BASIC FOOD PROCESSING TECHNIQUES

The food processor can process food in a
variety of ways depending on which blade
or disc you choose.

CHOPPING WITH THE 4 BLADE
PROCESSOR

The 4 blade processor chops raw and
cooked food to the consistency required,
from coarsely chopped to minced. For many
large processing tasks, the four blades will
cut the processing time needed to achieve
the desired results. The result depends on
the type of food and how long the food is
processed. Always remember to place the
4 blade processor into the processing bowl
before adding the food.

NOTE

To avoid over-processing check the
consistency frequently. For many
processing tasks we recommend to
use the PULSE button, as it may only
take a few seconds to fully process
the food to the desired consistency.
If necessary, press the POWER/OFF
button, unlock the lid and use the
spatula to scrape down the sides of the
bowl to ensure even processing.

Raw Vegetables, Fruit and Cooked Meats

Trim and cut food into 2.5cm cubes. Process
no more than 4 cups at a time using the
PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until
chopped to desired size or consistency.

Spanish Onion wedges Chopped Spanish Onion

Raw meat, chicken and fish

Trim and cut food into 2.5cm cubes. Ensure
all bones are removed. Chill well until firm
as this will help the 4 blade processor to cut
through the food more readily. Process no
more than 600g of raw meat at a time using
the START/PAUSE button until chopped or
minced to desired size or consistency.

Cubed Beef Minced Beef

14

PAge heAder.....

BASIC FOOD PROCESSING TECHNIQUES

NOTE

Heavy loads of meat may stall the
motor. This is indicated by the blade
turning slowly and the meat only
moving slowly around the bowl and
not processing. If this occurs remove
the meat and process in two batches.

Garlic, chilli and ginger

For garlic, peel cloves and leave whole.
For chilli, leave whole (remove seeds for
milder chilli). For ginger, peel and cut into

2.5cm cubes. Process until chopped to
desired consistency. Store chopped garlic
or chilli mixed with a little oil in an airtight
container in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Mix ginger with a little sherry. If adding
garlic, chilli or ginger to other ingredients,
drop whole pieces down feed chute while
the motor is running.

Basil leaves Chopped basil

Nuts

Process no more than 250g shelled nuts at a
time using the PULSE button at 1–2 second
intervals until chopped to desired size.

Whole chillies Chopped chillies

Herbs

Wash and dry herbs thoroughly. Remove
any coarse stems. Process no more than
2 bunches at a time using the PULSE button
at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to
desired size or consistency.

Shelled peanuts Chopped peanuts

Dried fruit

As dried fruit can be sticky, place in freezer
for about 10 minutes (this prevents the fruit
sticking to the blades). Process no more
than 4 cups at a time using the PULSE
button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped
to desired size or consistency.

15

PAge heAder.....

BASIC FOOD PROCESSING TECHNIQUES

NOTE

If chopping fruit to add to cake batter,
process the fruit before making the
batter, adding a little flour from recipe
quantity to prevent fruit sticking to 4
blade processor.

Whole dried fruit Chopped dried fruit

Citrus peel

Remove the peel from the fruit using a
vegetable peeler and cut into 2.5cm pieces.
Process no more than 4 cups at a time
together with ½ cup granulated sugar and
using the PULSE button at 1–2 second
intervals until chopped to desired size.

NOTE

The white pith between the skin and
citrus flesh is bitter, so carefully
remove the citrus peel ensuring the
white pith remains on the fruit.

Hard boiled eggs

After cooking eggs to hard boiled stage,
allow to cool then remove shells and cut
eggs in half. Process no more than 12 eggs
at a time using the PULSE button at 1–2
second intervals until chopped to desired
size or consistency.

Soft breadcrumbs

Break stale bread into chunks (fresh bread
will stick to blades). Process no more than
4 cups at a time using the PULSE button
at 1–2 second intervals until crumbed to
desired consistency.

NOTE

For best results when making bread
crumbs, add one slice at a time.

NOTE

700g pkt sliced bread yields
approximately 10 cup soft
breadcrumbs. Freeze in one cup
portions for later use.

Dried breadcrumbs

Break bread into chunks and toast in oven
until golden and crisp. Do not over brown.
Process no more than 4 cups at a time using
the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals
until crumbed to desired consistency.

Biscuit Crumbs

Break biscuits into quarters, measure
quantity and place into processing bowl.
Process no more than 4 cups at a time using
the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals
until crumbed to desired consistency.

NOTE

Sweet or savory biscuit crumbs can
be used as an alternative to pastry for
sweet or savory pies.
