Elemental 13 Cup Food Processor With Dicing (FP-13DGM)

[@gcgjohnson]

After being overwhelmed unboxing my new processor, I perused the instruction booklet and decided to search KZbin. Thank you for making it simple.

[@jo-annrussell381]

I have had my processor for a year but was intimidated using it. You made it so simple! Thank you!

[@stefaniestolinsky942]

I just love this lady. She's so classy and makes me enjoy the processor even more!!!

[@Oxford322]

I can’t get the bowl back on !

[@HeidiWestMusic]

Thank you! This was so helpful! I’ve never used a food processor before and the written instructions were so confusing. U made it very easy!

[@raelamaestra]

This video is wonderful! When I found out I could use the sliding attachment to cut potatoes for potato chips, I had no idea you could adjust it by millimeters! I also wasn't sure how to use the dicer! I also didn't know about the hole in the plunger to add the oil gradually. Thanks again for a helpful video! ❤️

[@thaijohnston1840]

I assume the disc blades are not designed to be used with the smaller work bowl? As I cannot figure out how to get the top to lock into place.

[@NavyWife]

Thank you for making this video. I can’t tell you how long I have wanted a food processor and at last I have this model.❤❤

[@geekthegirl6961]

Was hoping for a demo of the dicer.

[@midelus]

Me too. It's weird that the only thing she demonstrated was something you could easily make without it.

[@mrBDeye]

The dicer kit comes with two discs. Place the one with grid into the bowl first. The grid towards the handle. It is stationary and doesn’t spin. The second disc goes in next and snaps over the stem. Install the cover onto the main bowl to close. How the dicer works… turn on the motor and add the food from top. Pushing the food down (potato) will slice. Continue to push the food through the grid. The top disc spins and slices , while the grid disc is stationary.

[@zepguwlthistle7924]

so disappointed you didn't demonstrate the dicer

[@cuisinart]

Hi the dicing attachment demo can be seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJKxknSYn5aqeJY

[@zepguwlthistle7924]

that is the spiralizer not the dicer was glad to see that also but would really like to watch it dice before buying it. That is the main reason i want it for. I might get the spiralizer attachment also

[@cuisinart]

The dicer attachment can be seen in action here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH20nq2Np7unj9E

[@alicenisagurz1438]

Can you show how to shred cabbage and slicing cucumber? Chopping is the easiest thing...

[@LindseyRyder]

Considering the dicing feature sets this processor apart from most other processors, it's too bad you didn't actually show it in dicing. Otherwise, the video is informative about the other features that are so common to other processors.

[@BobRooney290]

i think it was shown incorrectly. should it dice then cut? the cutting blade should be below the dicer.

[@RIKRRT]

Thanks for making it easy for me to learn how to use this food processor. Much easier than the instruction manual that came with it.👍😀

[@pattisheaffer3180]

Show the dicing feature! Duh

[@sandylee9011]

Why would you just show us the pieces without showing how they work? I came to the manufacturers video to get professional instructions for someone like me who just unpacked the box and finds it all a bit overwhelming. The person demo’ing did her job well but why wasn’t she instructed to show us how to use each blade since you have different sizes of everything? Not to mention she also seems to have trouble locking pieces in place. This doesn’t make me excited to use this. I waited a long time to get this and now, im not sure if I made a mistake. I’m more overwhelmed now than before I watched this.

[@fatousene1940]

How is this going for you? I want to get one. Please give me an update on yours

[@carolopiyo2487]

A cuisinart with a dicing blade but you decide making a vinaigrette that any cheapo food processor is capable of doing, was the way to go. Smh!

[@dalex60]

Sad to say, but the quality of this unit pales to my older Power Prep Plus..

[@ruthanndeline197]

Thanks for the video but I couldn't get mine to run at all when i turned it on. I found out from another video that the handle of the container has to be at the front of the unit for it to work. Hope this helps someone else.

[@billcration-zj3yc]

Ruth Ann Deline This comment helped me too thanks

[@ZarahBee]

THANK YOU.

