Despite the disclaimers in the instructions for most
food processors with regard to beating egg whites, they
can do it very well.  It does, however, require a special
technique and the addition of a little vinegar (sounds
strange but doesn't affect the taste).  The directions
for exactly how to do it are in Abby Mandel's book
"Cuisinart Classroom".  I've tried it and it works.
Personally, I still like doing it with a wire whisk in
a copper bowl so that I can control the exact degree of
stiffness of the beaten whites.
