PRACTICING WITH FOOD
Try chopping some practice foods
before you process food lo eat. A
zucchini or potalo is a good choice
Fifslcul it into 1 -inch pieces.
Insert Ihe metal blade and pul trie
pieces in the work bowl. Pul on Ihe
cover and Ihe pusher assembly;
press Ihe pusher assembly down to
lock il into olace. Press the lever
down lo PULSE and release it.
Repeat two or Ihree times ard see
what happens. Each time the blade
slops, lei Ihe pieces drop lo the
bottom ol the bowl belore you
pulse again. That puts them in Ihe
path of the blade each time the
motor slarts.
Using the pulse/chopping
technique, you can get an even
chop without danger of over-
processing Check the texture
irequenlly by looking through Ihe
cover ol the work bowl. II you want
a finer chop, keep pressing Ihe
lever down lo PULSE and releasing
it until you achieve the desired
texture. Onions and other food with
a high water content will quickly
end up as a puree unless examined
alter each pulse to make sure it is
not overprccessed.
Try chopping other food, like meat
for hamburger or sausage. Then
make mayonnaise, pastry or bread,
as described in the recipes in this
book.To obtain consistent results:
> Be sure all Ihe pieces you add to
the bowl are about the same size
► Be sure the amount of food is
no larger than recommended.
