Good Tools

While in the US recently, I busted out my old cuisinart food processor to make some mayo. Of the three machines I've used to make mayo in the past few months, this was hands-down the best. I don't know how old my cuisinart is, probably at least 17 or 18 years. Maybe 20. It's heavy-use days are long over, but it did do a lot of work in the 90s. Really good piece of engineering. Makes the much newer Moulinex we use in the UK look pretty crappy.

  1. We still have the Black and decker food processor that we received when we got married--still makes excellent pesto! We also still have our Osterizer blender, of the same vintage, with a GLASS pitcher. I hope it lives on forever but I can only find blenders with plastic pitchers now.

  2. Yeah, plastic pitchers just aren't the same. There must be a market for glass replacement pitchers.
