This food processor is a wonderful kitchen assistant. It was a challenge to separate the lid from the 13-cup food holder. Fortunately, there is a video tutorial. The processor is easy to assemble and even easier to operate. Select the blade, press the button for your rate of speed and add the vegetables. I was in awe of the transformed food.  The processing time varies depending on the item, volume and rate of speed. This gorgeous gadget is a heavy-duty worker yet conveniently sized to fit comfortably on the counter. Processed foods are now a diet staple.
