"I've always been a huge fan of my food processor (that I've had for over 11 years!), but it's not very big, so I couldn't make big batches of things. After using this Stainless Steel Cuisinart 13-Cup Food Processor ($180), I'm in meal-prep and cooking heaven. It's perfect for making my weekly homemade pumpkin spice cashew butter, for crafting protein balls and vegan cheese sauce, making cauliflower rice, for shredding veggies for hash browns or baked goods, and I love using it to make oat-based cookies or banana bread. My favourite use though is for frozen fruit "nice" cream. You can even get the spiralizer accessory kit ($50) if you're into zoodles. — JS
