Tips for Great Results

Food Processing Tips

Using the Multipurpose Blade

To chop fresh fruits or vegetables:

Peel, core, and/or remove seeds. Cut food in 1 to 11/2-inch

(2.5-3.75 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 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 over process.

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 nely 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 nish 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 11/2 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 multi-purpose 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.

English

Tips for Great Results

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

t feed tube

vertically or horizontally, and pack feed tube securely to keep food positioned properly. Process using even pressure. 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.

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. 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.

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.

To shred spinach and other leaves:

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

To shred rm 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.

To cut julienne, or match

stick, strips of vegetables

and fruits using the optional

julienne disc (not included):

Cut food to t feed tube horizontally.

Position food horizontally in feed tube. Process, using even pressure to make plank-like slices. Re-stack slices and position vertically or horizontally in feed tube. Process using even pressure.

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 which use more than 2-3 cups

(475 - 710 ml) of our.

Helpful Hints

• 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 or mini-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 17. When chopping, the work bowl should be no more than 1/3 to 1/2 full. Use the mini-bowl for up to 1 cup (235 ml) of liquid or 1/2 cup (155 g) 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 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 two piece food pusher will prove especially convenient.

English

• 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.

• 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.

Tips and Tricks for Great Results

• Use the spatula to remove ingredients from the work bow.

• 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
