- Is the 0.75-cup bowl big enough?
- It handles a handful of garlic, herbs or nuts at a time. For pesto or salsa for more than one or two people, you will need to work in batches.
- Can I use it in the US?
- It is rated 220V, so it will not run safely on standard US 120V outlets without a step-up transformer. Check your local voltage before buying.
- Does it chop nuts?
- Yes. The 800 W motor and stainless steel blade handle almonds, walnuts and similar nuts, though pulse in short bursts to avoid turning them into paste.
- How does it compare with a full-size food processor?
- It is smaller, cheaper to run and easier to store, but it lacks the feed tube, discs and capacity of a full-size processor. It is a companion appliance, not a replacement.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- The bowl and blade are best washed by hand to protect the blade edge and plastic. Check the manual for the parts the maker lists as dishwasher safe.
- What can it not do?
- It cannot slice, shred or knead dough. It chops and purees small quantities only.
- Where is the Black & Decker CG 800 W Mini UTC Food Processor cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $38.99, as of our latest check.
