I plan to do just that first thing tomorrow morning.

 

Let us know what they said.  I've had good experiences with some of them.

Other than for those who can't use a knife, does this offer any advantage?

Breville has not been too  informative about what will work with what

For those of us who have some physical limitations the dicing capability is a godsend.

I think that someone who can't use a knife is sol.

Although I'm capable of using a knife, I really don't like chopping.  I've been known to not make some things because of the amount of chopping involved.  With the dicing blades, that's no longer an issue.

After my phone call this morning with a Breville rep. I learned that I need those items that you got: the adaptability kit as well a  as the dicing kit (two blades).

I will have to return the dicing kit that I got earlier since it's not compile with the Sous Chef Pro.

Glad I go this sorted out.  The Breville rep. was super helpful, tsking a lot of time to get me the right information, I even got as sizeable discount on my parts/

It would have been nice if the correct information was available in the first place, but it has all worked out for you 😀

@lindag and @ElsieD for the references to the Breville videos

 

I think the first on is the best as it details a real world experience rather than a scripted studio film and it was very illustrative of normal usage

Here's a YouTube Breville video that I found quite helpful.

It applies specifically for those who own the Sous Chef 16.

Ive been wondering how a circular motion ( the blade )

 

can also dice.  Im sure Im the only one puzzled.

 

this video shows how this works :

thank you , @lindag

 

I originally though the blade that did the cutting was below the ' dice ' disk.  its not

 

the cutting blade is above the dice disk , slices the food , and must be angled in such a way

 

that it then pushed the food through the dice disk.

 

very cleaver.   

 

won't be tossing and turning so much now.

For the first time I used my Breville Paradice 9 to mince garlivc....whoa!   I must have been living under a rock since I've always done this with a knife.

Never again.  Perfectly chopped onion and garlic to make my favorite Ina Garten Tomato Soup recipe.
