Cuisinart MM-2M Mini Mate Chopper / Grinder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I tried two other small food processors, the KitchenAid Chef's Chopper and the Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus for making two to four servings of pesto, cilantro sauce etc, but pureeing these small amounts of ingredients in the approximately 3 cup work bowls was difficult because the blade throws the ingredients on the sides. Scraping the ingredients down several times helps but the finished product was still not smooth enough.
The MM-2M works much better for making these small amounts of sauces. You still have to scrape the ingredients down once or twice but the puree is much smoother. The blades turn much faster than the other two processors and there are also two speeds. You can reverse the blade holder to choose a blunt or sharp leading edge. The blunt edge works well for pureeing.
The unfortunate drawback to this processor is that the motor housing forms the top of the work bowl. As a result, quite a bit of the finished product ends up coating the end of the motor housing. If you are not extremely careful when cleaning the motor housing you will get water and perhaps food into it. If you're just chopping relatively dry ingredients like coffee or dry spices, this would not be so much of a problem.

Kuhn Rikon Vase Spice Grinder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was searching all over for a spice grinder that would work for grinding my flax seed and other small spices if needed. When I saw that this product was available I instantly pre-ordered it and couldn't wait to get it. As usual, Amazon.com shipped a little before the official date and the item arrived in great condition.
Regarding usage, I love the 3 inserts that it comes with because it allows me to interchange those small spices that I described above without having to dump the previous spice/seed, clean the container, and re-fill it with the new spice/seed to be ground. The only reason I gave it a 4 out of 5 is because the flax seed does seem to get stuck in the little mechanism just slightly and therefore makes it kind of difficult to get a good grind. I have it adjusted so that it grinds the oily flax seed at the finest setting and that seems to do the job. Other than that I have no complaints. Overall, I think it's a great little grinder and the added containers with lids is a great bonus for anyone who has small amounts of multiple spices to grind.
