Stick Your Steak
Grilling season is here so fire up the BBQ and get those steaks ready! While red meat provides an amazing amount of protein and iron into your diet, you don’t want to get sick from eating it. Too many people skip using a meat thermometer and ingest their meat undercooked. Just because it looks done doesn’t necessarily mean it is. Eating under cooked meat can result in E.Coli or other bacterias which equal a bad case of food poisoning. Go to www.fsis.usda.gov and download the “Is it done yet?” brochure for more tips and invest in a meat thermometer!

User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Love this Cuisinart
Started using it as soon as it came out of the box. Making pickles is a snap. Wish the
insert to push the cucumbers down was a little larger but I sliced 20 cucumbers in about
5 minutes – made cold slaw in short order. So am very happy to have this machine, esp.
because I am a big gardener and the time saved with this is worth every penny I spent
buying it.
1 Star Disappointed
Looks nice on the counter but performance is hit or miss. Does ok with smoothies, but can take forever to puree & blend ingredients for sauces. I gave it to the Women’s shelter and bought an Oster.
5 Stars Wonderful and quiet
I spent a lot of time researching food processors before I bought this one (due to the price…ouch). I definitely made the correct decision. I’m a vegetarian, so I chop a lot of fruits and veggies every day. This machine is very powerful and never has a problem cutting through anything I put in it. It is also very very quiet. My son and his fiance came over the other day to make relish. They are in love with it too and plan to “steal” it when my back is turned. Another benefit is that the old 7cup food processor blades (that you can get on ebay) fit perfectly. I got the full set and can now cut things as thin as tissue paper, into thick slices, or french fries. Lastly, it handles bread dough very well (although I prefer doing bread dough by hand or by bread machine.)
3 Stars Difficult to use and developed crack
Not recommended. Hard to use and has already developed a crack in the 1st year.
5 Stars Best Food Processor Ever
I bought this food processor for my son and his wife’s anniversary. He is still excited about it. He made homemade peanut butter. He said it is so cool and it takes longer to clean the appliance than it does to chop, grate, slice or anything. They are all enjoying the food he is making and I’m sure my daughter in law likes the break from the kitchen. If you like to experiment in the kitchen and don’t have a lot of time to dice and chop. You will love this food processor. He couldn’t wait unti lI came over to see how efficient it was. Makes a real nice gift.
