Helpful Hints
• For consistent results, you should try to process pieces of food that are
approximately equal in size. When you break, cut or tear food into
uniform pieces before you begin processing, the finished results will be
more uniform. More consistent processing results are achieved if the
container is not overloaded.
• Pre-cut meat into cubes approximately 1” square. It is best to
process very cold meat (not frozen). Always use the Pulse button in
2 second increments.
• When processing vegetables such as onions, peel and quarter or cut
large vegetables into eighths.
• When processing herbs or garlic cloves, best results are achieved when
using the Mini Bowl (purchased separately). Herbs must be dry prior
to processing.
• The quantities that can be processed within the Processing Bowl will
vary with the density of the mixture.
• When various recipes require dry ingredients such as flour, add them
directly into the Processing Bowl before processing. There is no need
to sift ingredients when using your food processor. Liquid ingredients
may be added while the processor is operating by pouring through the
Feed Tube in the processor cover.
• When processing sauces or semi-liquid ingredients, stop the food
processor and scrape down the container sides with the spatula
provided.
• When slicing, shredding and grating, cut all ingredients to a size that
fits comfortably into the Feed Tube. Pack the feed tube and, while
holding food steady and upright with the food pusher, press down
evenly until all ingredients are sliced or shredded. Do not use excessive
force or you may damage the food processor.
Warning: Never use fingers to push food down the feed tube.
Always use the food pusher.
• For best results when slicing, the Feed Tube should always be packed
firmly to allow each piece of food to support the others. There will
always be a small portion of food left unprocessed between the food
pusher and the blade. When using the Variable Slicing Disc, excessive
force will cause food to be sliced unevenly. Only slight pressure is
needed from the food pusher when using this attachment.
Storing Your Food Processor

• The most important factor for successful slicing and shredding is the
way in which the food is packed into the feed tube. To prepare shorter
slices, pack the food items vertically in the feed tube, see figure 12.
To prepare longer slices, pack food items horizontally in the feed tube,
see figure 13. You can also remove the inner clear plastic core from
the Twin Food Pusher to add liquid ingredients or to process single
carrots, celery or other type of food products. See figure 14.
continued
• For best results when shredding and grating remember that softer
foods such as cheese (cheddar, mozzarella or swiss) should be well
chilled (not frozen) before processing. Harder foods such as Parmesan
or Romano cheese should be at room temperature before processing.
Never attempt to shred or grate cheese that cannot be pierced with a
fork or a knife tip.

Spinach Artichoke Dip
Makes about 2 cups, 4 - 6 servings
Who said dip has to be a trip back to the fifties and a bunch of canned
ingredients blended with cream cheese? Creamy mascarpone, goat
cheese and Parmesan combine with artichokes and spinach to make
this fabulous party dip. All it needs is hot, crusty French bread as an
accompaniment to make a great summer appetizer or hors d’oeuvre.
INGREDIENTS
3 bunches spinach, washed,
stems removed
1 10 - ounce package
frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
1 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup mascarpone cheese
1/3 cup crème fraiche
1/4 cup freshly grated
Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons goat cheese
METHOD
1 In large metal sieve, blanch one bunch of spinach for about 1 minute
in large pot of boiling water. Transfer in sieve to bowl of iced water
and leave for 30 seconds. Remove sieve from water and with the
back of a large metal spoon drain out excess water. Set aside.
Repeat with remaining bunches of spinach.
2 Place artichokes in bowl of your food processor fitted with the S-
Blade. Process for about 5 to 7 seconds or until very coarsely
chopped. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.
3 Add mayonnaise, mascarpone cheese, crème fraiche, Parmesan,
goat cheese, roasted garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Process for
another 5 seconds or until combined.
4 Add blanched spinach and pulse a few times or until well blended.
The dip should still have some texture and not be completely
smooth. Spoon into a shallow ovenproof dish.
5 In small bowl combine all ingredients for topping and sprinkle over
spinach dip. Bake in a 350 degrees F oven for about 15 to 20
minutes or until heated through and top is golden brown. Serve hot
surrounded by slices of crispy French bread or crackers.

Potato Latkes
Serves 12
The ever-popular potato pancakes of the Jewish kitchen make a
wonderful appetizer, side dish, or even a vegetarian main course.
INGREDIENTS
8 medium baking potatoes, peeled
1 medium onion, peeled
Lemon juice
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Peanut oil
Freshly grated nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
Watercress, for garnish
Caviar, for garnish (optional)
Applesauce, for garnish (optional)
Crème fraiche or sour cream, for garnish
METHOD
1 With the shredding blade large side up in your food processor shred
the potatoes and onions and transfer into a large mixing bowl. Toss
them with a squeeze of lemon juice. A handful at a time, squeeze out
as much liquid as possible from the shreds.
2 In another mixing bowl, stir together the flour, milk, egg, baking
powder, and nutmeg. Stir this batter into the potatoes and then stir
in the melted butter.
3 Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add an even film
of peanut oil about 1/4 inch deep and, when it is hot, form pancakes
about 1 heaping tablespoonful large, spreading out and smoothing
the top surface with the back of the spoon. When the undersides are
golden brown, about 3 minutes, use a metal spatula to flip the
pancakes over and cook until their other sides are browned.
4 Serve the pancakes as a side dish or appetizer, garnished with
watercress. If serving as an appetizer, also accompany the pancakes
with your choice of caviar or applesauce, along with some crème
fraiche or sour cream.
