SO MUCH MORE THAN MEAL PREP.
With Precision Processing, you’re not just breaking ingredients down into smaller pieces. You’re bringing them together in ways you hadn’t thought of before. From chopping a clove of garlic to making a pound of dough, big mealtime inspiration can come from a relatively small place.
TIPS FOR YOUR PRECISION PROCESSOR™ BOWL
3
2
1
When loading the bowl, make sure ingredients do not go past the max fill line.
LOADING TIPS
Don’t overfill the bowl or ingredients may not break down evenly. If the ingredients exceed the max fill line, take some out.
Add liquid on top,
as the last ingredient.
Place heavier ingredients, like chicken and root vegetables,
on top of the greens and lettuces for best results.
Place herbs, lettuces, and greens in the bowl first so they are at the bottom.
PREP TIPS
Cut all ingredients to 1 inch or as designated in each recipe.
Peel bell peppers with a vegetable peeler prior to cutting for best performance.
For chopped salads with a lot of lettuce, chop the toppings separately and then layer them on top of a bed of lettuce.
For smoothie bowls and frozen treats, use the following frozen-to-liquid ingredient ratio: 1.5 to 1.
MEASURING MATTERS
Dry and liquid measurements differ slightly, so it’s important to use the right tool for the job. Here’s a simple breakdown of standard measuring cups for dry and liquid ingredients.
DRY
MEASURING CUPS
½
¼
Dry measuring cups are used to measure dry ingredients (like flour and sugar) as well as non-pourable wet ingredients (like peanut butter and sour cream).
Measuring Tip
Over a bowl, overfill the measuring cup. Then level the ingredient with a flat edge, like a butter knife or spatula. This will ensure an exact
measurement and preserve the excess ingredient for future use.
Use dry measuring cups for:
• Flour |
• Cereal |
• Granulated white sugar |
• Peanut butter |
• Brown sugar |
• Sour cream |
• Confectioners’ sugar |
• Yogurt |
• Rice & other grains |
• Cream cheese |
• Bread crumbs |
• Fresh & frozen fruit |
LIQUID
MEASURING CUPS
Liquid measuring cups are used to measure liquid and pourable ingredients.
Measuring Tip
Place the measuring cup on your countertop before filling it. Once filled, bend down so you can see the measurement at eye level (looking at the cup from above will skew your view).
Use liquid measuring cups for:
• Water |
• Milk |
• Oil |
• Juice |
• Vinegar |
• Stock/broth |
