The patented auto-reversing SmartPower blade provides a super-sharp edge for the delicate chopping of herbs and for blending and puréeing other soft foods. The blunt edge offers a powerful cutting surface to grind through spices and other hard foods. Pulse activation gives maximum control for precision processing, whether chopping or grinding. Spatula, product manual and recipe booklet included.Using Your Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus ProcessorThe powerful high-speed 250-Watt motor works hard and fast to accomplish any small job with ease. Chop herbs, onions, garlic; grind spices, hard cheese, purée baby foods; blend mayonnaise and flavored butters, all with the same compact appliance. The Mini-Prep Plus Processor takes up minimum counter space and stores neatly on the countertop or in a cabinet.Best Practices When Using Your Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus ProcessorSizeAlways cut large pieces of food into smaller pieces of even size – about 1/2-Inch. If you don't start with pieces that are small and uniform, you will not get an even chop.QuantityYou don’t want to overload the 3-Cup work bowl. Use the quantities given in the included recipe section of the product manual. As a rule of thumb, remember that after being processed, food should not reach more than 2/3 of the way up the central hub of the blade assembly.Selecting the Right Operating ControlUse the Chop function for chopping, puréeing and mixing. It’s the best option, for example, when chopping soft, fragile food such as herbs, celery, onions, garlic and most cheeses. It is also the right choice for puréeing cooked vegetables, making mayonnaise and mixing salad dressing. Pulse action is best when you are using the chop function. Two or three pulses are often enough.Use the Grind function for grinding spices, and for chopping hard food such as peppercorns, seeds, chocolate and nuts. Continuous-hold action is best when you are using the grind function.Adding LiquidYou can add liquids such as water, oil or flavoring while the machine is running. For example, you might want to add oil when making mayonnaise or salad dressing, or you could add vanilla or alcohol when making frozen yogurt. Pour the liquid through one of the two openings in the cover. Removing Food From the Sides of the BowlOccasionally food will stick to the sides of the bowl as you process. Stop the machine to clear food away. After the blade has stopped moving, remove the cover, and use the spatula to scrape the food from the sides of the bowl back into the center.Cleaning and StorageRead to clean up? No problem! To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover, and blade immediately after each use, so that food won’t dry on them. Wash blade assembly, work bowl, cover, and spatula in warm soapy water. If you have a dishwasher, you can wash the work bowl, cover, blade assembly, and spatula on the top rack. The Mini-Prep Plus Processor stores neatly on the countertop in a minimum of space. The hidden cord storage underneath the motor base will help to keep excess cord off the countertop. Store the unit assembled to prevent loss of parts. Easily dice tomatoes in seconds!

Review: This is a must have tool in our kitchen , the first one lasted 15 years or more and is still going strong , the blade housing has developed a crack and that makes it no longer food safe the replacement blade was almost as much as the new one so we just replaced the entire machine ! MUST HAVE MACHINE EXCELLENT VALUE ! Review: Traded up from a little electric chopper to this Cuisinart. It works amazing, and is easy to clean up. Everything can go in the dishwasher too. After having a mini chopper which you could not fit an entire large onion in, this 3 cup capacity makes the job so much easier. The little scrapper/spatula that came with it make scrapping out all the pieces a snap because it is the perfect size. Some of the reviews gave it a low rating because of it did not do what they expected. My comment is: This is a mini food processor, not to be used for items that require a lot of power. Never use any food processor for mash potatoes some people need to learn to cook and read directions. This little guy is great for chopping onions, nuts, mixing things that do not require a very heavy, sticky consistency that causes strain on the motor and cause it to burn out. That's why they make full size food processors that have much stronger motors. I use it for prepping everything, celery & carrots dicing, onions & garlic. Remember this is a chop or grind button. If you want larger pieces be sure to pulse, Do not hold the button down. For the price of this handy gadget it can't be beat. ## Features - Powerful chopper/grinder; chop or grind at the touch of a button - Exclusive auto-reversing smartpower blade feature - Touchpad controls are easy to use and easy to clean; 3-cup transparent bowl with handle - Dishwasher-safe parts; Spatula - Recipe/instruction book; limited 18-month warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005GZ1WLK | | Best Sellers Rank | 2,682,660 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 220 in Full-Size Food Processors | | Brand | Cuisinart | | Colour | Orange | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (24,109) | | Date First Available | 5 Aug. 2011 | | Item Weight | 1.35 kg | | Model Number | DLC-2AO | | Product Dimensions | 14.29 x 24.45 x 20.96 cm; 1.35 kg | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Cuisinart - **Colour:** Orange - **Material:** 1 - **Recommended uses for product:** Chop, Grind - **Wattage:** 250 watts ## Images ![Cuisinart DLC-2AO Mini-Prep Plus Processor, 1, Orange - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/411JmnT6tvL.jpg) ![Cuisinart DLC-2AO Mini-Prep Plus Processor, 1, Orange - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lsXNQcgBL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: is it bra free?** A: Nope, no free "bra". But my wife said if you head over to amazon's womens lingerie, you could find some good deals. Downside, they aren't free either. **Q: Is this fairly quiet or is it noisy? My current machine howls ike a damned soul in torment, which is why it is gathering dust in the cupboard.** A: Many food processors are pretty loud but this one is fairly quiet. I love this machine because it's not so big or heavy and quiet **Q: how do you operate it** A: It is very simple to operate and comes with good instructions. The main thing is to be sure that the lid is locked in place. It will only work with the bowl and lid locked securely in place. There are two speeds: chop and grind. Chop is for softer items and grind is for firmer items. You can also use the grind setting if you want to pulse it once or twice in the opposite blade direction. **Q: Has anyone used this to make something like a pie crust, where you would blend flour and butter into a coarse meal, then add water?** A: The machine is not powerful enough- in fact if you load it over half way with nuts it starts to bog down- I believe you will burn out the motor if you try pie crust. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***R on 2 January 2026* This is a must have tool in our kitchen , the first one lasted 15 years or more and is still going strong , the blade housing has developed a crack and that makes it no longer food safe the replacement blade was almost as much as the new one so we just replaced the entire machine !
