HINTS & TIPS FOR USING YOUR NINJA®
MASTER PREP® PROFESSIONAL
• The chopping blades can be used for
chopping meat, fish, vegetables, cheese
etc.
• For mincing, chopping and pureeing,
increase the length of pulses.
• For coarse chopping, use short, quick
pulses and monitor food texture.
• Pre-cut larger pieces to make them fit
into the Master Prep
When chopping hard foods (e.g. meat,
cheese) cut into 1-inch cubes.
• To crush ice into snow, start by using
short pulses to break up large chunks.
Continue until snow is achieved.
