walkitoutA few days ago, when I was looking for the manual for the dishwasher, I found the DVD included with the manual for the DLC-10S I bought back in August 2008. I opened it up and am watching it with A. She’s actually kind of into it. I was prepared to make fun of poor Hubert Keller, but he’s honestly quite charming, and his recipe selection is plausible. He clearly gave some thought to all this and is trying to help home cooks produce nice stuff with a food processor.
I noticed the copyright on the DVD — I had _thought_ I had this in the late 1990s, but of course I had a smaller chopper of some sort, and didn’t get this until after we moved back to NH.
I did get to thinking about the workbowl being made out of Lexan, tho. Hmmm.
It’s particularly interesting watching this after having watched the YouTube equivalent video for the v-slicer we own. I genuinely have a decade plus habit of buying various devices for Not Having to Use a Knife to Chop Every Damn Thing and then not learning how to use them properly and just Using A Knife to Chop Every Damn Thing. What an odd little quirk of my personality to discover this late in life.
OTOH, late middle age, arthritis in various joints. Maybe now is a _great_ time to notice this quirk and use, really, _any_ of these devices to not have to chop every thing thing with a knife.
ETA (next morning): I thought to myself, Self, you know that someone has uploaded that DVD’s contents to YouTube. Indeed. In two parts, because it is kinda long. If you would like to watch it, here are the links:
