Before first use

Before using your Breville Sous Chef™ Food Processor, become familiar with all the parts. Remove all packaging materials and promotional labels, being careful when handling the processing blades and discs as they are very sharp. Wash the processing

bowl, processing lid and other attachments in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. (Refer to cleaning, care and storage section).

1.Place the motor base on a dry, level work surface. Place the processing bowl on to the motor base with the handle in line with the 'ALIGN HANDLE' graphic on the motor base. (See Figure 1).

Fig. 1

2.Turn the processing bowl clockwise until the handle aligns with the 'TURN TO LOCK' graphic. The processing bowl should be securely locked into position. (See Figure 2).

3.If using a disc, first assemble the disc spindle onto the bowl drive coupling. Orientate the disc so that the side you wish to use is facing upwards. Hold the disc by the center plastic moulding and position the central hole above the disc spindle. Push down firmly until fitted correctly. (Please note that these discs only fit the larger processing bowl).

Fig. 3

4.If using the processing blades, carefully

grasp either the S Blade™, dough blade or mini processing blade using the central plastic support and position it over the bowl drive coupling and push down until inserted correctly.

If using the mini processing blade, ensure the mini processing bowl is assembled into the large bowl first.

BFP800XL_IB_B11_FA.indd 15

27/05/11 4:59 PM

PAB geSICheaderFOOD PROCESSING..... TECHNIQUES

The food processor can process food in a variety of ways depending on which blade or disc you choose.

Chopping with the micro-serrated S Blade™

The Micro-serrated universal S Blade™ chops raw and cooked food to the consistency required, from coarsely chopped to minced. For many large processing tasks, the microserrated S Blade™ will cut the processing time needed to achieve the desired results. The result depends on the type of food and how long the food is processed. Always remember to place the S Blade™ into the processing bowl before adding the food.

NOTE

To avoid over-processing, check the consistency frequently. For many processing tasks we recommend to use the PULSE button, as it may only take a few seconds to fully process the food to the desired consistency. If necessary, press the POWER/OFF button, unlock the lid and use the

spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even processing.

Raw Vegetables, Fruit and Cooked Meats

Trim and cut food into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes. Process no more than 8 cups at a time using the PULSE button at 1-2 second intervals until chopped to desired size or consistency.

Spanish Onion wedges

Chopped Spanish Onion

Raw meat, chicken and fish

Trim and cut food into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes. Ensure all bones are removed. Chill well until firm as this will help to cut through the food more readily. Process no more than 2 1/4 pounds (or 1kg of raw meat for no more than 30 seconds at a time) using the START/ PAUSE button until chopped or minced to desired size or consistency.

Cubed Beef

Garlic, chili and ginger

For garlic, peel cloves and leave whole. For chili, leave whole (remove seeds for milder chili). For ginger, peel and cut into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes. Process until chopped to desired consistency. Store chopped garlic or chili mixed with a little vegetable oil in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 1 week. Mix ginger with a little Sherry. If adding garlic, chili or ginger to other ingredients, drop whole pieces down the

small feed chute while the motor is running.

Nuts

Process no more than 6 cups shelled nuts at a time using the PULSE button at 1-2 second intervals until chopped to desired size.

Whole chilies

Chopped chilies

Herbs

Wash and dry herbs thoroughly. Remove any coarse stems. Process no more than 2 bunches (approx. 4 cups) at a time using the PULSE button at 1-2 second intervals until chopped to desired size or consistency.

Shelled peanuts

Chopped peanuts

Dried fruit

As dried fruit can be sticky, place in freezer for about 10 minutes (this prevents the fruit sticking to the blades). Process no more than 4 cups at a time using the PULSE button at 1-2 second intervals until chopped to desired size or consistency.

NOTE

If chopping fruit to add to cake batter, process the fruit before making the batter, adding a little flour from recipe quantity to prevent fruit from sticking to the S Blade™ processing blade.

Use adjustable Slicing Disc with Disc Spindle.

