What can the Cuisinart food processor prepare?

It is designed for tasks such as chopping meat and vegetables for hearty stews and puréeing avocados for guacamole. A durable universal chopping blade handles chopping, while the appliance can also purée ingredients for creamy preparations. The 5-cup capacity is suited to quick food prep, with the bowl’s handle providing a handhold as you work.

• Use it to chop meat and vegetables for stew ingredients.
• Purée avocado for guacamole.

How does the shredding function work?

The reversible disc offers fine and medium shredding options. Switch between the two sides of the disc to choose the shred size for the ingredient or recipe, and feed food through the wide opening at the top of the work bowl. The feed tube is designed to hold plenty of fruit and vegetables, supporting prep without requiring a narrow opening for every ingredient.

• Reversible disc provides fine or medium shredding.
• Wide-mouth feed tube accepts fruit and vegetables.

How do the controls and storage work?

Simple paddle controls put On and Off/Pulse at your fingertips. Use the pulse setting for controlled bursts during food prep, or choose On for continuous operation. When prep is finished, the removable components fit inside the work bowl, and the cord stores at the rear of the base to keep the appliance’s parts gathered together.

• Controls: On and Off/Pulse.
• Removable parts store inside the bowl.
• Cord storage is built into the base.

The Cuisinart FP-5 is suited to home cooks who want one compact appliance for everyday chopping, puréeing and two shred sizes, as well as a storage arrangement that keeps removable parts in the bowl.
