This seven-disc set, designed to fit Cuisinart's DLC-X series models, makes your Cuisinart food processor even more useful. The discs speed up many long and tedious chopping and cutting tasks, especially when making large quantities of food for entertaining. The seven discs include three slicing discs of varying widths: the 1-millimeter disc produces wafer-thin slices of salami, ham, or cheese; the 3-millimeter slicing disc cuts vegetables, such as radishes or mushrooms, 1/8-inch thick; and the 8-millimeter slicer cuts about 1/3-inch thick and is best on vegetables such as eggplant, tomatoes, or cucumbers. The 8-millimeter slicer also works well on double-slicing vegetables into large julienne strips for crudités or French fries. However, the set also includes a 6-by-6-millimeter fruit, vegetable, and French fry cut disc for that purpose and for coarsely chopping onions and tomatoes or preparing other solid vegetables, such as turnips or yams, for deep frying.

The two julienne discs in this set are the first square-cut types to be available to home chefs and produce a more professional-looking end result. The 2-by-2-millimeter julienne disc is ideal for making shoestring potatoes and matchstick-size pieces of carrots or beets and can also shred cheese for pizza or tacos and chocolate for tortes. The larger julienne disc, in a 3-by-3-millimeter size, shreds slightly bigger pieces and is good for preparing fruits, vegetables, or cheese for salads. The final disc in the set is a fine shredder, which minces carrots for soup or cabbage for cole slaw and produces tiny slivers of hard cheese, chocolate, or coconut.

All discs in this set are made of sturdy stainless steel for long-lasting use. In addition, Cuisinart has made improvements to the discs and has raised the shelf the discs rest on in the food processor. The result is perfect slices every time rather than having a few that are bent or broken. The set comes with an instruction book, complete with recipes, explaining how to carry out cutting techniques. --Cristina VaamondeWhat's in the Box
