Food Processing Tips
WARNING
Cut Hazard
Handle blades carefully.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
USING THE
MULTIPURPOSE
BLADE
To chop fresh fruits or vegetables:
Peel, core, and remove seeds. Cut food in 1- to 11⁄2 -inch (2.5 to 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 finely chopped. Then process continuously until desired texture is achieved. 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) flour from recipe per 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) dried fruit. Process fruit using short pulses until desired texture
is achieved.
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.
14
Food Processing Tips
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 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 into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Process up to 1⁄2 pound (227 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 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 for 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 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 finely grated. Pieces of cheese can also be added through the feed tube while the processor is running.
WARNING
Cut Hazard
Handle blades carefully.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
USING THE REVERSIBLE
SLICING/SHREDDING DISC
To cut julienne or matchstick strips of
vegetables and fruits:
Use the slicing side of the disc. Cut food to fit feed tube horizontally. Position food horizontally in feed tube. Process using even pressure to make plank-like slices. Restack slices and position vertically or horizontally in feed tube. Process using even pressure.
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.
ENGLISH

ENGLISH
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 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.
16
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 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 11. For 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 (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.
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. Continued on next page
