Blade and Disc Holder
If you want to hold accessories in one place, you can buy this useful blade and disc holder. With transparent lid locks, made of high-impact plastic and optimally sized, it can hold steel blade, dough blade, detachable disc stem, and three cutting discs. Really practical, isn’t it? And safe too. It has a safe-lock system which prevents that, for example, your kid takes a blade and cut itself. A locking device must be pulled out and twisted 90 degrees to access the cutting tools, and it automatically relocks when the lid is closed. Also, blades cannot be accessed via the open bottom, and disks can only be removed through the locking top.
Fruit, Vegetable and French Fry Disc
If you want uniform vegetable square strips than this blade is perfect for you. This applies for fruit and French fry too. This stainless-steel blade has a 6-1/4-Inch in diameter and fits Cuisinart DLC-7 series food processors. It is dishwasher safe. Be careful when handling, because blades are very sharp.
Large Feed Tube
If you want a larger feed tube you can replace a lid and buy this one with an extra-large tube. It is compatible with all the Cuisinart DLC-8: DFP-11, DLC-8S, DLC-8SY series and incompatible with DLC-877BGTXT. For the DLC-877BGTX-1 and DLC-877BGTXT-1 are not the same parts, so check if it fits. If a part ends in “T”, the other parts must also end in “T”. For the model DLC-877BGTX-1 fits only with a work bowl DLC-865AGTX-1. So be careful. Check twice which model you have.
Frequently asked questions
Can this knead enough dough to make a decent size loaf?
The opinions are divided. Some customers claim that it cannot and some say it can. The first group of customers says that it only can make a pizza dough with up to 3 cups of flour. The bigger dough stalls and lifts the blade, they state. However, another group of customers says that made a great loaf in this food processor. It only takes a minute to form a kneaded ball. In either case, if you plan to bake large batches of bread, a stand mixer would be more suitable for you.
Which accessories are included with the Cuisinart DLC-8SY Pro?
This model includes all that you need for preparing a variety of food. You will get the mixing bowl with the feed tube lid, a shorter lid for storage, two shredding disks with the extension arm, the slicing blade, a dough blade, and a scraper.

Is the Cuisinart DLC-8SY Pro quiet?

Can I use my old blades with the Cuisinart DLC-8SY Pro?
