Cleanup is quick and simple thanks to the dishwasher-safe bowl and lid, while the motor base wipes clean with a damp cloth.

Built to North American electrical standards and made with BPA-free materials, the Mini-Prep Plus is backed by a limited 18-month warranty—making it a reliable and practical addition to any kitchen.
Q: Can you chop nuts other hard items?
A: Yes and it does wonders for carrots and cabbage as well.
Q: Does this device work well for making pasta dough?
A: Maybe. To be honest, I haven't tried it for that purpose. But considering the size (3-cup handled bowl) for dough, I'd think you'd want to go with the larger 11-cup food processor instead. I've used this to mainly do small jobs (i.e. grind up full size walnuts or or dice up onions for a recipe, mince garlic) when I didn't want to pull out and assemble my larger 11cup Black 'N Decker processor. I love this processor so much. It's easy to assembly & clean up and it can go in the dishwasher! The blade is sharp and chops/grinds things done fast. (i.e. minced garlic with 15 cloves in 10-20 seconds) Got a very small footprint and could stay on my kitchen counter. I read another online review (QVC) that said the blade could rust -- so with that in mind I hurry and fully dry mine after use as a preventive measure.
Q: Does this model have a grating blade/attachment that one would use for shredding cabbage or carrots?
A: This item only processes.
Q: How many cups is this mini-prep plus food processor?
A: Work bowl capacity is 3 cups.
Q: Can this processor chop meat
A: I have chopped ham and it did fine.
Q: Does this have a handle (it shows no handle)?
A: undefined
Q: Does the mini prep shred cheese?
A: undefined
Q: Are extra bowls and blades available for purchase?
A: Contact Cuisinart. They likely have replacement parts. I replaced the main part of my Cuisinart InstaPot a few years back.
