Question:

I need to replace my KitchenAid Ultra Power food processor. I only cook at home for two people. Can you make any suggestions for me?
— Rose Snyder
Answer:
Well, KitchenAid, the one that you had is actually a pretty good brand. So is the Cuisinart are both, uh, great brands for food processors. The ultra power one, I don't know that brand in particular. Um, but there are different ones that have like different kind of cup sizes. So if you're doing like eight cups versus five cups of something, um, you know, know and you want to kind of keep that in rec uh, in mind for those. I have one where there are different kind of, you know, bases that kind of sit inside of each other, which is great because I can do a cooking demo, take one out and then, you know, start something else back up into it, which is wonderful. But for home use, you don't really need something like that. You're looking for something that's very simple. I would say about a seven to eight cup, um, that has just a spinning blade, maybe an attachment to be able to do some, you know, uh, Julian or to do, um, some other attachments on. It might be nice as well too. But, uh, KitchenAid's a great brand, so it's the, um, you know, there are lots of other brands that are out there like the ninja ones and stuff like that, but just a little bit of research will go a long way on those. I personally use a KitchenAid one. Uh, it works great for me.
