This was my first experience using this caliber food processor.  I have definitely been missing out.  When I say this is a cook's dream.  This food processor is huge and it is powerful.  I wanted to chop up a chicken to make Chicken Rotel Spaghetti.  The Cuisnart Core 10 Cup process did what takes me about 30 minutes to do by hand in 1 to minutes.  If you like making things from scratch which usually require a lot of chopping and shredding this is simply a must have.  I can't wait to bring it out during the holidays.  This will make cooking a breeze.
