Description

Once you try it, you'll never want to cook again without the handy Cuisinart Mini-Prep® Plus Processor by your side. Designed for daily kitchen duty, this processor is small in size but mighty in performance! The all-in-one SmartPower blade spins in one direction to chop ingredients; tap the touchpad control and it automatically reverses to grind nuts and spices. This same blade can also puree soups, and it emulsifies to make salad dressing, mayonnaise, and a countless array of other sauces. The work bowl holds up to 3 cups and features a built-in handle; a custom spatula is included to clear the work bowl in one clean sweep so you don't lose a single morsel. Best of all, the work bowl, blade, and spatula are all dishwasher safe, making the Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus Processor an even more convenient addition to your kitchen.

Q: Can this make nut butters?

    Bought to chop nuts and does a good job with this. Tried to chop cabbage and carrots for slaw. It basically pureed both on the chop mode. Not very pleased with this. The other option is grind, which would not work for either. It's got good power, so we'll see what else we can use it for.

    Great little processor. Just right for one person meal prep. Easy to use and easy to clean up. Doesn’t take up a lot of counter space. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase.

    Bad design

    The cover has a very small opening for adding liquids when processing. A medicine type dropper is needed, the opening is so small. I tried adding olive oil using a small measuring cup with a small pouring spout. Even adding it very slowly it was very messy. Would not buy this model again.

    Plastic on the blade of my mini food processor was cracked, but, model # wasn’t listed in the recalls. I’ve purchased a new unit, hoping plastic part that holds will hold up better this time.

    I bought two Oster Minis, one for home and one for our lake house. We do not eat processed food so making dishes from scratch can be labor intensive. The mini food processor is an ideal time saver.

    I absolutely love my mini chopper! It’s the perfect size for handling 1-2 cups of ingredients. One of the best things I’ve enjoyed about this mini chopper is its versatility. It chops nuts, shreds cooked chicken, and blends ingredients for fresh salsa in seconds. Cleanup is also a breeze. Most parts are dishwasher-safe, and the compact design makes storage simple If you’re looking for a small but efficient food processor for everyday kitchen tasks, I highly recommend it.