The adjustable slicer disc slices raw fruit and vegetables to a consistent thickness, with 24 settings from fine (0.33mm) to thick (8.0mm).

For many large processing tasks, the adjustable slicing disc will cut the processing time needed to achieve the desired results. The result depends on the type of food and how the food is positioned into the feed chute.

For smaller foods, the small feed chute provides greater control for adjustable slicing.

To adjust slicing height, hold the adjustable slicing disc outer edge with one hand, turn the adjustment dial on the underside of the disc to set the height. An arrow graphic indicates the height to which the blade is set. Place the adjustable slicer on the disc spindle in the processing bowl. Close the lid and insert the large pusher to operate.

NOTE

There may be slight variation in slice thickness depending on the food being processed and force applied with the feed chute pusher.

Do not overfill the feed chute before slicing. The pusher will not activate the unit if the chute is overfilled. A MAX level graphic indicates the maximum fill level.

WARNING

Adjustable Slicing Disc blade is sharp, keep hands away from the blade.

NOTE

Placing items to the far left in the large feed chute provides stability and helps to make more accurate slices.

Shredding and Grating with the

Reversible Shredding Disc

NOTE

Use adjustable Slicing Disc with Disc Spindle.

Both thick and thin grating can be achieved by using the coarse/fine shredding disc. Use one side of the disc for coarse shredding and the other side for fine shredding. Carefully turn over the disc so that the process required is facing upwards.

Slicing and shredding

1.Place the desired cutting disc onto the disc spindle in the processing bowl.

2.Prepare food as directed in the following food categories or recipes.

3.Pack food into the feed chute as directed in the following food categories. For smaller size food leave the large pusher in place and use the small pusher instead. The food should fit snugly so it is supported upright in the feed chute, but not so tight that it prevents the food from easily moving down the feed chute when guided by the food pusher.

4.Process using the START/PAUSE button while at same time, gently guiding the food down the feed chute using the food pusher. Never force the food down as this will damage the discs. Apply light pressure for soft foods such as tomatoes and

bananas; medium pressure for firmer foods such as potatoes and apples; and firm pressure for hard foods such as Parmesan cheese and deli meats such as salami.

5.Repeat this process until all food has been sliced, shredded or grated.

Round fruit and vegetables

Prepare fruit or vegetables by washing or peeling, and coring or seeding (if necessary). For small fruit and vegetables (e.g. kiwi fruit, roma tomatoes), trim one end so the food sits flat in the feed chute.

For large fruit and vegetables (e.g. apples), cut in half (if required) to fit in the feed chute. Pack into the feed chute from left to right with the adjustable slicing disc at the slot number required for the desired thickness.

Tomatoes in chute

Sliced tomatoes

Apples in chute

Long fruit and vegetables

Prepare fruit or vegetables by washing or peeling. First cut the food to fit the length of the feed chute (no more than 5 ½ inches; (14cm). If food fits without the need to cut, trim one end so that it sits flat in feed chute

or the food should be able to lie on the side if you require a long thin slice of vegetable or fruit.

Pack food vertically or horizontally, into the feed chute with cut side facing disc.

The small feed chute can be used for long vegetables such as carrots and zucchini.

Zucchini in chute

Sliced zucchini

WARNING

When slicing and shredding, always use the food pusher to guide food down the feed chute. Never put your fingers or spatula into the feed chute. Always wait for the disc to stop spinning before removing the lid.

Leafy vegetables

For cabbage, wash and shake off excess water. Cut into wedges to fit feed chute. For lettuce, separate leaves, wash and dry thoroughly, then roll up and pack vertically into feed chute. Slice or shred.

NOTE

Slicing or shredding is not recommended for spinach. To process spinach, wash and dry thoroughly, tear into pieces and use mini chopping blade or S Blade™.

Cheese

Caution should always be taken when processing cheese in a food processor.

For soft cheese such as Mozzarella and Bocconcini, partially freeze, until firm otherwise it will jam in the disc. For hard cheese such as Parmesan, check first that it is not too hard otherwise it will damage the disc - the cheese should slice easily with a sharp knife.

