The Mini-Prep® Plus™ Processor is the perfect kitchen helper for all small food preparation tasks, from finely chopping herbs or bread crumbs to finely grinding hard cheese. The versatility of the product lies in the Auto Reversing SmartPower™ Blade, which makes it quicker and easier for consumers to chop and grind foods. With just the touch of a button, consumers can select the Chop function for soft foods, such as onions or herbs, or the "Grind" function for hard foods like peppercorns, nutmeg and hard cheese. The end result–consumers can prepare small quantities of food more quickly and efficiently than ever before. The Mini-Prep® Plus™ Processor takes up a minimum amount of counter space, yet offers a multitude of product benefits, including more power than other choppers. The Mini-Prep® Plus™ Processor has a large 3-cup capacity work bowl, which is transparent. The cover has two small holes which allow for liquids to be added while the machine is running, and easily locks onto the unit. Both the work bowl and cover are durable and dishwasher safe. Other convenience features are the cord wrap and four non-skid feet for greater stability on the countertop.
