KitchenAid® 13-cup Food Processor with ExactSlice™ System Review
I’ve got so much fun over here for you today…I’ve been so excited to give you the chance to win an amazing kitchen appliance!
Recently I got to test out the KitchenAid® 13-cup Food Processor with ExactSlice™ System and I have to say I’ve rediscovered my love of the food processor. Anything that cuts down on my kitchen prep time makes me happy!
Here’s my review:
When my sleek, white KitchenAid food processor arrived at my door, I took one look at it and knew I was going to love this appliance. It’s sturdy, and stylish. And it comes with a number of different blades for chopping, slicing, pureeing, grating…you name it. And one of the best parts? It comes with a storage container for all of these attachments. Now that is thinking…how many of you have food processor attachments spread out around your kitchen? I know I did…that’s one of the things that annoyed me most about our old processor! So I was pretty impressed to see that this new KitchenAid model came with a container to store everything needed to use it. Genius.
I found this food processor very easy to assemble and use. After using it several times, it made me realize just how much time I could save during food prep! Where was this when I made my Dill Scalloped Potatoes?! I am so impressed with how fast it slices, but I especially love that I can adjust the slicing thickness with a simple lever found on the outside of the appliance, all without having to remove the blade or turn off the food processor. This was the first time when using a food processor that I could actually have food sliced at the thickness I wanted!
So to get a really good feel for this food processor I wanted to try slicing really delicate fruits like strawberries and kiwis. I wanted to see how it handled foods like this that you might not think about putting through a food processor. And wow was I impressed! I always thought of food processors as kitchen tools you would mainly use for slicing potatoes and other root vegetables, and never delicate fruits. Boy was I wrong. This processor sliced through all my strawberries and kiwis in record time, and at precise widths. I was pretty amazed. This got me thinking of all the ways I could use this processor…I could use it to slice fruits & vegetables, make salsas, sauces, doughs, and even desserts. Best multi-purpose kitchen tool ever.
I am really enjoying my new food processor, and have used it for several recipes already! My most favourite recipe thus far is a tart I made…I used my food processor to make the crust, the pastry cream and the fruit topping. The prep time for this was so quick…I had a tart crust ready in 30 seconds! Amazing! Here’s a little teaser of my food processor made tart!
Stop by this post where I’m sharing the full recipe – it’s too good to miss!

Disclosure: KitchenAid Canada provided me with a KitchenAid® 13-cup Food Processor with ExactSlice™ System for review, at no cost to me. But like always, the opinions expressed here are my own. This really is a fantastic food processor!
Hmmm… I’d probably start with homemade hummus:)

It would be a pie. Since my old food processor died I haven’t made many pies, as making a pie crust in the food processor is so much easier.next would be the flan, yum!
I love using my food processor to make falafel. If I win, I’d give this to my sister, and I’m pretty sure she’d make salmon cakes or cole slaw. first.
(Oops, just realized this is only open to Canadians. My sister’s husband is Quebecois — you could send it to his mom if I win. 😉 Good luck to all the legitimate entrants.)
Pesto
Coleslaw
I’d make pastry for a pie!
I’d make pesto!
that fruit tart looks amazing. It would great to use it to make salsa this summer too!
I have a small food processor of a different brand that I use all the time. I’ve been saying for awhile that I want to upgrade and this one would be fantastic! I would have to try that fruit tart once you share the recipe!
