TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS | 13

USING THE MULTIPURPOSE BLADE

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

To chop fresh fruits or

vegetables:

Peel, core, and/or remove

seeds. Cut food in 1 to

1½-inch (2.5-3.75 cm) pieces.

Process food to desired size, using Low

speed. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.

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 nely 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

overprocess.

To chop dried (or sticky) fruits:

The food should be cold. Add 1/4 cup

(60 ml) our 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

nely 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

1 or 2 times, 1 to 2 seconds each time.

Pulse more often for ner 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

1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Process up to

1 pound (455 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 1½ to 2-inch (3.75-5 cm)

pieces. Process until ne. For larger pieces,

pulse 2 to 3 times, 1 to 2 seconds each

time. Then process until ne.

To melt chocolate in a recipe:

Combine chocolate and sugar from recipe

in work bowl. Process until nely 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 multipurpose

blade to grate hard cheeses. Cut cheese

in 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Place in work

bowl. Process, using short pulses, until

coarsely chopped. Process continuously

until nely grated. Pieces of cheese can

also be added through the feed tube while

the processor is running.

Cut Hazard

Handle blades carefully.

Failure to do so can result in

cuts.

14 | TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

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 t 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 t feed tube. Process food using rm,

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 t feed tube. Process

using even pressure with the food pusher.

To slice or shred fruits or

vegetables that are long

and relatively small in

diameter, such as celery,

carrots, and bananas:

Cut food to

t 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 t feed tube. Position

in feed tube. Process using even pressure

with the food pusher.

USING A SLICING OR SHREDDING DISC

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

ENGLISH

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS | 15

• To avoid damage to the blade or motor,

do not process food that is so hard or

rmly 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 overll work bowl. For thin

mixtures, ll work bowl up to 1/2 to 2/3

full. For thicker mixtures, ll work bowl

up to 3/4 full. For liquids, ll up to the

maximum level as described on page 12.

When chopping, the work bowl should

be no more than 1/3 to 1/2 full.

• 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 rmer 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 2-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 rst. Add

dry ingredients last. Place nuts and

fruit on top of our mixture to prevent

overchopping. Process nuts and fruits,

using short pulses, until blended with

other ingredients. Do not overprocess.

• 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.

• Use the spatula to remove ingredients

from the work bowl.

• Organize processing tasks to minimize

bowl cleanup. Process dry or rm

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.

• 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.
