Cuisinart DLC-843TX 3mm Medium Slicing Disc for 7- and 11-Cup Processors

I was hesitant to spend the money for this disc since my Cuisinart came with a 4mm slicing disc and I had already bought a 2mm disc. The thicker disc is great for a variety of uses which is probably why it ships as standard equipment with the food processor but I wanted thinner slices for things like cucumber salad and scalloped potatoes or potato salad. I used the 2mm for years but I was never really happy with it for softer vegetables. The cucumber slices were so thin they would just wilt and lose their crispness and cooked potatoes would frequently fall apart. For these items, the 3mm slicing disc is sheer perfection. The vegetables are thin yet they retain their shape and I am happy that I made this purchase.

I just bought three cuisinart dlc-5 food processors: first one for myself and then later two as gifts. I wanted more flexibility in the range of foods I could process; and as a result click on the Amazon accessory link for a 3mm slicing disc. This disk did not fit my food process.

I returned it, but Amazon was asking me to pay the return freight, as it was "my fault". I disagreed, and am awaiting the final outcome.

Not withstanding the outcome, I looked closer at the other links in order to buy more disks, and I see some of the other accessory links are not much better. April 2004

I gave my 7 cup Cuisinart that I had for over 10 years to my daughter and just bought a new one. The name itself is an excellent quality and speaks for itself. I am anxious to purchase this discs to add to my others. I highly recommed this because of the good quality made and the many uses you can get at it.
