I can't get the top offf my mini food processor?!

Question:

I can't get the top offf my mini food processor?

Can someone help? I pureed bananas in my Cuisinart mini prep food processor. Now I cannot get the top off. It's the kind of top that twists and locks in. For some reason the plastic pieces that lock it in are stuck. Maybe I washed it in the dishwasher too many times (?). Anyways, does anyone have any suggestions for getting the top off?

I have one too, and this is my chief complaint. Try running hot water over the lock part and see if it helps. If not, a bit of vegetable oil (or any oil for that matter) should loosen things up. Don't twist too hard or the plastic might crack.

Good Luck!
