I love to cook. and I come from a family who love cooking. the most time consuming and tedious part of cooking is definitely cutting and chipping. this is why a food processor can help out immensely in the kitchen. the main thing I use The Oster 10-cup food processor for is to dice red onion. I love the taste of red onions, but chopping, dicing or mincing them can literally bring tears to my eyes. This food processor gets it done so quickly, you won't shed a single tear. The Oster is a quality product, and performs just as well as processors that come at higher prices. it's 10 cup capacity is also big enough to handle large meals, such as for the family gathers, or for during those holiday feasts. If anyone I know is ever looking into buying a new food processor that tough jobs in large quantities, but doesn't cost a fortune, I'll definitely recommend the Oster. NOTE: I did receive this food processor from the company at bo charge, if I agreed to review it honestly.
