The Cuisinart Food Processor made its debut in Chicago in 1973. This product, which was familiar to restaurant cooks but never before available in a size suited for home use, proved to be very popular due to its versatility and range of functions.
Although the Cuisinart Corporation has grown to embrace the manufacture of a variety of kitchen appliances, the food processor is still the flagship of their product line. There are currently around two dozen models available from Cuisinart, encompassing many styles and sizes for the home cook.
