Cuisinart is offering a high-tech and innovative food processor that doesn't merely carry out preparatory tasks such as cutting, chopping, pureeing and whisking, but is more than capable of taking things a step further to cook those very ingredients via a variety of methods.
Aptly named the Complete Chef, this innovative food processor has a stainless steel bowl in which it processes ingredients. The bowl can then be programmed to cook food at a specific temperature and using a plethora of methods including slow-cooking, sauteeing, simmering and even braising.
The Complete Chef even comes with 200 pre-programmed recipes to get you started, although users can experiment with their own recipes as well. Priced at $699.95, this food processor is truly an all-purpose kitchen gadget.
