9 cup or 12 cup? I'm looking at the kitchenaid food processor and cannot decide between the 9 cup and the 12 cup. I have an old popular model and I have no idea how many cups it holds.. as you cannot fill the bowl with water to measure it as it leaks out at the stem opening.. so I don't know the difference and which I need. can anyone tell me the dimensions of the 9 cup and the 12 cup bowls?

It won't hold 9 or 12 cups (depending on the model) of dry crumbs. They will still spill out the center tube, once the chopper is removed!!

There is no way the 9 cup model will hold 9 cups of liquid!!! The center post is too low. If you need 9 cups buy the 12 cup model.

I have the big Cuisinart processor. I looked for a model number, but there was none. I think that this is the model number for my Cuisinart. It is for the biggest older model. There is no lip on the bowl, except at the diametric opposite sides so the top will catch on it and hold. I have ordered it for several of my food processors over the years and it has always fit perfectly. This is a part that breaks easily and often--relative to the rest of the processor. I buy them two at a time and am delighted to have one on hand for when they break totally. (It always breaks when I am in a hurry or entertaining). Hope this helps.

I can only tell you what I found out. This is not the bowl for the larger Cuisinart. The one I needed was 7" across in diameter and I believe that is 14 cups - which was the proper one for me. I had to return this one. Hope this helps.

I own one, and wondered about the same thing. ( The 12 cup one) So I measured how many 8 oz cup it would hold. I found out it holds 7 8 oz cups plus 1/4 cup+ two more ounces. So their cup is smaller than and actual cup. 58 oz divided by 12= 4.83 oz.

I went on line and got a recipe from a competitor for a 9 or 11 cup food processor. I tried the recipe that called for 4 cups of flour (2 loaves of bread). I may not have followed the recipe steps of adding what when??? It was too much and the processor just couldn't get the dough around the bowl. I put the dough into the bread machine and worked it there and it eventually was worked enough. I tried a 2 cup recipe twice and it made excellent dough both times with about a minutes worth of processing. I have the dough raising for the oven now and it is as nice or nicer than the Kitchen Aide mixer,or the bread machine makes. So yes, for my pizza dough recipe (-2 cups flour) and roll or small bread recipes it will be a snap. I may make up some pre-packaged bags for the freezer to take out and fix in a hurry. I was nervous and kept feeling for any heat from the motor, but nothing.

The cooking pot holds 4 cups or 32 oz. with a little room for more. The cup holds 1.5 cups or 12oz. I have used the pot to cook for two people. I bought my boyfriend the GSI nesting bowl and cup set and we share the cook pot easily. Just make sure you have a stable surface for your stove before you fill the pot and you should be good to go. I love this set for camping/solo hikes and hiking with a partner. I have tried them all and wasted a lot of money experimenting with others. I finally found the one I will have for years. I may also buy the minimalist soon too

Good question, and I wish Kitchenaid would respond!I looked on the bottom of the mixing bowl, for its capacity and then backtracked to arrive at what I figured was our model. Ordered that accessory and, luckily, it was correct; if it had not been, the accessories would have been sent back, etc.

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.

This is for a 12 cup. I have a 9 cup and it didn't fit but my sister had the 12 cup so I just it to her. I know confusing.

They make a 4 cup and 5 cup model. I bought the 4 cup. I fill it to the top, but there was or is a 5 cup model that I owned previously. I didn't realize it when I bought it. The cups are only 6 oz, not 8 oz, why they do it that way escapes my logic, but look for the 5 cup model in the descriptions.

I don't have mine anymore. I sent it back because it was tiny. When they say 6 cup they are talking about 3/4 not one cup. Plus brown rice takes up more room so you end up with only about 3 real cups of brown rice when done. I sent it back and got the bigger one and it is fine.

I can't decide between the 11 cup and 14 cup. How much bigger is the 14 cup. If I were doing 6 potatoes (cut in quarters, how many times would I have to empty the bowel in each of them. Thanks

I have a kitchenaid 12 cup carafe but it fits the 14 cup coffee maker. I'd suggest looking for a 10cup carafe and seeing if that'll fit your 12 cup maker.

It would seem that the main differences are size, style and power. The differences are minor. Do you want a model that can hold 6 cups or 5 cups? Do you want 500 watts of power or 600 watts. There's no real difference between them. They're all great models. My recommendation - unless you know you need that 6th cup of space - just get which one you think looks better.

I do not have 12 cup food processor and am unable to give you an answer to the question.

I couldn't understand why this question was asked until did some checking and realized the sizes of the bowls were not included in the description. So I realized I wasn't sure of the largest bowl's size. I did a test--I was able to add 4 quarts of water to the bowl with a little room to spare. I do know it's not 8 quarts. It's still a good size bowl however. Hope this helps.
