I had a big glass container blender that I gave away. It took up too much storage space for my infrequent use and was heavy getting in and out of my cabinet. This blender is lightweight but very powerful. It ground up ice cubes into a fine slush in about 10 seconds. There were no chunks left, like my old blender did. The size of the container is plenty big enough and because it is plastic the whole unit is lightweight and easy for me to store. It also leaves a much smaller footprint so it is also easy to keep on my kitchen counter under my overhead cabinets. I was a little skeptical about the quality of this blender being made with plastic, but took a chance because it was a reputable brand. I am so glad I did because I love this blender.

I bought this exact machine and photo below at a thrift store brand new however it didn't have a freezer Bowl. Ordered this one from cuisinartoutlets.com fit and work great. However, if you are using this type of machine or Bowl the instruction says to only to mix your ice cream mixture for 12 minutes an ice cream machine.. even though the ball was frozen over night it still takes a bit longer. As I was making this ice cream for my family for dessert 12 minutes was not long enough more like 30 minutes. The soft serve ice cream came out perfect taste amazing highly recommend this bowl however freeze overnight. If you're making ice cream for a large family or friends in a 24 hour. You will need a Second Ice Cream Bowl!

The coffee pot is beautiful and goes great in my kitchen. But it is pretty clear that Cuisinart doesn't make their products as good as they used to. My old Cuisinart coffee maker/grinder lasted about 8 years. It still brews, but the grind button stopped working. So, I ordered this one. We immediately noticed it was made "cheaper" than the older model. The new one aesthetically look great and works just fine too. But within a week the stainless side panel is already popping out. We also noticed the no-drip carafe definitely DOES drip. Always spills a little bit onto counter while pouring. Going to keep it and hope the side panel doesn't get worse. 🤞🏻 My Cuisinart food processor from the 80's is still holding up great, so I have a little hope! I included pic of panel and of new model vs old model.

Let me start by saying that I am no stranger to pressure cookers and I take extremely good care of all my appliances. I've only owned this newer Cuisinart a little over a month. It is supposed to be the "New and Improved" model replacing the older model Cuisinart. it may be new, but It is NOT improved! I have had my older Cuisinart for over 10 years with no issues. It still has the original stickers on it and it is still working great. Reluctantly, I purchased this newer version from cuisinartoutlets.com using gift cards from my children wanting to update to the newer cooker. What a mistake that was! This newer version after 2 uses started spewing liquid and steam out of every crevice severely burning my hand and arm. The first time I used it I found it hard to clean since you cannot detach the lid on the newer model. It is built cheaper and lid is very flimsy. Why a company would take a perfect product and decide one day to change it in the name of "New and improved" actually making it worse is beyond me! Thankfully cuisinartoutlets.com said they will issue a refund since I've only had it 38 days. My advice would be to steer clear of this "New and Improved" pressure cooker.

I like this item overall for use on my gas range. Easy to clean, large enough for a breakfast for four to cook all at once. But it doesn’t distribute heat very well on my particular range, which is 36 inches and six burners. A lot of the heat ends up going to the handles, and there’s a gap between the burners that stays too cool. But if your burners are slightly closer together, it may work great.

When our old Belgian waffle maker (the round kind) died, I wasn’t too keen on replacing it because, well, it was such a pain to use/clean/store that I barely used it to begin with. But then I started to realize how much I was spending monthly on frozen waffles for my kids and decided to invest in a new waffle maker. My kids vacillate between waffles and pancakes most days, and I’ve resorted to the frozen variety out of convenience, but also because frankly I suck at making pancakes. Cooking pancakes on the stovetop is literally a 20-30 minute anxiety attack. I always burn them, they come out all different shapes/sizes, the kitchen fills up with smoke, and I go through way too much butter to keep the griddle greased. Not to mention the mess afterwards. Enter Cuisinart. I’m a huge Cuisinart fan. Their appliances have never let me down. I own their blender/food processor, toaster/convection oven, bread maker, stick blender, and the list goes on. Everything works well, and everything is easy to use. So when I saw yet another magical combo kitchen appliance from them, I knew it was the one. There is no learning curve to using this appliance. With a cacophony of toddlers in my general vicinity, I was able to make a batch of waffles with ease day 1. The kids loved them. Day 2 was pancake day, and as you can see from the video, IMHO, the Cuisinart Breakfast Central is the most civilized way to make pancakes. No smoke, no mess, no stress. Indeed, it was so enjoyable that I made 4 batches so that I had leftovers to freeze for the week. I whistled a happy tune all the while, basking in the anxiety free breakfast experience. My favorite feature, however, is that the PLATES COME OUT AND ARE DISHWASHER SAFE. Game. Changer. I can actually clean the appliance properly after use, instead of just kind of wiping it down and hoping nothing grows in there when it goes back into storage. I haven’t put the plates in the dishwasher since they’re so easy to clean, but it’s nice to know that I can. The entire outside seems to be non-stickish as well, so that when batter overflows (which sometimes it does), it wipes clean with ease. The Breakfast Central also comes with recipes included, which you’ll actually want to make (sweet and savory waffles, infused maple syrup recipes, and unique pancake recipes). I’m always impressed with the recipes Cuisinart includes with their appliances, and this is no exception. Other pros: 1. It’s surprisingly lightweight. 2. The handle stays nice and cool no matter how long I use the appliance. 3. The non-stick surface is excellent; absolutely nothing gets left behind. 4. There is only one control knob—super simple to use. 5. It cooks fast! I am beyond thrilled with this appliance and look forward to using it for years to come. Thank you, Cuisinart, for helping me to master cooking pancakes after all these years!

