Which Appliances to buy?

[Redrocket]

I am in the market for a decent food processor and spiral cutter. Which are the best choices?

[snoops]

Cuisinart seems to be the FP of choice. Mine is 27 years old and still going strong. Get the larger one. I also have a small, about 1 cup one for small jobs that would not even get caught in the blades of the large one.

I have 2 different spiral slicers. Please check Alissa's store - I'm not sure if she carries them or not?

I ordered the one I use the most from QVC (http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.K7702.desc.Fuller-Kitchen-Solutions-Manual-Vegetable-Curler-Slicer)- it's the best price I found (by far!) - it comes in at $24.45 including S&H. I use it all the time for my zucchini noodles.

I also have Fuller Brush's mandoline (http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.K5662.desc.Fuller-Kitchen-Solutions-VBlade-Mandoline-Slicing-Kit)from QVC - and use it a LOT as well. Good price on it too. (I know you didn't ask about that, but I can't stop myself!).

I second the recommendation of a Cuisinart Food Processor. I've had mine for years and wouldn't want to be without it.

I'll say this though - if I had to replace it, I would take a good look at Kitchen Aid's FP because it has a citrus juicing attachment that looks fantastic. It's also got the big food chute (as does Cuisinart) and that makes a big difference being able to process larger pieces of produce vs. cutting them up smaller for other models.

I got my current Cuisinart at Costco (my neighbor gave me my first Cuisinart when clearing out her garage - yay!) *Ü*

I have the same spiral slicer as DebB and I looooove it! It's like a toy.... I spiralize things just for the fun of it...yams, beets, jicama, carrot, and of course zucchini.
