TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS USING THE MULTI PURPOSE BLADE
To chop fresh fruits or vegetables:
Peel, core, and/or remove seeds. For more consistent results, cut food in 2.5-3.75 cm pieces. Process food to desired size, using
Pulse or Low speed.
To puree cooked fruits and vegetables (except potatoes):
Add 1/4 cup (60 mL) liquid from recipe per cup (235 mL) of food. Process food using short pulses until finely chopped. Then
process continuously until reaching desired texture.
To prepare mashed potatoes: Shred hot cooked potatoes using the shredding disc. Exchange shredding disc for multipurpose
blade. Add softened butter, milk, and seasonings. Pulse three to four times, 2 to 3 seconds each time, until potatoes are smooth
and milk is absorbed. Do not overprocess.
To chop dried (or sticky) fruits: The food should be cold. Add 1/4 cup (60 mL) flour from recipe per 1/2 cup (120 mL) dried fruit.
Process fruit, using short pulses, until reaching desired texture.
To finely chop citrus peel: With sharp knife, peel colored portion (without white membrane) from citrus. Cut peel in small strips.
Process until finely chopped.
To mince garlic or to chop fresh herbs or small quantities of vegetables: With processor running, add food through the feed
tube. Process until chopped. For best results, make sure work bowl and herbs are very dry before chopping
To chop nuts or make nut butters: Process up to 3 cups (710 mL) of nuts to desired texture, using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds
each time. For a coarser texture, process smaller batches, pulsing one or two times, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Pulse more often
for finer texture. For nut butters, process continuously until smooth. Store in refrigerator. NOTE: Processing nuts and other hard
foods may scratch the surface finish on the inside of the bowl.
To chop cooked or raw meat, poultry, or seafood: The food should be very cold. Cut into 2.5 cm pieces. Process up to 455g at a
time to desired size, using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each time.
To make bread, cookie, or cracker crumbs: Break food into 3.75-5 cm pieces. Process until fine. For larger pieces, pulse two to
three times, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Then process until fine.
To grate hard cheeses, such as Parmesan and Romano: Never attempt to process cheese that cannot be pierced with the tip of
a sharp knife. You can use the multipurpose blade to grate hard cheeses. Cut cheese in 2.5 cm pieces. Place in work bowl.
Process, using short pulses, until coarsely chopped. Process continuously until finely grated. Pieces of cheese can also be added
through the feed tube while the processor is running.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS USING THE SLICING/SHREDDING BLADE
To slice or shred fruits or vegetables that are long and relatively small in diameter, such as celery and carrots. Cut food to fit
feed tube vertically or horizontally, and pack so that the food is supported. It should not be packed so tightly that it cannot move
freely. Process using even pressure with the food pusher, or use the small feed tube in the two-piece food pusher. Position food
vertically in the tube and use the small food pusher to process food.
To slice or shred fruits and vegetables that are round, such as onions and apples. Peel, core, and remove seeds. Cut in halves
or quarters to fit feed tube. Position in feed tube. Process using even pressure with the food pusher
To slice or shred fruits and vegetables that are small, such as strawberries, mushrooms, and radishes: Position food vertically
or horizontally in layers within the feed tube. Fill feed tube in order to keep food positioned properly. Process using even
pressure with the food pusher, or use the small feed tube in the two-piece food pusher. Position food vertically in the tube and
use the small food pusher to process food.
To slice uncooked meat or poultry, such as stir-fry meats: Cut or roll food to fit feed tube. Wrap and freeze food until hard to
the touch, 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on thickness of food. Check to be sure you can still pierce food with the tip of a
sharp knife. If not, allow to thaw slightly. Process using even pressure with the food pusher.
To slice cooked meat or poultry, including salami, pepperoni, etc.: Food should be very cold. Cut in pieces to fit feed tube.
Process food using firm, even pressure with the food pusher.
To shred firm and soft cheeses: Firm cheese should be very cold. For best results with soft cheeses, such as mozzarella, freeze
10 to 15 minutes before processing. Cut to fit feed tube. Process using even pressure with the food pusher.
TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS USING THE DOUGH BLADE
The dough blade is specially designed for mixing and kneading yeast dough quickly and thoroughly. For the best results, do not
knead recipes that use more than 3 cups (710 mL) of flour. Use Pulse to mix the dry ingredients, then High when adding liquids.
