Functions Notes, Tips
Chopping, Mixing &
Kneading with the
Stainless Steel
Chopping Blade
Tip: For raw ingredients: peel, core and remove seeds & pits. Food should
be cut into even, 2 to 2½cm pieces. Foods cut into same size pieces
produce the most even results. Pulse food in 1-second increments to
chop. For the finest chop, either hold the pulse down or press High or
Low to run the machine continuously. Watch ingredients closely to
achieve desired consistency & scrape the work bowl as necessary.
Tip: Low speed is recommended for making doughs & batters. High
speed is recommended for most other chopping, processing &
slicing/shredding tasks.
Purreéing &
Blending with the
Stainless Steel
Chopping Blade
Tip: To purée fresh fruits or cooked fruits or vegetables; Ingredients
should be cut into 2 to 2½cm pieces; a smooth purée is best achieved
when all the pieces are equal in size. Pulse to initially chop then
process on High or Low until food is puréed; scrape the work bowl as
necessary.
NB: Do not use this method to purée cooked, white potatoes.
Tip: To purée solids for a soup or sauce; strain the solids from the liquid
then process the solids alone. Add cooking liquid & process as
needed.
Slicing & Shredding
with the Reversible
Slicing Disk
Tip: The slicing discs make whole slices, ideally for slicing fruits &
vegetables, cooked meat & semi-frozen raw meat. The shredding
discs shred most firm & hard cheeses. Also harder vegetables e.g.
potatoes, carrots & zucchini.
Tip: Always pack food in the feed tube evenly for slicing /shredding. The
food will dictate the amount of pressure; Use light pressure for soft
foods, medium pressure for medium foods & firm pressure for harder
foods.
Tip: For round fruits or vegetables; Remove a thick slice on the bottom of
the food so that it sits upright in the feed tube. If food does not fit in
the feed tube, cut in half or quarter to fit.
Tip: For small ingredients like mushrooms, radishes or strawberries; Trim
the ends so the food sits upright in the feed tube.
Tip: When slicing or shredding cheese, be sure that the cheese is well
chilled.
Tip: To shred leafy vegetables like lettuce or spinach; Roll leaves together
& stand them up in feed tube.
NB: Always process with even pressure.
NB: Always use pusher when slicing or shredding.
NEVER PUT YOUR HAND IN FEED TUBE when appliance is running.
