A few months later...
OMG!
How could I live without a Breville food processor all those years?
Talk about perfection... That thing is a beast!
Breville sent me the optional dicing blades for free (two other blade sizes in a separate storage case). and definitely, the dicing kit quickly became my favorite (actually even more than the S-blade.
I had a learning curve using the S-blade. Things I was used to pulse 4-5 times using any other FP, now I have to pulse once or twice.
pasta dough... hahaha... it does it with the hands tied on his back, like Houdini. 30 seconds and that's it.
now peeling potatoes... OMG, it peels 6 potatoes to perfection.... IN TWENTY-FIVE SECONDS.
It was horribly expensive, for a second I thought about returning it because over $700 is too much for a FP, but then I started noticing it's worth every single cent and the additional dicing blades made it absolutely perfect for all my needs.
The only thing that isn't completely perfect is the mini bowl. It works great, but I always end up with the main lid to wash. For a quick prep that I just chop small things like mirepoix for one dish, I prefer to use my KA 3.5 cup mini food chopper that is also amazing, but much easier to simply toss in the dishwasher (Breville bowls and lid aren't DW safe). If I need to chop something and the Breville is already dirty, then I use the mini bowl.
I definitely recommend Breville. I got what I paid for. At that absurd price (Williams Sonoma) I would be very angry if its performance was anything below perfect.
