KitchenAid Dicer Test and Review ~ KitchenAid Pro Line Food Processor KFP1642 

Thanks!! It was fun! I got the larger dicer for my birthday so I am going to try it out and see if it is better.

Please could I ask where you purchased your machine with the dicing kit in the UK as I am considering purchasing it. Thank you

Thanks for watching!

Thanks Tracey! This test was fun! I recently got the larger dicer for this machine so I will be testing it out soon. Thanks for watching!

@@AmyLearnsToCook ☺ i like yours videos!thanks that you are.i am looking to buy now this model kitchenaid foood proc. but i am not sure about that dicing disc. where can buy little biger for this machine?i would like too! but i am from other country.thanks

Mark, we're glad you enjoyed the video and helped you make your tough decision. It has gotten to the point where I hit up Amazon for reviews anytime I spend $20 and up. Too bad most reviews were harder on the KA than what you found out in person. The refurb ones are a great value. Good that you could get enough attachments to make this useful. I usually figure as long as you can use it right away and buy from a dependable place that offers a refund in case it doesn't work the way you want it to, then you can't go wrong. Right? So hopefully you'll get lots of use out of it. Glad you enjoy our videos. Thank you for watching and your comment.

Wow I amin the same boat, tossing up between the Breville and the Kitchenaid food processors, which one to buy, I also own a KA bowl lift stand mixer....just not convinced the KA food processor is as good as the Breville, the Breville peels potatoes in seconds...

+Michael's Home Cooking It was really fun to use!

I hope it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

+imiKah K Thanks for watching and commenting. We appreciate that.

+imiKah K Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I recently got the larger dicer for this food processor. I will be testing it soon so stay tuned! I am anxious to see if the pieces are larger.

@@AmyLearnsToCook thanks for the video. did you review the larger dicer?

Thanks for that tip! I will try it! I got a 12mm version of the dicer but I haven't tried it out yet. I will do another video comparing the two...and I will try adjusting it. Thanks!

+Roxie 52 Thanks Roxie! I am going to order the 12mm dicing blade for it to see if it works better. The dice size was kinda small.

I recently got the bigger dicer but I haven't been able to use it yet. I will do an updated video to test it out! Thanks for watching!

@@AmyLearnsToCook AMY,WHERE CAN BUY BIGGER DICER AND HOW ITS CALL FOR SEARCH ONLINE?THANKS.I WATCHING YOURS VIDEOS ABOUT COOKING AND YOU HELP ME ALOT IN THE KITCHEN :) 😉

+Christopher Shannon Thanks. Glad you liked the video. Thanks for commenting.

Eric Learns to Cook I know it's been a while since commenting on this video but I also wanted to add that KitchenAid also make the Food Processor Attachment for the Stand Mixers. I'm pretty sure that you are aware of that attachment too.

+Chef John Politte (It's Only Food) Thanks Chef. Glad you liked the review.

+ANN POLLARD My favorite food processor is the salad shooter because it works wonders on shredding cheese, is cheap, and only has like two parts. AKA, it's "Man-Proof". LOL. All these other things are nonsense. Amy loves her gadgets though! Thanks for watching. Glad you loved our video.

+Eric Learns to Cook I feel you on that. Amy is not the only one who loves her gadgets. I definitely do too. ☺

+ANN POLLARD I can understand loving your gadgets. I like my tools, but a certain person in our family likes to 'collect' gadgets., especially the shiny ones. Well, we were delayed in doing our head to head challenge between the Breville, KA, and the Cuisinart. If there's anything you'd like to see us compare in this challenge, let us know. We'll likely do it in a few weeks.

+Eric Learns to Cook Lol...thanks, I definitely will. Hi Amy ☺

+ANN POLLARD Hi Ann! I've heard good things about the Stack and Snap Food Processor. I've never use done. Did you get it at Target?

+Mardie Scott Mardie, this wasn't that hard to use/figure out. But to cut that many different things and to clean between each use was not fun. If you're gonna dice things that are all going together, like onions and peppers or a mirepoix, then I'd say to save time, just run that poker thing to clear out the square cutter and do the next vegetable. But for a 'how to use it' video, we needed this to be as clear as possible, thus kind of a pain to have to wash it so many times. But, we went through a lot of veggies. Amy made a lot of things out of all that. Heck, I might just get my five servings/day of veggies this week. LOL!!!!

