I keep my Cuisinart in a closet off the kitchen. It is much too big to keep in a kitchen cupboard. I don't put it in the box it came in, I just set it on top of the box along with the box of cutting blades. Just cover with a towel if you're worried about dust.

Years ago, my dad converted a regular closet to a closet with nice big deep shelves. These are where I store all of my sausge making equipment as well as some canning items, and special baking pans. If you have a spare closet, take out the rod that clothes hook on, and put in some shelving. with about 20 inches of spacing between each

Melissa, they make a storage container available as an accessory. I don't know if it fits the parts for your model, but it's here -

Morz8, that is just the kind of info I was looking for, thank you! I'll have to count how many discs I have...if it's more than three, maybe I'll have to find a little hatbox to hold them, but right now I am leaning toward getting one of these official caddies sometime.

Ken, my boyfriend's house has a closet like that downstairs, and I will be moving a bunch of canned stuff into it since I do so much cooking here. If my processor doesn't end up fitting nicely in the upstairs cabinets, it will go in there too. When I saw the huge empty shelves, I knew they'd be perfect for canning stuff.

Thanks for the replies!

My hsuband and I are starting a remodeling job on our house, so we had to move a lot of our stuff around- I was faced with the same delima with the accessories. I found plastic baskets at the dollar store make great storage! I get like 3 for $1 and can use them anywhere. All of my food processor blades fit in one, and then stack on a shelf above the machine. It is all there, and convenient.

good luck!

I'm planning to build a free standing cabinet for my Kitchenaid mixer. I don't want to haul it out the mixer out to use it. It will reside on top of the cabinet and have a dust cover. The cabinet will have a pair of doors for storage of other stuff below.

If woodworking wasn't one of my hobbies I would buy the cabinet.

Fortunately, my small kitchen has a convenient spot for this cabinet.
