The food processor is something I didn’t realize I needed until I did. Over the years I have had a few processors and never really used them. But as I became a little more adventuresome, I realized that I needed both a processor and a good one. It is spacious and about as much of a surprise as one could want. It even kneads dough! And the bread from that dough was excellent. But it is also so diversified that it only took minutes to mix a a pesto sauce fit for a king or queen as the case may be. It is smartly designed with safety in mind. Most importantly, it is as easy to use as it is to clean.
