The Cuisinart food processor has been a kitchen staple for decades, famous for its uncomplicated functionality and superior ability to chop, mince, mix, and slice. With dishwasher safe components and chef-approved ease of use, it's not hard to see how it has changed the way people cook. The large feed tube means you can thinly slice or chop up whole vegetables in a flash and the dough blade makes homemade bread or pasta just that much more tempting.

But Cuisinart has proven to offer much more than slicing and dicing over the years, while maintaining the same sense of unfussy quality. Cuisinart Ice Cream Makers are one such example. Making professional-tasting frozen yogurt, soft serve ice cream and sorbet is fast and simple with the Soft Serve Ice Cream maker, and no chemical, salt or ice is required. If old-school ice cream is more your style, the Pure Indulgence line is a fully automatic option that produces 2 quarts of frozen goodness, and can even make some of your favorite frozen drinks in under 25 minutes.

More good bets from this trusted brand include a colorful selection of Smartstick Hand Blenders for smoothies and soups, an indoor Electric Griddle/Grill Combo that will have you cooking hamburgers, paninis, and pancakes year round, and the eco-friendly Green Gourmet Hard Anodized series of pots and pans to refresh your nonstick cookware needs. Other popular and top-rated products to explore are their coffee makers and bar blenders, taking care of your needs from sunrise to sunset.

Cuisinart is recognized as the first name in food processors. Publicly praised upon its inception by legendary chefs James Beard and Julia Child, the brand is now recognized as a leader in food processors and other small kitchen appliances for consumers.

Looking back, it's easy to see why culinary legends like Child and Beard gave Cuisinart their collective stamp of approval. The brand made it possible for non-professional cooks to prepare the ingredients for gourmet creations at home with just one convenient appliance.

Although Cuisinart was introduced to home chefs via its now-famous food processor, the company has expanded its line to include a bevy of other high-quality time-saving products. The company has a penchant for anticipating lasting culinary trends and adapting the technology of professional chef products to the consumer market.

In addition to mixers, blenders and food processors, Cuisinart caters to an increasingly sophisticated public palate by offering specialty items people will use for years to come. Their line of coffee bar-quality coffee makers, grinders and accessories is an example of Cuisinart's dedication to creating long-lasting, easy-to-use gourmet home appliances.

The brand's products not only perform beautifully; they blend seamlessly into today's gourmet home kitchens. Their shimmering stainless steel surfaces complement any kitchen decor, so users can feel good about displaying Cuisinart appliances in plain sight.

For many, "food processor" is synonymous with the Cuisinart name. From ice cream makers and toaster ovens to waffle makers and juicers, however, Cuisinart foresees and fulfills virtually every consumer culinary need. The brand's award-winning designs, commitment to quality and ever-expanding product roster guarantee its place in the small kitchen appliance market for years to come.
