Food Processing Tips

USING THE
MULTIPURPOSE BLADE

To chop fresh fruits or vegetables:

Peel, core, and/or remove seeds. Cut food
in 2.54 to 3.81 cm 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
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:

Insert chef’s bowl (5KFPM776) into the
work bowl. Using the shredding disc,
shred hot, cooked potatoes. Remove
the chef’s bowl with potatoes. Place
multipurpose blade in work bowl, and add
shredded potatoes, softened butter, milk,
and seasonings. Pulse 3 to 4 times, 2 to 3
seconds each time, until milk is absorbed
and texture is smooth. Do not overprocess.
For food processor models other than the
5KFPM776, the work bowl may be used
for the entire process.

To chop dried (or sticky) fruits:

The food should be cold. Add 30 g (
flour from recipe per 60 g (

1

1

⁄4 cup)

⁄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 small 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 375 g (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.

To chop cooked or raw meat, poultry
or seafood:

The food should be very cold. Cut in

2.54 cm pieces. Process up to 450 g 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 3.8 to 5 cm 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:

Food Processing Tips

To shred
spinach and
other leaves:

Stack leaves. Roll
up and stand
up in feed tube.
Process, using
even pressure

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.

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.

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.

To slice or shred items that are
“pear-shaped” like sweet potatoes,
eggplant and squash:

Position food horizontally so that the
bigger/fatter side is to the left of the feed
tube when you are facing the unit. Process,
using even pressure on the food pusher.

USING THE DOUGH BLADE

The dough blade is specially
designed for mixing and

kneading yeast dough quickly
and thoroughly. One minute or less of
operating time is all that is needed to form
a dough ball. Processing longer than one
minute will make the dough come apart
and stick to the sides of the bowl. For the
best results, do not knead recipes which use
more than 250 to 375 g (2-3 cups) of flour.

USING THE EGG WHIP

To make soft egg white
meringue:

Place 3 egg whites and

1

⁄4 teaspoon cream
of tartar in work bowl fitted with egg
whip. Process until foamy, about 30 to 45
seconds. With processor running, slowly
add 40 g (
feed tube. Process until stiff peaks form,
about 2

1

⁄3 cup) sugar through the small

1

⁄2 to 3 minutes. Stop processor as

necessary to check texture of mixture.

To whip cream:

Place heavy cream in work bowl fitted
with egg whip. Process 30 seconds. With
processor running, add 2 tablespoons
powdered sugar through the small feed
tube. Process just until soft peaks form,
about 30 to 40 seconds. Stop processor as
necessary to check texture of mixture. With
processor running, add

1

⁄2 teaspoon vanilla,
if desired, through the small feed tube.
Process just until mixed. Do not overprocess.

Helpful Hints

1. 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

English

remove food from the blade.

2. When cutting and packing food items
in the ultra wide mouth feed tube, do
not exceed the maximum fill line. This
will permit the pusher to engage the
interlock and the unit to operate.

3. 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

12. When chopping, the work bowl
should be no more than
Use the mini bowl for up to 237 ml
(1 cup) of liquid or 63 g (

1

⁄3 to 1⁄2 full.

1

⁄2 cup) solids.

4. 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.

5. To capitalize on the speed of the
processor, drop ingredients to be
chopped through the small feed tube
while the processor is running.

6. 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.).

7. Soft and medium-hard cheese may
spread out or roll up on the shredding
disc. To avoid this, shred only well­chilled cheese.

8. 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.

9. 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 overchopping.
Process nuts and fruits, using short
pulses, until blended with other
ingredients. Do not overprocess.

10. When shredded or sliced food piles
up on one side of the bowl, stop the
processor and redistribute the food
using a spatula.

11. When food quantity reaches the
bottom of a slicing or shredding disc,
remove the food.

12. 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.

13. Organize processing tasks to minimize
bowl cleanup. Process dry or firm
ingredients before liquid ingredients.

14. 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.

20

Helpful Hints

15. After removing the work bowl cover,
place it upside down on the counter.
This will help keep the counter clean.

16. To remove the contents of the work
bowl without removing the multi­purpose blade, grasp the work bowl
from the bottom and place one finger
through the center opening to hold the
blade in place. Then remove food from
the bowl and blade with a spatula.
