too spicy -- but there you have it.

It should come as no surprise to anyone that our top pick in this category is a Cuisinart food
Chip, because that brand is a leader in our full-size category as well. The Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus
Food Processor (Est. $35) is a terrific little machine, and in at least one expert test it out-performs
It's a 3-cup capacity and can chop and grind foods with the best

Like all the Cuisinart food processors in this report, this model isn't affected by the Cuisinart recall.
Another small food processor that gets good reviews from both experts and owners is the Ninja
It's really sort of a cross between a blender and a food
Processor, but Ninja classifies it as a food processor, so we've done the exact same here.

these small food processors. We don't, and we explain why further down this page. However the
Ninja really does chop -- and it mixes, blends and processes. The set includes three jars of different
sizes 48 ounces, 40 ounces and a 16 ounce chopping bowl, plus lids, blades and splashguards for
each of them. The reason it makes it into this small food processor category is due to that 2-cup

these manual choppers by both experts and owners. It's decidedly low tech, you place herbs, nuts or