+Mardie Scott Thanks Mardie! I was fumbling around with it when I first tried to put it together. I played with it a few times before I shot the video. It is definitely a little difficult to get together. I did notice that they make a 12mm dicer for the Pro Line...it might be better because this one the dice is really small.

Thanks for watching, but please don't encourage her. LOL!!!! I have enough of them right now. We do owe some videos on the 10mm and 12mm dicers.

+FitAnge S Oh for the humanity!!!! I thought cubed cheese would be nice but 8mm is really tiny. I'd need something like 20mm to make me interested in eating the stuff (ha ha ha). Yeah, knives are useful for something, right? But like one of our viewers mentioned, it is addicting to just toss stuff into the dicer.

I just recently got the bigger dicer that is 12 mm. The one that comes with it is 8 mm and very small. I am anxious to try this new one to see if the dice size is better.

@@AmyLearnsToCook Do you buy it through internett or directly in the shop? In case do you have a link to the internett shop?

I got the larger dicing attachment for my birthday. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet tho.

andy van brunoise comes in 2 sizes: cubes of 1.5 or 3 mm. Macédoine is 6mm. Then you have parmentier etc.

Thanks for watching. Yes, they have a 12mm that we bought after this review. We'll do an updated one with it. Also, someone mentioned that if you use a thicker slice adjustment on the blade, then the small dices aren't as bad. So we'll see about that.

Thank you for asking. We recently purchased the 12mm dicer attachment and will be doing a review on it in the near future. I hope you enjoyed this review.

I just got one so I will be testing it soon! Stay tuned!

p.s. I do know that I can buy the peel and slice kit for my older Sous Chef for $200 I think it was (?) which may be worth it at some point. If I get arthritis in my hands someday I'm definitely going to want the peeler, even if it does take off just a bit more of the potato or leaves on a few bit of skin here and there. Would still probably cut my peeling time down to 1/4 of the time as well as effort!

The dicer worked pretty good for me but the pieces are small. I ordered the larger dicer...I think it is 12mm. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet tho.

Flumplebum. Stop being so inconsiderate if your husband spent the money on you show some appreciation by using it

I only got lucky to find the smaller dicer at Everything Kitchens. Try calling KA directly and see if they have my parts.

Yes, I bought it for Amy's birthday. We will review it. I think comparing it to the 8mm will be helpful. It's too bad when you buy one of these with the dicer, you only get the 8mm, which seems to only work on hard food and seems to be a "fine" dicer, and not a "medium" dicer, which may be more helpful. So a comparison video would be helpful. Thanks for watching.

Eric Learns to Cook thanks I'm hoping to buy one soon and I'd like to know how well the 12 millimeter does hope to see ur video soon

You can buy a french fry disk for this FP. Eric bought me one for my birthday I haven't h ad a chance to use it yet. I plan to do a video on it so stay tuned! Thanks for watching!

+jasson ong Thanks for watching. We cook for the week on the weekends, mostly so we can just grab a container or two from the fridge and head out the door in the morning. In this case, Amy used most of what she diced up. We ran out of time to make the gumbo, so we'll do that next weekend. We froze the mirepoix. Everything else was used. I hope that answers your question.

+jasson ong I cooked a lot of it...and froze some.

They do make a larger dicer. You can get it at Everything Kitchens.

AmyLearnsToCook cool. Thanks for the great Intel The Real JoeyB Dallas Fort Worth Texas USA utilizing the Traeger Timberline 1300

+missdee212 I thought of freezing it way too late (just made it cold, but not solid). But you're right. I know with the Kitchenaid grinder attachment for the mixer, you're supposed to partially freeze meat and stuff that would otherwise be soft or chewy so that the grinder can feed it without getting all clogged up. I really think 8 mm is too small for cheese anyways. It might be easier to melt if you dice it that small, but I'm thinking bigger (much bigger) chunks would be welcome if used as a snack.

It works great if the meat is semi frozen.

