I have a Cuisinart which was a gift, I didn't pick it out. It is not easy
to clean, but will be when Jack (Kay's husband) files away the so-called
safety mechanism for me (which he also did for Kay.) Unless I have to chop
a boatload of onions or something, though, I just use my chef's knife for
chopping tasks. I rarely use the Cuisinart except for the few times I need
it for pureeing, and even then, I am more likely to use my 'stick' blender.
So basically, the Cuisinart just take up counterspace. Must be time for a
garage sale ;-)

Aside from the chef's knife, I also love my Benriner for slicing which I
keep on a hook right above my chopping board. My mother also gave me a
mandoline which is capable of thicker slices than the Benriner but is bigger
and more cumbersome to deal with than the Benriner.
