16

Food Processing Tips
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.
To slice cooked meat or poultry,
including salami, pepperoni, etc.:
Food should be very cold. Cut in pieces
to fit feed tube. Processfood using firm,
even pressure.
To shred firm and soft cheeses:
Firm cheese should be very cold. For
best results with soft cheeses, such as

Process, using even pressure.
US,.GTHEDOUGH BLADE
..................... The dough blade isspecially
designed for mixing and
kneading yeast dough quickly and
thoroughly. For the best results, do not
knead recipes which use more than
2-3 cups (475 - 710 ml) of floun
Helpful Hints
Cut Hazard
Handle blades carefully.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
1. To avoid damage to the blade or
motor, do not process food that is so
hard or firmly frozen that it cannot be
pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. If
a piece of hard food, such asa carrot,
becomes wedged or stuck on the
blade, stop the processor and remove
the blade. Gently remove food from
the blade.
2. Do not overfill work bowl or mini bowl.
Forthin mixtures,fill work bowl up to
_ to _ full. Forthicker mixtures,fill work
bowl up to 3Afull. For liquids, fill up to
the maximum levelas described on
page 11. When chopping, the work
bowl should be no more than _ to _ full.
Usethe mini bowl for up to 1cup
(235 ml) of liquid or _ cup (155 g) solids.
3. Position slicing discs so the cutting
surface is just to the right of the feed
tube. This allows the blade a full
rotation before contacting the food.
4. Tocapitalize on the speed of the
processor, drop ingredients to be
chopped through the feed tube while
the processor is running.
5. 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.).
6. Soft and medium-hard cheese
may spread out or roll up on the
shredding disc. To avoid this, shred
only well-chilled cheese.
17

Helpful Hints
7. Sometimes slender foods, such as
carrots or celery,fall over in the feed
tube, resulting in an uneven slice.
Tominimize this, cut
food in several pieces
and pack the feed
tube with the food.
For processing small
or slender items, the
small feed tube in the
two piece food pusher
will prove especially
convenient.
8. 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.
9. When shredded or sliced food piles
up on one side of the bowl, stop the
processor and redistribute the food
using a spatula.
10. When food quantity reaches the
bottom of a slicing or shredding disc,
remove the food.
11. A few larger pieces of food may
remain on top of the disc after slicing
or shredding. If desired, cut these by
hand and add to mixture.
12. Organize processing tasks to
minimize bowl cleanup. Process
dry or firm ingredients before
liquid ingredients.
13. Toclean ingredients from the
multipurpose blade easily,just empty
the work bowl, replace the lid, and
pulse 1 to 2 seconds to spin the
blade clean.
14. After removing the work bowl cover,
place it upside down on the counter.
This will help keep the counter clean.
lB. To remove the contents of the
work bowl without removing the
multipurpose blade, grasp the
work bowl from the bottom and
place one finger through the center
opening to hold the blade in place.
Then remove food from the bowl
and blade with a spatula.
16. Your Food Processor is not designed