[@ZarahBee]

this is literally why i looked at the tutorial in the first place- not like my old cuisinart

[@informedRev13]

Omg!!! You are saving lives and kitchen made chefs!

[@kft2926]

I bought one three weeks ago and unboxed it yesterday. When I plugged it in and tried to press any button for checking it working or not, it didn't work as I expected. Should I completely assemble them and then I can expect to see it work?

[@hammshomestead]

Did the dicing kit, small work bowl, and storage case come with it or did you have to order them as add ons? I can only find the main unit then have to order the other stuff additionally

[@sammiedav1053]

Of all the blades and different chopping this machine can perform, you decided to demonstrate something I could do in my blender. This video did not show anything about this machine. As if to buy a car and to test drive it, someone sits you inside the car and after half an hour talk about all the gadgets and talk of horsepower, he just turns on the AC!!! Disappointing.

[@KathleenFrances]

I thought the EXACT SAME THING!!

[@maha77]

yah did I just sit through this video with a demo of the dice blade?

[@llamamom100]

You show how to make dressing. REALLY???? Dressing????? I spent Way over one hundred dollars to learn how to make Dressing??? Really???? Goodness.

[@2010stoof]

Because it's a 13 cup processor with a motor not only crazy loud but almost half the wattage as the older style 7 cup model ( now called pro classic) They even tried to quiet the motor on camera. You should hear how loud it is in person. Look up pro classic or prep 11 plus and see how much better the induction motors are in the older style machines are. All the "boxy" 7, 11, and 14 cup are still good with quality motors that when you stop pulsing the blade actually stops. Same with the "prep" series same good motors. When pulsing for 1 second, it's no good if the blade takes 2-3 more seconds to come to stop. These new Cuisinart really don't live up to the cuisinart name I recommend getting one of the older style a before they're discontinued. Any of the box base style or the prep series. There's a reason the box style have a 5 year motor warranty and the prep series (same motors) boast a 10 year warranty These are the same models you see people have for 30+ years. There's a reason.

[@bgda3676]

I can not get the pusher assembly into the work bowl cover. I have tried moving the lock in and out and it does not clear the way for assembly. What is the trick to get the pusher attached to the cover?

[@r.jyonce8253]

Same!!!

[@stephaniesalva9036]

is the dicing attachment available for the other models?

[@katr3110]

Why no demo on the dicer?

[@daveinca2]

Dicer demo is in a different video now.

[@altheamcnabb2829]

UUUUMMMM... good hopefully UUUUMMMMM SOMEONE else does it..UUUUMMMMMM... I hate every other word being UUMMMM. or Ya'Know What I mean....

[@altheamcnabb2829]

Yeah, any moron that buys a food processor knows how to use it. That Dicer is something new. I dont see how the blade above it is not going to get into the way of the food entering the squares.

[@altheamcnabb2829]

NOPE SAME UUUUMMMM. CHICK ON OTHER VIDEO. In a 2 minute video, she says UUMMM at least 10 times. wth.

[@juddvance8104]

Thanks for the video. The instructions blow, so this was a big help.

[@ginadanner7580]

At least you got instruction... i received nothing!

[@noneya135]

Hey did you now you can pour stuff out of a bowl? Who knew?

[@seikibrian8641]

The point she was making was that, unlike the classic Cuisinart models, you can turn the bowl over without the s-blade falling out. On the older models it doesn't lock into the bowl, so you have to stick a finger up through the hole in the bottom of the bowl to hold the blade in as you turn over the bowl.

[@robertantunovich7504]

will it grate italian cheese fine or chuncky. my old 11 cup cusinart grates cheese real fine? thank you

[@BoulevardH]

how to go shopping for noseums year round on Sunday morning!

[@hollygrom7166]

I have this food processor and it didn’t come with a dicing kit. Is it possible to order separately? Thx

[@enrichingexchanges]

When I saw this (a prospective customer), I thought this thing needs its own room, and a 3-credit course to figure out how to use. This is the antithesis of how to make things simple. Like many in the comments are telling, a vinaigrette is not the reason why someone buys a food processor. It's main function is to dice/chop/slice. Instead of getting to the point, this video goes on and on, and in the process reveals how complicated this machine is. You need two people to manage this thing. Engineers gone wild.

