My mom used to have a Black & Decker food processor from back in the early days of food processors. A too-cold block of cheddar cheese being shoved down the feed chute promptly broke the center spindle that rotated the grating blade.

Bye-Bye Black & Decker. ¬¬

 

That happened to me with a Rival food processor I'd bought, for the princely sum of $40, when I could ill afford it.  (Maybe I used birthday money for it.  It was still a major splurge.) In my case it was parmesan cheese that was too hard for the spindle.  By that time the processor was old enough that the company was out of business and no replacement parts could be had.  I'd gotten my use out of the processor, but I've been much more careful of my Cuisinart to avoid repeating that mistake.
