Continued on next page

Food Processing Tips

To slice or shred round fruits and vegetables, such as onions, apples, and green peppers:

Peel, core, and remove seeds. Cut in

ENGLISH

halves or quarters to fit feed tube. Position in feed tube. Sometimes it’s easier to remove the work bowl cover and insert large food items into the feed tube from the bottom rather than the top. Replace work bowl cover. Process using even pressure.

To slice or shred small fruits and vegetables, 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.

To shred spinach and other leaves:

Use the slicing side of the disc. 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.

Helpful Hints

WARNING

Cut Hazard

Handle blades carefully.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

1. Do not process food that is so hard or

firmly frozen that it cannot be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Hard food can cause damage to the blade or motor. If a piece of hard food, such as carrot, becomes wedged or stuck on the blade, stop and unplug the processor. Remove the blade and gently remove food from the blade.

2. Do not overfill work bowl or mini

bowl. For thin mixtures, fill work bowl

up to

⁄2 to 2⁄3 full. For thicker mixtures, fill work bowl up to fill up to the maximum level as described on page 11. For chopping, the work bowl should be no more

than

⁄3 to 1⁄2 full. Use the mini bowl

for up to 1 cup (235 ml) of liquid or

⁄2 cup (120 ml) solids.

3. Position the slicing disc so that the cutting surface is just to the right of the feed tube. This allows the blade a full rotation before contacting the food.

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

5. 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-texture foods (zucchini, potatoes, etc.), and firmer pressure for harder foods (carrots, apples, hard cheese, partially frozen meats, etc.).

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

⁄4 full. For liquids,

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. When shredded or sliced food piles

up on one side of the bowl, stop the processor and redistribute the food using the spatula.

10. When sliced or shredded food in

the work bowl reaches the bottom of the disc, remove the food.

11. 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.

12. Organize processing tasks to

minimize bowl cleanup. Process dry or firm ingredients before liquid ingredients.

13. To clean ingredients from the

multipurpose blade quickly and easily, empty the work bowl, replace the lid, and pulse for 1 to 2 seconds to spin the blade clean.

14. After removing the work bowl

cover, place it upside down on the counter. This will help keep the counter clean.

15. 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 the spatula.