[@wj7495]

You're a troubled soul, huh? I hope you never have to own a car.

[@rdog421]

Loser

[@louiseotto6712]

This is a great video, I totally understand the machine now. Thanks so much

[@bethstimmel8704]

Help! I can’t figure how to use this and I’ve had it for years. I can’t figure out how to it process food. I can’t get the blade to snap in.

[@cuisinart]

Hi Beth, we apologize for the inconvenience. Please email [e-mail] so we can better assist you.

[@beatricejohnson3692]

wish that you had demonstrated the dicer!!!!!

[@summergray1397]

I just purchased this from Costco. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to pull the small pusher (round circle) out of the medium pusher in the lid. It is stuck, brand new! I called the Cuisinart Hotline and after 40 minutes on hold, was told to watch this video. Not helping. She twists the piece out and said something about locking, but I can't get the piece to budge at all! Any suggestions, other than packing up all the pieces and taking back to Costco for an exchange?

[@seikibrian8641]

The small pusher locks in place by a simple twist. Before lifting out, you have to unlock it by twisting in the opposite direction. If it's too tight the first time, get a friend with a strong grip to help you.

[@cindyholmes7824]

I am unable to adjust the slicer, what is the trick. She makes it look easy, but mine won't move

[@terryhenderson101]

Cindy Holmes turn the arrow towards the number #1. It was a little hard to turn for me the first time but just be careful not to cut yourself on the top blade part

[@bitaklein7942]

I would like to use it to mash potatoes which blade should I use; also can I mix the milk, etc in there with it?

[@seikibrian8641]

A food processor shouldn't be used for mashing potatoes unless you like gluey mush.

[@fxrlracing5502]

@@seikibrian8641 I am thinking this may be too dangerous for this lady... kinda scary... schwing, schwing... fingertip salad!

[@dag118]

Titanium dioxide an issue?

[@abi2270]

Mine came with a spiralizer and ribbon slicer.

[@marksatterfield3100]

As an owner of this exact machine. IT IS JUNK! Notice how she did everything EXCEPT use the machine as a food processor. The wide mouth feed tube is a complete design flaw . Does not engage the motor safety on switch until the wide mouth pusher is at the bottom of the tube. In other word, you can fill the wide mouth tube full but the moteor will not operate. See the safety switch activator at 3:05 - 3:16. Think about it When shredding cabbage of Frenching green beans, half of it gets stuck up in a concave recess in the lid. A complete mess when you take of the lid. You have been warned.

[@hcnevils]

It's so aggravating! I don't even want to use this anymore and I've tried it three times. It's very crappy!

[@imadbouraima1534]

Can this be used as a juicer

[@sacharichter569]

Can you add a spirilyzer?

[@30whitehorses]

Brilliant explanation

[@OlBelkan]

Hello! I am going to buy this food processor, but I need at least two more discs for it - potato grater and french fries. I searched everywhere and couldn't find it. Can I buy them later somewhwere?

[@deborahinla123]

Doesn't yours come with a 2-sided grater disc--for thin and thicker grating?

[@2010stoof]

Not on this model. You want the older better model style. Pro classic 7 cup, custom 11 cup, custom 14 cup, prep 11 plus. All take the older style disc that have many more options. Plus way better motor than these new loudly ones.

Hi Please Why is it 13 cups

[@catherineperez8871]

come on how do you use the damn thing cant even get the bowl on we can read the instruction manual t get this info

[@seikibrian8641]

You have to remove the cover (or at least twist it to the unlocked position) to get the bowl onto the base, otherwise the safety plunger blocks it from locking into place. Similarly, you have to remove (or unlock) the lid to then get the bowl off the base.

[@bitaklein7942]

also how do I leave it on; mine seems to only pulse

[@seikibrian8641]

There's a pulse button and an on button, right?

