Hamilton Beach 70580 Duo Plus Big Mouth Food Processor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the 12-Cup Big Mouth® Duo Plus Food Processor for a few weeks now, and it's quickly become one of my favorite kitchen tools. The large 12-cup bowl is perfect when I'm prepping meals in bulk, but I really appreciate the smaller 4-cup bowl for quick tasks like chopping onions or making dressings. The Big Mouth chute is a huge time-saver—I can throw in whole fruits or veggies without much prep, which is a big deal when I'm in a rush. The touchpad controls are super easy to use and clean, and the different speed options give me enough control for whatever I'm making. I've tried everything from slicing veggies to making hummus, and it handles most tasks with ease. Occasionally, I do have to stop and scrape down the sides, but it's a minor inconvenience. Overall, it's powerful, versatile, and perfect for someone like me who likes cooking but doesn't want to spend forever on prep. It's definitely worth it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have found the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Duo Plus Food Processor to be an essential and versatile upgrade to my kitchen arsenal. Its solid construction and multiple blades and bowls helps tend to complicated projects. Having two bowls is a welcome feature for working with complicated recipes. I appreciate its safety locks that prevent my trying to use it before it's fully secured. The large and small food pusher are nice features to help add to the bowl contents mid-cycle and the the Lo, Hi, and Pulse buttons give you complete control. I have found the reversible slicing/shredding disc to be a big time saver over the traditional 4-sided manual hand graters. As a large test of its strength, we used the mixing blade to mince some thick chicken and light parsley to make our own chicken nuggets. Some of the enclosed video and photos shown various stages of the project, to help you anticipate how it might work in your own kitchen. The instruction booklet offers plenty of advice, including the opportunity to register your product through a QR code and be entered in a draw for their website. A simple reminder is to always wipe down the upper portion of the Motor Shaft to avoid any potential cross contamination if you are using raw meats. This has been a welcome addition to our family kitchen and I hope it can help your culinary adventures too!
