That is right at the top of my list of reasons for not using my food
processor more often. For small jobs I usually find a good knife much
easier. I can usually have things chopped up by hand in less time than it
takes to get the machine out of the cupboard and assembled.

I have used it twice in the last week, much more often than I usually do. I
had a bunch of stale bread and threw them in to make bread crumbs. The
other day we were having leftover roast chicken and my wife was curious
about making mayonnaise. I offered to show her how, and pointed out that
the hardest and most time consuming part of the job was cleaning the FP.
