Want fast slaw or pesto? Cuisinart will help This Cuisinart food processor makes fast work of shredding vegetables, making pesto, and many other tasks. Its safety features protect the user from the fast moving blades because it will not turn on unless the top is locked in place. It can be a bit hard to unlock for removal. It runs either steadily or in burst mode by pressing the button. The parts can all be washed in the dishwasher. It comes with a blade and two sizes of shredding disks. It has been reliable in all the years I've used it.
