This is the perfect size. I wondered how it would be to chop pistachios for my favorite cookie recipe. And it did great! Maybe I will make the cookies more often now that the pistachios are much easier to chop. And I could not believe how easy it was to clean! From start (taking the processor out of the box) to chopping, to the end (cleaning, drying, and putting back in the box) it only took me less than 10 minutes.
