Comments: Here’s the tough part about choosing a Cuisinart food processor: size. You could get a Elite Collection Chopper/Grinder ($36 to $66) with a four-cup capacity (pictured) or go for the full size deluxe 12-cup size ($211). They even have a 20-cup option for a mere $700. So which is best? It depends.
If you want to make baby food in big batches and/or you think you’ll use it later for other cooking, bigger makes sense. If you want a smaller capacity to make small batches and think you’ll mostly use it later for chopping onions and such, the small four cup ones make sense.
For those who can’t make up their minds, Cuisinart’s Elite Collection 12-cup processor ($211, model FP-12DC) also comes with a smaller 4-cup bowl. Cuisinart gets high ratings across the board for their products. There is no information on BPA content in Cuisinarts, but as long as you aren’t heating the plastic, that shouldn’t be an issue.

Cuisinart makes Cuisinart Baby.. it is a steamer and chopper on one. It so far has been excellent. It has a 4 cup capacity, does everything in one. It cost me 121 on Amazon and I had a coupon so I paid 111 and free shipping.
