The Mighty Robot Coupe

I'd like you to meet my very first food processor!

The last time Ben and I visited his mother in the Hudson River Valley, I saw this forlorn machine sitting in her garage, cobwebby and neglected. Ben's mother had a Cuisinart that she used in her kitchen, but this older workhorse was just gathering dust. The motor was in good shape, but it lacked the metal blade (it had several discs for grating and shredding). Robot Coupe was the manufacturer of the first Cuisinarts, and is apparently the most-used food processor in restaurant and professional kitchens.

By the end of the weekend, Ben was toting the heavy box back into the city, and I was brainstorming about where to get a new blade. Days later on Ebay, serendipity brought me to a seller trying to get rid of his broken Robot Coupe that came with a metal blade, a dough blade and a shredder disc. As luck would have it, I won the auction. Now I am ready to process and pulse! I can't wait to make pie crusts and carrot salads and pizza dough and chopped nuts and cookie dough. Thank you, Lynn!

Interesting--I didn't know Robot Coupe was still in business. I thought that was just the old name for Cuisinart. Have fun with your new toy!

That is awesome! I really love my food processor - I'm sure you're gonna make some great treats with yours!

Angie - I think Robot Coupe might only be in the wholesale business, but I could be mistaken.

Tina - I can't wait to get started!

Wow, what a find! these treasures are coveted in kitchens! if there are blades etc here in paris, let me know where and i'll ship some to you. laura

Laura - you are so kind, thank you very much! I'm hoping that my Ebay blades will do the trick (and will test them out shortly!), but if not, I will definitely let you know.