I lost my first copy and am ordering a second, so thats a good sign. This book does NOT have one master flour mix for everything (but she does have a basic bread mix that is used for a of loaves). Numerous recipes are simply that: recipes with any variety of ingredients that produce the best flavor for that bread. I like strong flavors, so some might not like the bean-like flavors some of her mixes / recipes produce, but I've made breads, rolls, and muffins from this cookbook and have been really happy with the results: they have heft, hold together, I can make sandwiches ... and when they get stale they make great stuffing and bread puddings. You will need a fair amount of flours and other items to make many of these items, but she doesn't rely on rice flours as so many GF recipe books do.

I purchased the Ninja Crispi air fryer to replace my regular Ninja model with four modes. While the original one worked well, it often produced a lot of smoke and odors because its heating elements were unprotected. When grease splattered onto them during cooking, it was difficult to clean and caused unpleasant smoke. This new Ninja Crispi model solves that problem completely. Its heating elements are fully protected, preventing grease from reaching them. This design makes it much easier to clean and eliminates the smoke issue entirely. The overall build quality is excellent. It is slightly smaller than my previous Ninja air fryer, but I really appreciate the glass design, it lets you watch the cooking process without opening it. The only downside is that it lacks a temperature selector. Even though it costs almost twice as much as the regular model and still has the same four preset modes, you lose the ability to set an exact temperature. Still, despite that limitation, it’s an excellent-quality air fryer that works extremely well with low noise level and is a great improvement in terms of ease of cleaning and smoke-free cooking.

Spend more money to purchase a well built, balanced even cooking machine. Does not cook evenly.

Excellent air fryer. The clean up is very easy. The cooking quality is great and has even heating. I would definitely recommend this product. I have cooked homemade meatballs, breaded chicken breast, fries, among other dishes.

Only used this twice and now I’m going to have to look for another option. Originally, I liked the fact that the bristles were not metal but unfortunately they burn and they don’t hold up too long time use when scrubbing your stone. Also, the bristles are in bedded in plastic and if you’re scrubbing your stone and that touches the plastic melts. I wouldn’t recommend this product.

The Cuisinart SOHO 5-Cup Coffee Maker brews better-tasting coffee because of built-in water filtration. Its take-apart design is similar to coffee makers in hotels, and allows you to deconstruct the water tank and filter basket to clean them thoroughly. The heating cycle and flow are brisk, and the brewed coffee tastes noticeably less bitter because of the water filtration. Scan the QR code on the instruction pamphlet to read the full user guide, which tells you to run a cycle with water and flush the charcoal filter packet separately before brewing coffee the first time, and to change the charcoal packet every 60 days. A fatal flaw in the design is lack of an off switch. When you plug in the device, the indicator light flashes rapidly. When you press the brew/cancel button, the brewing cycle starts and the light stays on continuously. After brewing, the coffee maker enters Keep Warm mode (indicator light flashes again) and automatically shuts off after 30 minutes. The user guide claims that pressing the brew/cancel button will shut off the Keep Warm mode and heating plate, but that doesn’t work on my device. The only way to shut off the Keep Warm mode is to unplug my device. After my morning coffee, I use my coffee maker to heat up one mug of water for herbal tea every few hours while working from home. With the Cuisinart coffee maker, I either have to waste electricity with unnecessary Keep Warm modes or cause needless wear and tear of the electrical outlet by plugging/unplugging several times a day for years. Hard to believe Cuisinart disregarded the importance of an on/off switch. They misjudged the customer base for 5-cup coffee makers – single people who want to brew 1 or 2 cups at a time without harming the environment, not families or office groups who keep a full pot of coffee on the burner for extended periods. I’m giving the device 4 stars because of better tasting coffee, but when it wears out, I’ll return to a brand that turns off on command instead wasting electricity.

