Inside the work bowl is another 2.5 cup nesting work bowl for smaller tasks that don’t need the full 12 cups. It’s carefully packed in there between two layers of molded styrofoam and I needed another hand just to slide the box away. You’ll need to wrestle the carton before it hands you over the goodies, though. Even the box is big enough to necessitate handles. Sweet Pea only weighs a few pounds more, but at least I can pick her up with one hand and be confident about it. It has a 12 cup dry/8.5 cup wet capacity, and the whole thing weighs 16.5 lbs. A sexy beast, which is obviously a plus when you’re looking to hire your sous chef. If only I had a Sous Chef to help me out…Įnter the Sous Chef 12 Plus #BFP680 from Breville. I also had Sweet Pea napping on my back in the carrier because I was alone and only have two arms.

Why? Because I didn’t go to culinary school, that’s why. That’s right, it took me 20 minutes to mince up those bad boys. You try making a mushroom duxelle by hand. A few months ago I made G-Ram’s famous Beef Wellington for my parents’ anniversary. Little did I know, I didn’t think we needed one because at the time, we were childless and had the luxury of spending hours upon hours slicing away at veggies and gourds with good old fashioned knives. We got to food processor and said “nah, I don’t think we need one of those.” We followed the token “registry checklist” provided by the department store and went over each item one-by-one. And when I do, I’m a klutz by nature, so I tend to bide my time when I’ve got a knife in hand because fingers.īefore Dan and I got married, we weren’t one of those couples who already had their house all geared up with linens and appliances, so a signing up for a gift registry was actually useful in our case. How do they do it? Obviously, practice of course – but I don’t even cut that much stuff to acquire the necessary hours to perfect my rock-chop. There are a few that I pay more attention to than others, but one thing never fails to impress me – and it’s when someone busts out their fancy schmancy knife skills.
