GE 12-Cup Food Processor Only $69 Shipped on Amazon (Regularly $129)

I had a ten-cup processor that I had used for ~15 years that was still going, but not in good shape at all. I had broken off the safety thing and had to hold one hand wedging it in to be able to run it, and it also had a slight leak if you let it get too full in recent months, but it worked. I use these things probably weekly which doesn’t sound like much, but when I use it I tend to use it for hours making bulk stuff to can or freeze. Buying this new 12-cup one really changed my world! Plus I love that it has the smaller footprint on my counter. I have just left it out instead of putting it down in the lower cabinets. Also, it does still fit under the upper cabinet, so you can push it back out of the way or open the cabinet doors with no issues.

I cannot believe that I waited so long to replace that hunk of junk that I was using before. If you are on the fence, I suggest jumping in and giving it a try. If you have never had a processor, it will amaze you with how many things it can do to reduce your time spent chopping and blending. I have only had it for a couple of weeks, and I have not yet even tried the smaller inset chopper feature, but I love it so far. I have filled my freezer with hummus and made a couple of jars of peppers to ferment for hot sauce already. Funny thing: A friend asked if she could have my old one because she had never had a processor. I expect her to upgrade pretty soon because she cooks a lot more than I do! If you want to enjoy your time in the kitchen more, I think you need one too!
