What is the "liquid fill max" (NOT the total bowl capacity) for this food processor? Don't want a mess on the counter when making soup.

On the 14 Cup unit, it's about 10 cups. It only leaks a few drops when I overfill it. Liquids go up into the blade shaft also, so make sure to check that when cleaning.

Liquid fill max is a "fluid" answer. Excuse the pun!! It really depends on the thickness (viscosity) of the fluid. If thin, I would go about 60%; thick 75%. Depending on solids, pulse first and then run. The general rule is that fluid capacity is anout half of solids, so 7 cups would be the benchmark. However, the Elite has a great seal (one of its' features). I usually go with 3/4 and have never had a problem. Hope this helps.

Hmmmmm.... I don't know if I can answer that, completely accurately. About 2/3 full seems about right. I haven't had any huge issues with that, as long as the liquids are relatively cool when you process them, or you start will small pulses.

I have not done that yet BUT EVERYTHING I did for our Thanksgiving turned out great. The Food Processor part was GREAT. Sorry I could not answer your question but hope I helped.

The blender has a 5 cup capacity (holds 7 cups) and the food processor has a 4 cup capacity (holds less than 6 cups). So that is why you have to make smaller bread recipes. I had never looked at the cup marks before. It is fine for preparing food for freezer and canning during gardening season. I am well pleased at 6 months ownership.

It has a maximum fill of 3 quarts and has the max fill line stamped in the pan, you can use less depending how much food you're deep frying.

I think the big jar is 1 liter capacity. The mixer rotation blades (white plastic) broke and the mixer is useless now. I would suggest using extreme care when using the mixer.

I returned my blender after two or three soup efforts as the heating element failed. If I remember correctly the plastic thing is not long enough to reach the blades and it is used to push material down into the blender. I am not for sure as I purchased a ninja blender and simply cook my soup on the stove now. You may have better luck than I did.

It never really turns out the way it is in the picture but if you pulse the processor for just a few seconds then open it and stir the large pieces towards the blade and do it again that will help get all of the pepper or onion without keeping the processor on so long that it turns to mush... I hope that makes sense. I think that goes for all processors though.

The All Clad Immersion Blender has a stainless steel shaft and sharp blades. It would be fine for heavy soups. I wouldn't recommend blending ice with it.

no wrong application the food processor attachment is better utilized for this application. You cant get peanut butter from bottom of blender out cleaning would be nightmare

No, it goes about 2/3 of the way up the bowl. It can limit how full you can fill the bowl but if it went all the way to the top the attachments wouldn't fit inside. It's actually the same bowl as the similar size Cuisinart food processor. The main difference is that the motor is stronger and the motor shaft (where the attachments attach) is metal and not plastic.

no room for stirring, I added 5 quarts of water and it was close to overflowing, about 3/8 inch from the top

I just use a bowl that fits, so that the food processor sits on it comfortably without wobbling. I didn't have to go and buy a special bowl, I used a regular mixing one.

Its a 10 cup bowl but I have never measured 10 cups of liquid in it. I use it mainly for making salsa and chopping.

I have not tried that, but if the bowl is not filled more than 1 1/2 cups, and kept level, there should not be any problems. What I would do is freeze the soup at 1 1/2 cups full with the lid on, put it in the lunch box frozen, and let it thaw to lunchtime and additionally defrost and heat. In other words, if any container is over filled and frozen, the ice expansion, alone, can lift the lid from its optimum sealed position and leak.

A "watery gruel" is an entirely appropriate outcome for this machine's "porridge" setting. It's meant for soup. Now the way to create the best damn bowl of McCann's you will ever likely set spoon to is to use the porridge setting but forget the lines. Use 1 part grain to 2½ parts water. Feel free to dump in a handful of plump flame raisins, a pinch of salt, a shake of apple pie seasoning and a dash of vanilla. Mornings will never be the same ...

I have no idea. I have the 12 cup food processor. I bought the egg whip but have not used it yet

Sorry to hear that.....because I do a lot of 'canning' I can guess that you did NOT leave enough 'head' room or space for the unit to create the pressure it needed to process. Most units require that it be filled not more than 1/2 way.....just like a fryer....you need room for the expansion. Hope it didn't make too much mess in the kitchen and you were able to save the contents (what were you making ?) Mine stopped working after less than a year of use (I used it maybe 5 or 6 times) .....returned it.....however, when it was working, it did great. Not sure I'm going to get another just yet. Hope this was helpful.
