FOODPROCESSINGTECHNIQUES
Emptythe bowl when food reaches the lower rimof the
Cover.Removethe Disc or Blade before removing food
from the bowl.
FoodSize
• When chopping, quarterfoods or cutthem into 1"(25
ram)pieces. Large pieces chop unevenly,with some
particles coarse and others overprocessed. When
slicing or shredding foods which are too large for the
FoodChute,decrease the size byfirst pre-cutting
them by handto fit (K).
• When slicing and shredding, cut long foods to fit the
FoodChute [approximately
3 1/2" (90mm)]for best results.
• When processing long, narrowfoods, packthe Food
Chutesofood will stand upright. Slices will then be
round and even (L).
• Forlong shreds or slices, arrange 2 1/2" (65ram)food pieces horizontally inthe Food
Chute.These are attractive in salads, Orientaldishes, and vegetable dips (M).
FoodQuantity
• Medium-sized loads chop more evenlythan large ones. If your recipe calls for 4
medium onions, for instance, chopthem 2at a time; sothey will beevenly chopped
without being over-processed.
FoodTemperature
• Fruits,vegetables, and medium-hard cheeses should be processed at refrigerator
temperature.
• Parmesan and Romanocheese should be processed at roomtemperature. See
"Processing Cheese" for techniques.

• Whenslicingrawmeat,itshouldbepartiallyfrozen(firm,butnotsolid).
FoodQuality
• Fresh,crisp, and firm fruits and vegetables process best.This does not meanyou
cannot use up an old carrot or a limp piece of celery, butyou should not expect the
same results you would getwith fresh produce.
• Foruniform texture, usea spatula to scrape down the sides ofthe Bowl when nec-
essary.
Liquids
• Hot liquids (not boiling) and hotfoods can be processed inthe Bowl.
Model FPIO00,FPIO00-04
• Forbest results process less than 3 cups (800ml) of liquids at a time. Larger
amounts mayleak between the Coverand the Bowl.
Model FP1011
• Forbest results you can process up to 4 cups (1000ml)of liquids at atime on low
speed; less than 3 cups (800ml)of liquids at atime on high speed. Larger amounts
may leak between the Cover andthe Bowl.
OtherTechniques
• Process dry ingredients first and moist ingredients later when making several differ-
ent recipes or using several different foods in a recipe. This reduces the number of
times the Bowl must bewashed and dried.
• Wash and remove inedible parts offood before processing.
• Chopraw meatwith the KnifeBladeonly. Chopa maximumof 1 Cup(240ml)ata time.
ProcessingCheese
Many kinds of cheese can be processed in this FoodProcessor. However, some pre-
cautions must be observed for good results and to avoid damagingyour machine.
When usingthe Slice/Shred Discto process cheese,always uselight pressure onthe
FoodPusher. Lightpressure meansjust enough force to keepthe FoodPusher in con-
tact with the cheese.
Followthese guidelines for best results when processing cheese.
Soft Cheeses-Cottage,Cream,Ricotta,Brie, Camembert,Liederkranz,Mozzarella.
These cheeses may be processed with the Knife Blade.Temperature is not critical.
Cream cheese will process more easily at roomtemperature. Ofthis group, only
mozzarellacheese may be processed with the shredding side ofthe Disc, but it must
be well chilled. Putit in the freezer 20minutes before shredding. Soft cheeses can-
not be sliced or shredded.
Semi-Soft Cheeses- Blue, Bel Paese, Meunster, Fontina,Monterey Jack. These
cheeses may be processedwith the Knife Blade.Temperature is not critical. How-
ever, if usingthe shredding side of the Disc,these cheeses must be chilled. These
cheeses cannot be sliced.
