19 Food Processing Tips USING THE MULTIPURPOSE BLADE To chop fresh fruits or vegetables: Peel, core, and/or remove seeds. Cut food in to 2-inch pieces. Process food to desired size, using short pulses, to 2 seconds each time. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary. To puree cooked fruits and vegetables (except potatoes): Add 4 cup liquid from recipe per cup of food. Process food, using short pulses, until finely chopped. Then process continuously until reaching desired texture. 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 overprocess. To chop dried (or sticky) fruits: The food should be cold. Add 4 cup flour from recipe per 2 cup dried fruit. Process fruit, using short pulses, until reaching desired texture. To finely chop citrus peel: With sharp knife, peel colored portion (without white membrane) from citrus. Cut peel in small strips. Combine peel with at least 2 cup granulated sugar from recipe.

Process continuously until finely grated. 7

20 Food Processing Tips USING A SLICING OR SHREDDING DISC To cut julienne, or match stick, strips of vegetables and fruits: Cut food to fit feed tube horizontally. Position food horizontally in feed tube. Process, using even pressure to make plank-like slices. Re-stack 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. Pack feed tube securely in order to keep food positioned properly. Process using even pressure. Or use the small chamber feed tube in the two-piece food pusher. Position food vertically in the chamber and use small food pusher attached to the top of the food pusher to process food ml To slice or shred fruits and vegetables that are round, such as onions, apples, and green peppers: Peel, core, and/or remove seeds. Cut in halves or quarters to fit feed tube. Position in feed tube. Some foods are easier to insert into tube from the bottom. Process, using even pressure. To slice or shred fruits and vegetables that are small, such as strawberries, mushrooms and radishes: Position food vertically or horizontally in layers in feed tube. Fill feed tube in order to keep food positioned properly. Process, using even pressure. Or use the small chamber feed tube in the two-piece food pusher. Position food vertically in the chamber and use small food pusher attached to the top of the food pusher to process food. To shred spinach and other leaves: Stack leaves. Roll up and stand roll 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. 8

21 Food Processing Tips 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 0 to 5 minutes before processing. Cut to fit feed tube. Process, using even pressure. USING THE DOUGH BLADE To make bread: Use the dough blade for bread recipes using 2-3 cups flour. The multipurpose blade can be used for recipes calling for less than 3 cups flour. USING THE EGG WHIP To make egg white meringue: Place 3 egg whites and 4 teaspoon cream of tartar in work bowl fitted with attachment (See page 2). Process until foamy, about 30 to 45 seconds. With processor running, slowly add 3 cup sugar through feed tube. Process until stiff peaks form, about 2 2 to 3 minutes. Stop processor as necessary to check texture of mixture. To whip cream: Place heavy cream in work bowl fitted with attachment (See page 2). Process 30 seconds. With processor running, add 2 tablespoons powdered sugar through feed tube. Process just until soft peaks form, about 30 to 40 seconds. Stop processor as necessary to check texture of mixture. With processor running, add 2 teaspoon vanilla, if desired, through feed tube. Process just until mixed. Do not overprocess. 9

22 Helpful Hints Organize processing tasks to minimize bowl cleanup. Process dry or firm ingredients before liquid ingredients. Do not overfill work bowl or mini bowl. For thin mixtures, fill work bowl up to 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 3. When chopping, the work bowl should be no more than 3 to 2 full. Use the mini bowl for up to cup of liquid or 2 cup solids. To capitalize on the speed of the processor, drop ingredients to be chopped through the feed tube while the processor is running, whether using the work bowl or the mini bowl. Position slicing and shredding discs so that cutting surface is to the right of the feed tube to allow blade a full rotation before contacting food. 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 foods (zucchini, potatoes, etc.), and firmer pressure for harder foods (carrots, apples, hard cheeses, partially frozen meats, etc.). Never process any 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 power base. If a piece of hard food, such as carrot, becomes wedged or stuck on the blade, stop the processor and remove the blade. Carefully remove food from the blade. 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 overchopping. Process nuts and fruits, using short pulses, until blended with other ingredients. Do not overprocess. Sometimes single foods, such as carrots or celery, fall over in the feed tube, resulting in an uneven slice. To minimize this, position food at right side of feed tube, cut food in several pieces and put all pieces in feed tube together to help hold each other in position. Or use the small chamber feed tube in the two-piece food pusher. Position food vertically in the chamber and use small food pusher attached to the top of the food pusher to process food. 20

23 Helpful Hints Create delicious leftover soups or salads with the processor. Use up that last carrot or a couple of green onions. Soft and medium-hard cheeses may spread out or roll up on the shredding disc. To avoid this, shred only well-chilled cheese. When shredded or sliced food piles up on one side of bowl, stop the processor and redistribute food, using a spatula. When food quantity reaches rim of work bowl, remove it. Then continue processing. A few larger pieces of food may remain on top of disc after slicing or shredding. If desired, cut these by hand and add to mixture. To remove mixtures from work bowl, use two or three fingers to steady the post in bowl center; position thumb on outer edge of bowl. This allows you to tip the bowl and scrape with the opposite hand. Your food processor is not designed to perform the following functions: Grind coffee beans, grains, or hard spices. Grind bones or other inedible parts of food. Liquefy raw fruits or vegetables. Slice hard-cooked eggs or unchilled meats. If any plastic parts should discolor due to the types of food processed, simply clean with a light bleach solution, following directions on the bleach container. 2
