Cuisinart Complete Chef Cooking Food Processor

One Machine To Cook An Entire Multicourse Meal

The must-have kitchen appliance in European and Australian households isn’t an Instant Pot, a Vitamix blender, or even a gleaming KitchenAid stand mixer—it’s a Thermomix all-in-one kitchen machine. These gadgets look like food processors and are equipped with heating elements and a plethora of attachments for stirring, steaming, kneading, measuring, weighing, grinding, and more. The promise is bold: one machine to replace every small appliance in your kitchen. These machines have been embraced in the kitchens of Michelin-starred restaurants such as Noma, El Bulli, and the French Laundry.

"Worth its weight in gold for the practical cook who wants to feel confident about putting good food on the table."

Cuisinart’s answer to the Thermomix all-in-one machine is terrific, both as a food processor (plus dicer) and as a multipurpose mixing and cooking machine. We enjoyed excellent results whether we cooked our own recipes or followed several of the 200-plus step-by-step recipes Cuisinart built in for everything from grains to vegetables to main dishes to desserts. Its only flaw was that it wasn't able to puree the kale, juice, and pineapple into a creamy, thick smoothie, leaving it thin and chunky, even when we tried a few different approaches. In all other ways we found it very easy to use; simple to assemble and handle, with intuitive controls; and easy to clean, whether by hand or in the dishwasher (all parts except the motorized base are dishwasher-safe). We also appreciated that its workbowl is made of sturdy stainless steel. We didn’t really want to part with this handy machine when testing was done.
