#BREVILLE SOUSCHEF BLADE PRO#

There is one slicing blade that closes completely for storage and has 8 adjustable slicing positions all controlled by one center dial. It comes with just 2 blades, but they multi-task! The S-blade comes with it’s own safety storage cover so you don’t risk injury when grabbing for it from storage. I also really like the clever and space saving design of the accessories.Īll of the accessories use the same removable stem which slips over the permanent central stem in the center of the work bowl. LOVE that! The center of the work bowl has a permanent central stem so you can fill the bowl for easier washing. Unlike other food processors there is no center hole so when you are ready to clean it you can actually fill it up with soapy water. It is also powerful enough to make my hummus recipe nice and creamy. I use my food processor most often to rice veggies (you can read all about that here), and with just a few pulses celeriac, purple sweet potato and parsnip were riced to a perfect “grain” size. Next I was instantly pleased with it’s power. This just snaps closed with a sleeker locking design and helpful front facing markers to align for closure. It has a sleeker locking mechanism without the small interlocking parts of the cuisinart which were the most common fatigue points for plastic failure. No more wiggling and dancing across the countertop with this baby. Out of the box my first impression was, wow this thing is sturdy.

Just about everything I didn’t like about the Cuisinart Pro Custom 11 it replaced is solved by this Breville model. The design, as well, is attractive enough to keep out on your counter, but it probably wouldn't fit under most standard cupboards.I have had the Breville Sous Chef 12 for about a month now and I am really happy with it. This model is big and heavy, but they do provide you good standard storage options. It also comes with a storage box for the blade/disc attachments, and the discs attachments all have a detachable spindle for easy storage. It is designed with a retractable power cord though, and the small work bowl fits inside of the larger one.

The Breville Sous Chef is huge and requires a lot of space to store. The plastic parts and attachments are dishwasher safe, but Breville advises against washing them in the dishwasher too often because it will 'damage and shorten the life of the plastic.' They advise that you hand wash all of the plastic parts with warm water and a mild detergent. It is challenging to get processed foods out of the spindle mechanism and from around the corners, edges, and seals of the work bowl and lid. However, dough, almond butter, and whipped cream are a different story. With fruits and veggies, it is mostly easy to clean. The same cannot be said for the clean-up. Overall, the assembly of this machine is smooth and easy. Another feature we liked on the Breville was that the work bowls and pushers all have measurements marked on them to make it even easier to use.Ĭredit: Mary Griffin Ease of Set Up and Clean Up In terms of liquid capacity, we found the large work bowl to hold about 5 cups, which should be plenty for most jobs but was less than the Cuisinart Elite Collection 2.0 16 Cup at 7.75 cups. We loved this feature because the little bowl eliminates the need for a separate chopper unit and is very handy for smaller jobs like mincing garlic or parsley. Like the Cuisinart Elite Collection 2.0 16 Cup and the KitchenAid 11-Cup with ExactSlice System, it has two work bowls, one 16-cup bowl and one 2.5-cup bowl. It comes with an array of attachments and features that make it exceptionally versatile. It was also one of the largest, and we felt it was best suited for people who plan on doing big projects. The Breville Sous Chef is one of the most comprehensive and powerful food processors for home use that we tested.
