Chopping
For the best, most consistent results, you
should try to process pieces of food that are
approximatelyequalinsize.Whenyoubreak,
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.
Mincing
Pre-cut meat into cubes approximately 2cm
square.
Vegetables
Whenprocessingvegetablessuchasonions,
peel and quarter or cut large vegetables into
eighths.
Mixing
The quantities that can be processed within
the Processing bowl will vary with the density
of the mixture.
For best results with cheese
Softer cheeses such as Cheddar or Swiss
should be well chilled before processing.
For best results with harder cheeses such as
Parmesan or Romano, use the shaving disc,
with the cheese at room temperature.

Soups

Adding Ingredients
Whenvariousrecipesrequiredryingredients
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.
Note: Whenprocessingsaucesorsemi-liquid
ingredients, stop the food processor and
scrape down the container sides with the
spatula provided.
Using the Feed Tube
The most important factor for successful
slicing and shredding is the way in which the
food is packed into the feed tube.
When slicing, shredding, shaving or 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. The more firmly you push,
the thicker the slices or shreds. Do not use
excessive force or you may damage the food
processor.
Note: 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.