This is part of my extended Cusinart Multiclad cookware purchase. I decided to Goodwill my old Faberware Millenial cookware and buy everything from scratch. Effectively money was no object and I spent a long time visiting specialty stores in my area (Seattle) to research and gain a feel for what I would be using for the rest of my life. I was suprised that the Cuisinart Multiclad line came out on top. I much prefer the handles to the All-Clad D3/D5 pans and the build is as good if not better. I considered Made-In but their line is small and they dont like to tell you that a lot of their items are made overseas. All-Clad are just as tricksy. They may be assembled in the USA but lids, handles and other bits are sourced from China. In the end I went with Cuisinart and I couldn't be happier. It's nice that they are less than half the price but you'd never tell by using them. The Casserol/Roundel/Braisier is on the far right behind the 3.3 liter saute pan. The black pan on the far left is an All-Clad hard anodised non-stick that I just got from TJMax for $20. How could I say no?

The percolator itself is great! We've had ours for years. But Cuisinart definitely needs to redesign the lid. I purchased our percolator in 2017 directly from Cuisinart. It works great, however the plastic knob broke off the lid after only about a year. I discovered I couldn't just purchase the plastic knob that broke, even though the rest of the lid was fine. So in 2018 I had to purchase the entire lid (back then it was $30 plus shipping from Cuisinart ) as a replacement. I decided I was not going to use the plastic knob to pull off the lid anymore, so for 3 years I gently pried off the lid with my fingers by pushing the metal lid up from where it fits into the pot, and I stopped putting it in the dishwasher and washed it by hand. In 2021, even though I had been very, very careful, the replacement lid broke in the same manner--the plastic knob broke off of the lid. Went back to the Cuisinart website and purchased a second replacement lid, fortunately the price hadn't gone up. Lo and behold just a few days ago, July 15, 2024, you guessed it! The plastic knob broke off again same way, the plastic knob! I like the coffee maker so much I went ahead and purchased THIRD lid, this time from cuisinartoutlets.com because it was a little less expensive but nevertheless the price has increased. Even though I really, really like this percolator, if this lid breaks I'll have to get a different brand of percolator, preferably with a replaceable GLASS knob! If you are considering purchasing this Cuisinart percolator, be prepared to purchase a new lid every 2 or 3 years at a cost of $35. You might also consider brewing very expensive coffee to keep things in perspective.

I love this air fryer so much I have now bought it for my mother and my sister and talked 5 other people into buying it. It is small, easy to use and easy to clean. It comes with a little book that tells you how to use and several recipes and YouTube has several people That have reviewed it and talk about how long to cook meats. We bought it for my mother because she is 86 and recently had surgery and we were looking for something to simplify her cooking and cut down on cleaning. You can marinate, store, cook, and store left over all in the same container. It takes up no room on the counter or in cabinet all pieces can go in the dishwasher except the engine but I use my Swiss towels to wipe the inside of that down. We use it everyday. We have cooked everything from chicken, Salmon, French fries, our whole meal etc. There are only two of us so we can fit a whole meal in the larger container. If you have a family of 4 you would only be able to put the meat or vegetable or starch in. We can put chicken in and flip it in 6 minutes and add asparagus, cook for another 6 minutes and they are perfect. We had a large air fryer that was a glorified convection oven before. It was expensive, took up a lot of room, and impossible to keep clean. The is such a good replacement. I put wrap chicken sandwiches in it as well. We use it every day at all meals. It has quickly become the most important appliance in my kitchen. It reheats meat beautifully without having the weird texture the microwave gives it. Definitely check out YouTube videos as a minute or two makes a big difference in cooking and over cooking but once you get the hang of it, you will love it. It’s all glass as well so you aren’t dealing with flaking teflon and plastics and other toxic items around your food. Well worth the $$
