Breville Sous Chef 16 Food Processor

Breville Sous Chef 16 Food Processor

Sous Chef 16 keeps blades and discs in a separate case, which leaves the work bowl free. A second box holds the dicing kit on Paradice 16. KitchenAid KFP1318 stores its tools inside the bowl, cutting down on separate shelf storage. The standard Ninja NF701 package leaves out its optional storage box.

Why it suits this job

  • Blade safeguarding
  • Organized discs
The catch
Storing the base, 16-cup bowl and accessory case takes a lot of room.
