Food Processing Tips
Tips for Great Results
Using the Multipurpose Blade
To chop fresh fruits or vegetables:
Peel, core, and/or remove seeds.
Cut food in 2.5-3.75 cm
(1 to 11/2-inch) pieces. Process food to desired size, using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.
To puree cooked fruits and vegetables (except potatoes):
Add 60 ml (1/4 cup) liquid from recipe per 235 ml (1 cup) of food. Process food, using short pulses, until finely chopped. Then process continuously until reaching desired texture. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.
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 3 to 4 times, 2 to 3 seconds each time, until smooth and milk is absorbed. Do not over process.
To chop dried (or sticky) fruits:
The food should be cold. Add 60 ml (1/4 cup) flour from recipe per 120 ml (1/2 cup) 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 750 ml (3 cups) of nuts to desired texture, using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each time. For a coarser texture, process smaller batches, pulsing 1 or 2 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 in 2.5 cm (1 inch) pieces. Process up to 455 g (1 pound) at a time to desired size,
using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.
To make bread, cookie, or cracker crumbs:
Break food into 3.75-5 cm (11/2 to 2-inch) pieces. Process until fine. For larger pieces, pulse 2 to 3 times, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Then process until fine.
To melt chocolate in a recipe:
Combine chocolate and sugar from recipe in work bowl. Process until finely chopped. Heat liquid from recipe. With processor running, pour hot liquid through the feed tube. Process until smooth.
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 multi-purpose blade to grate hard cheeses. Cut cheese in 2.5 cm (1 inch) 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.

Food Processing Tips
Using a Slicing or
Shredding Disc
To slice or shred fruits or
vegetables that are long and relatively small in diameter,
such as celery, carrots, and bananas:
Cut food to
fit feed tube vertically or horizontally, and
pack feed tube securely 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 or shred fruits and vegetables that are round, such as onions, apples, and green peppers:
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 spinach and other leaves:
Stack leaves. Roll up and stand up in feed tube. Process using 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.
18
Food Processing Tips
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 which use more than 475 - 750 ml (2-3 cups) of flour.
Helpful Hints
•To avoid damage to the blade or motor, do not process food that is so hard or firmly frozen that it cannot be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. If a piece of hard food, such as a carrot, becomes wedged or stuck on the blade, stop the processor and remove the blade. Gently remove food from the blade.
•Do not overfill work bowl or mini-bowl. For thin mixtures, fill work bowl up to 1/2 to 2/3 full. For thicker mixtures, fill work bowl up to 3/4 full. For liquids, fill up to the maximum level as described on page 17. When chopping, the work bowl should be no more than 1/3 to 1/2 full. Use the mini-bowl for up to 235 ml
(1 cup) of liquid or 155 g (1/2 cup) solids.
•Position slicing discs so the cutting surface is just to the right of the feed tube. This allows the blade a full rotation before contacting the food.
•To capitalize on the speed of the processor, drop ingredients to be chopped through the feed tube while the processor is running.
•Different foods require varying degrees of pressure for best shredding and slicing results. In general, use light pressure
for soft, delicate foods (strawberries, tomatoes, etc.), moderate pressure for medium foods (zucchini, potatoes, etc.), and firmer pressure for harder foods (carrots, apples, hard cheeses, partially frozen meats, etc.).
•Soft and medium-hard cheese may spread out or roll up on the shredding disc. To avoid this, shred only well-chilled cheese.
•Sometimes slender foods, such as carrots or celery, fall over in the feed tube, resulting in an uneven slice. To minimize this, cut food in several pieces and pack the feed tube with the food. For processing small or slender items, the small feed tube in the two piece food pusher will prove especially convenient.
•When preparing a cake or cookie batter or quick bread, use the multipurpose blade to cream fat and sugar first. Add dry ingredients last. Place nuts and fruit on top of flour mixture to prevent over chopping. Process nuts and fruits, using short pulses, until blended with other ingredients. Do not over process.
•When shredded or sliced food piles up on one side of the bowl, stop the processor and redistribute the food using a spatula.
•When food quantity reaches the bottom of a slicing or shredding disc, remove the food.
•A few larger pieces of food may remain on top of the disc after slicing or shredding. If desired, cut these by hand and add to mixture.
•Organize processing tasks to minimize bowl cleanup. Process dry or firm ingredients before liquid ingredients.
•To clean ingredients from the multipurpose blade easily, just empty the work bowl, replace the lid, and pulse 1 to 2 seconds to spin the blade clean.
•After removing the work bowl cover, place it upside down on the counter. This will help keep the counter clean.
<![endif]>English

Food Processing Tips
•Use the spatula to remove ingredients from the work bowl.
•Your Food Processor is not designed to perform the following functions:
-Grind coffee beans, grains, or hard spices
-Grind bones or other inedible parts of food
-Liquefy raw fruits or vegetables
-Slice hard-cooked eggs or unchilled meats.
•If any plastic parts should discolor due to the types of food processed, clean them with lemon juice.
