A workhorse with horsepower. If Paul Bunyan cooked this is what he’d use. It’s tough—could puree a boot. Parmesano Reggiano is a darn hard cheese but was reduced to a wimpering fine powder after a CPPP encounter. I rarely make a meal without the go to grinder.

Most definitely the best food processor out there (at least in my budget range). Cuisinart is handy, easy to clean, and does the job well. Look for bright reds and stainless steel to jazz up the countertop. (via mattmcnally)