For round cheese such as Mozzarella and Bocconcini, slice one end and pack into the feed chute so the flat end is facing the disc.

For wedge-shaped cheese, pack 2 pieces side by side into chute to form a rectangular shape (one piece with tip facing down, other piece with tip facing up). Slice or shred.

Deli meats

Cut the meat to fit the length of the feed chute (no more than 5 ½ inches (14cm)).

Pack into the feed chute with the cut side facing disc.

Raw meat

Partially freeze trimmed meat that has been cut to fit the feed chute until firm. Recommended cuts: pork and lamb fillet, thickly cut boneless sirloin. Pack into the feed chute vertically. Slice.

Chocolate

Break block of chocolate into pieces. Chill until firm. Pack into the small feed chute. Shred.

Julienne disc

NOTE

Use Julienne Disc with Disc Spindle.

The Julienne disc is positioned on the disc spindle in the main processing bowl and cuts food into long thin strips. Common items

to be julienned include carrots, zucchini, potato and celery. For longer strips, use the large feed chute and lie the foods down horizontally. For shorter “match stick” size strips use the small feed chute and pusher.

French Fry/Vegetable	Whipping with the
Stick Disc	EMULSIFYING DISC

NOTE

Use French Fry/Vegetable Disc with Disc Spindle.

The french fry/vegetable stick cutting disc is positioned on the disc spindle in the main processing bowl and cuts food into long chunky lengths. This disc is used primarily for potatoes, however, a variety of foods can be used for this application. If using large potatoes, lie them down in feed chute for extra long strips.

For best results, position the pusher so that firm pressure is applied onto the food to be processed.

Press the START/PAUSE button.

NOTE

When processing with the french fry disc, the last piece of each food processed may become caught in the

cutting blade. This is normal, however, the disc could become unbalanced. To reduce vibration we recommend the pusher is quickly removed from the feed chute after each piece of food is processed so the motor stops quickly. Insert the next piece of food and repeat the process.

With some foods it may be necessary to remove the lid. Remove the disc from the bowl,

and clear the lodged food before proceeding.

The emulsifying disc is positioned on the disc spindle in the main processing bowl and is used to aerate ingredients.

NOTE

When using the emulsifying disc, insert the disc spindle before adding ingredients.

Egg whites

Ensure the processing bowl and emulsifying disc are clean, dry and free of any fat residue.

Place a minimum of 6 egg whites and a pinch of salt into the processing bowl. Process using the START/PAUSE button until egg whites are foamy (about 1 minute). With the motor running, slowly add 1 tablespoon lemon juice through the small small feed chute to help stabilize the egg white foam.

NOTE

The foamed egg whites are not recommended for making meringue (refer to processing tips).

NOTE

When using the emulsifying disc, insert the disc into the processing bowl before adding ingredients.

Milkshakes

Place milk, flavorings and ice-cream into the processing bowl and using the emulsifying disc, process using START/PAUSE button until frothy. To reduce the risk of leaks,

do not use more than 3¼ cups of liquid when processing Milkshakes using the emulsifying disc.’

Whipped cream

Place 2½ cups (600ml) well-chilled cream into the processing bowl and using the emulsifying disc, process using the PULSE button until whipped to desired consistency.

Egg sauces

(Mayonnaise, Hollandaise, Bearnaise)

Using the emulsifying disc, place a minimum of 6 egg yolks or 4 whole eggs into the processing bowl with seasonings and vinegar. Process using START/PAUSE button until mixture is light and creamy (about 2 minutes).

For Mayonnaise: using the S Blade™, with the motor running, slowly add oil through the small feed chute until mixed to desired consistency. Do not exceed ‘Liquid Max’ level.

For Hollandaise or Bearnaise: using the emulsifying disc, with the motor running, slowly add warm, melted butter through the small feed chute until mixed to desired

consistency. Do not exceed ‘Liquid Max’ level.