Upper echelon when you have a Kitchen Aid and Cuisinart! Waiting on mine to come in the mail. The Hamilton I have is a piece of crap. That guard thing doesn't connect anymore, so now I can't use it.

I have the Cuisinart Elemental 13 cup food processor but it didn't come with the dicing kit. I live in Canada, is it possible to purchase the dicing kit separately?

i think i saw it on amazon

[@cuisinart]

The FP-13 has both a dicing attachment and a spiralizing attachment available!

As of 2019, you still have to purchase the dicing kit separately. I have a feeling this was just a misleading video by Cuisinart!

@@sammiedav1053 got the dicing kit with the food processor at costco today. I really liked my old Cuisinart, but it broke. Was glad this one has a slicing dial that can go 1mm for slicing cabbage for fish tacos because on the other cuisinarts you can't buy a 1mm disc

Hi does this Dicing Kit work on a 14 cup food processor?

Hi Vidya, our dicing kit is currently an exclusive attachment for our Elemental 13 Cup Food Processors. Please send any product features or suggestions you may have to: [e-mail]. Thank you!

[@vidyasujeet787]

Thanks for responding! I have some suggestions for product features. I'll share it with you. I was also thinking to exchange the 14 cup for a 13 cup. Is it possible?

[@kathi10208]

According to the video, a dicing kit comes with the FP. Yes? No? Does it come with the storage case? I visit the Bed, Bath and Beyond web site and they only show the FP. No dicing kit, no storage case. Before I ask the hubs for one as a gift, I'd like to make sure I have the correct information. Thank you.

[@cuisinart]

Hi Kathi, the FP-13 comes with two work bowls (13 cup and 4 cup), a wide-mouth feed tube with three sizes of pusher (small, medium, and large), a chopping/mixing blade, a dough blade, and a small and large s-blade, a reversible shredding disc (fine on one side, medium on the other), an adjustable slicing disc (0-7mm), and an accessory storage case to keep all your blades safely stored. Hope this helps!

@@sarahscanlontitman1226 You can get a Cuisinart FP with or without a dicing kit. Check the model number to get the one you want.

[@2010stoof]

Why are tt motors in these new units so much less powerful (watts) and so much louder? They also don't stop fast. When you pulse for 1 second, it takes 2-3 seconds for blade to stop. Example: my 7 cup pro classic has a quiet 600 watt induction motor that stops in a dime. This is a 13 cup and only has 350 watts and takes forever for blade to stop Why did they go for much worse parts in these? There's a reason the older style "boxy" looking ones and the next gen after "prep" series last so long I know of the 7 cup (used to just be called DLC-10, now called pro classic) that lasted 30 years. Same with the custom 14 (used to be called dlc-7). I don't like these new models. I'd love to know why they went away from what's been working for 40 years as far as the good induction motors. :-/ Glad I have all the older style ones.

[@justpassingthrough.]

When you only want to use the small work bowl, is there a possibility that the ingredients might splash onto the big work bowl? Why not just make a separate small work bowl? I am so disappointed in this design.

[@enifled8888]

This isn't a very good demonstration at all. You just show blending up a vinaigrette. I want to know what a food processor can do--how it shreds, dices, and slices. This video is useless. This one has all sorts of attachments and you don't demonstrate them at all.

[@TerriMagoo]

❤❤❤

[@ayresjim]

Thoughts here... I agree with others that she should have demonstrated use of the slicing and shredding discs, and how the dicing kit works. She just shows what you get when you unpack the thing, and very little about actual use of the machine. It's great that the slicer disc has adjustable thickness and the shredding disc is reversible. But what about showing how to prepare foods using them? And I bought this model for the dicing kit and there's hardly any explanation about that at all. Frankly, Ms. Rogers is not an engaging presenter and seems unorganized. At least 5 times she says "oh, I forgot to mention" this or that. Cuisinart, this video needs a complete re-do with more useful content and with a professional presenter (like someone on QVC).
