My mini food processor does a good job of mincing garlic and cutting up
nuts, onions and peppers. I gave my old Cuisinart to a friend and I
replaced it with the latest model. The new one has so many anti-dumbass
safety devices on it, that it is too much trouble to use. It is fine
for other uses like making bread, pie crust, etc., but not for
vegetables. I should have kept my old one.