+Sean Young Only if Le Creuset made a food processor. :-)

+Zoe Aparicio Zoe, I agree with you in general. Most of the time, the food processor is not worth the hassle of setting up and cleaning, unless you are slicing or dicing a lot. If Amy is going to cook up a 5 lbs bag of potatoes (minus peeling and cutting out rotten parts), then a good slicer can save time, especially ones that are dishwasher safe. We spent a lot of time Saturday washing the food processor between each vegetable (quick hand washing). There were so many parts and then the toothpick to get the fine parts. At least there were no parts that we could not get all the food out. This food processor is better than some when it comes to cleaning. Still, it was very time consuming. But, the mirepoix turned out pretty nice.

It is an ok FP but it is expensive. I got it on a huge discount but I have seen this model upwards of $500!

Did you put the shaft in which connects the motor with the dicer? appreciate this is two years later so you're probably sorted now, but might be useful for someone!

Mucho gracias.

+jw Thanks for watching the video and commenting. You have a lot of good points. On its own, the dicer feature is not worth the expense or hassle of using to spend $600 new or $250-300 refurb. KA makes a 13 cup food processor that also fits the dicing kit, but is sold separately. However, one of the big 24 hour TV selling channels (think three letters) has sold in the past, a combo deal of dicing kit and food processor. It would have possibly been worth it. But the possibly better deal would have been to pay the $200 for the food processor and the $150 for the upgraded 12 mm dicer. Still, you have to weigh the pros and cons. KitchenAids PROLINE models are always nice, but also always expensive and never on sale, unless you are very careful where you shop online. I would imagine a standalone dicer would be much more effective. I think tomatoes will work if they are roma (aka plumb) tomatoes that have more meat and less liquid. Cheese won't work on that size but might work on the larger one if frozen. Some things you just have to think ahead. News alert....just gave me a thought. You ever saw my french fry videos? I'm thinking my Gander Mountain french fry cutter might just do an interesting job on cheese. Not a dicer, but might make french fry shape that can then be cut with a knife? hmmm. worth a try. I just have to remember to 'pull' and not push the lever, it's much easier. hmmmm. might be a new use for the thing.

+Eric Learns to Cook Yes, Eric, I did see your french fry video. Good idea with trying that cutter on cheese and other vegetables like cucumber, zuccini e.t.c. Who knows, it might work. Wating for a video on that. As for the dicer... KA needs to come up with a much better version. This one is a no, no.

+jw Yeah, I agree, but we'll likely waste some money and try the bigger dicer to see if it is any good. We're already $$ into this review, might as get a little more stupid? Yeah, if the French fry cutter works, you'll definitely see a video on it. Might even be funny.

Really this much hassle and you get only one small size then washing this thing and keeping in cupboard somewhere . Totally not worth the money and struggle. May hotel kitchen can get any benefit from this

This being a refurbished Model, I think the motor is bad. It should not be hanging like that

LOL! Thanks for watching!

I had to send the dicer back as I could not get it apart. I have now received a replacement, which is slightly better, but still really difficult to untwist. It looks stiff on this review but nothing like what I have experienced with it - had to tap with a hammer to get apart! Has anyone else experienced this?

How do you get it apart!!! Got mine today and cant get the dicing attachment to seperate to clean!

@@snehnandha9198 I can’t get mine apart, I use the spindle that goes down the middle , I use it to spin around the dicing blade under running water to clean, this wouldn’t work though if diced up say meat or cheese, which I avoid for this reason of getting it clean

No money from them on this one. Amy thought the dicer would be fun to use. It seems to be a lot of work. The KA came with this 8mm dicer. We bought a 12mm dicer that we'll test in the future. I think if you wanna dice a ton of stuff, the 12mm might do the job. If you wanna dice a few things, just use a knife.

+R. Thomassen Thanks for watching and commenting. Yeah, the 8 mm slicer has a lot to be desired. Definitely not worth the hassle for smaller jobs. Would be interesting if the 12 mm can do a better job.

I am not sure...The one I was using was what came with the food processor. It in essence does the same thing. It slices first then pushes it through the square dicing blade. It looks like the slicer on the 13 cup swings around but the Proline is like a regular blade. The end result is pretty much the same.

The blade that came with your Proline Food Processor makes it jam too easily. On my Proline Food Processor, it works wonderful with the other blade

I agree

I've never seen the Dynacube. I will take a look at it! Thanks for watching!

C'est une vraie poubelle, tout se coincé. Impossible à dévisser, surtout n'achetez pas ce kit Macédoine
