I'm home alone (at least as alone as you can be with three Labs and a Golden), it's rainy and I'm bored. So, I thought I would revisit the lil Cuisinart.
It's been what, a couple of months? I've used the machine at least a dozen, probably closer to two dozen times so far. Long story short, I still like the machine.
I still manage to over process with it far more than I'd like. It takes a more gentle touch than my bigger FP. Obviously, not the machine's fault but my own.
A few days ago, I finally had the opportunity to test out the little holes in the lid while making mayonnaise for some ham salad. It went a bit slower than pouring the oil down the feed tube of the full sized food processor, but it did get the job done.
Cleaning has been a snap. The machine looks like it did the day it came out of the box. The bowl and lid are showing no signs of frosting or clouding yet. The only place that's proven to be a bit of a challenge to keep clean is where the blades attach to the spindle on the blade unit. A light scraping with the point of a toothpick every few uses seems to take care of that though.
