The Thin Slicing Disc is not included with the 14 Inch Cuisinart Custom Food Processor, but if you like American fried potatoes or home-made potato chips you will want to buy this disc. It makes perfect slices in seconds.

I recently purchased a Cuisinart DLC-2014N PowerPrep Plus 14-Cup Capacity Food Processor, White which I really love. The food processor is perfect for all of my needs in raw vegan food preparation. A 4-mm slicing disc was included with the food processor but I also need a thinner slice so I quickly purchased this accessory Cuisinart DLC-042TX Stainless Steel Thin Slicing Disc 2-mm and put it right to work. It is the perfect accessory for this wonderful machine and I couldn't be more delighted with the results.

I make my own sauerkraut in a 7.5 liter fermentation crock, so I need about 12 pounds of shredded cabbage for each batch. That's a lot of shredding, too much shredding in fact for me to do by hand. Some kitchen tasks, especially those requiring my very sharp mandoline, are just too challenging for me with my disability. With my PowerPrep and the 2mm slicing blade I get perfect shredded cabbage in a fraction of the time it takes me to do the same work with the mandoline.

I use this thin blade for shredding other veggies for slaw and also nice, uniformly thin slices of veggies and fruits for making homemade chips in my dehydrator.

The disc is pricey but worth the expense. Amazon didn't carry it so I had to search through the third party sellers. It does pay to shop around with attention to shipping costs.

With this handy blade, why would anyone attempt a super thin slice with a knife? Cuisinart makes the job so much easier and the results look professional. My kids love homemade potato chips and my previous option was a mandolin. The slicing results are similar but this blade cuts the time in half ( probably less) which gives you a fresher potato. In seconds you have an entire batch ready to wash and fry up. The thin slicing blade is not just for potatoes, obviously. You're limited only by your imagination. It would be wonderful if Cuisinart included all their blades in the original purchase but this one is worth adding to your collection. You can't really go wrong with Cuisinart.

We originally ordered the wrong item and are so happy with the service we received with the exchange. I would highly recommend buying from this seller. They helped us find the item we needed and always had timely, helpful responses. I will definitely seek them out to purchase from in the future. Thank you so much!

Tried this blade on 3 different styles of 11 cup cuisinart food processors. This unit didn't fit any of them.
