Food Processor
Slices, dices, also makes julienne fries: This one tool really does do it all, and it has forever changed prep work in the majority of American kitchens. Shredding cabbage takes mere minutes; pureeing squash no longer means forcing endless batches through the food mill. Recipes for everything from salsas and salad dressing to cookies and cakes call for a food processor. Invented in France in the 1960s, the food processor made its way into American kitchens with the introduction of the Cuisinart in 1973. To gain acceptance of his product, the Cuisinart’s inventor, Carl G. Sontheimer, collected endorsements from James Beard, Julia Child, The New York Times, and Gourmet, and it worked: By 1977, Cuisinart’s sales totaled $50 million.
