Amazon.com Review
How did we ever get along without food processors? This three-disk set enables you to expand the use of your machine with several terrific time-savers. The fine grater is used with especially hard foods such as nutmeats, Parmesan cheese, ginger, and horseradish, and the resulting uniform size of those tough-to-grate fibers are wonderful for adding to all sorts of recipes. The julienne disk gives you uniform 3-by-3-millimeter strips of vegetables or medium-hard cheeses, which is a great way of adding decorative touches to salads and stir-fries. Your guests will think you spent hours in preparation. For dealing with large quantities of tomatoes, squash, or firm fruits, the 6-millimeter-thick slicing disk is the way to go. Each disk is dishwasher-safe, and of course, needs careful handling--they are supersharp, so watch your fingers! --Jill Lightner

Customer Reviews

Fills out the set perfectly
The standard set is invaluable, but there are still many things I couldn't do. With this 3-piece set, I now have almost every blade needed to gourmet my way to food heaven. The julienne disk lets me do things I lack the patience for, while the thick blade lets me slice things like lettuce and tomatoes at a decent thickness, rather than the skimpy 4mm standard blade.

The fine grater is a good touch for finesse. Try doing a whole tangerine or orange by hand without scraping your fingertips and cursing the night. Blood orange never was a good color anyway.

Seriously, the set is a nice addition to the standard set of Cuisinart blades.

The julienne disc has limited value
I bought this hoping to use it to prepare Matchstick-size vegetables. The julienne disc included in this set does nothing different than the shredding disc which comes standard with the machine.It works fine on harder foods like potatoes and carrots(rendering a "julienne" very similar to a shred.) It absolutely pulverizes any water-based vegetables like peppers & squash. I experimented extensively with different foods and I only got the perfect julienne on very hard foods.

The blades are also difficult to clean.

For my money, I prefer the "french fry disc". But, if you like shoestring fries, this is the disc for you.

Good product, poor documentation
Discs are very good, excellent quality. However, you do need to know how to use them, as the documentation with them is poor.
