CompleteChef™
Cooking Food Processor as if cooking on the
stovetop. Prep base recipe ingredients first,
if necessary, by either chopping, slicing,
shredding or dicing.
Once ingredients are prepped, select an
accessory for cooking, if necessary. For
recipes that require stirring, replace the prep
accessory with the Stirring Paddle.
For puréed soups or sauces, the Metal
Chopping Blade can serve as both the prep
and cooking tool. Chop ingredients first and
then use the chopping blade to stir, if
necessary, while cooking. Once cooking is
complete, purée ingredients.
Also, for puréed soups, the recommended
technique is to cook or steam base ingredients
in a smaller amount of liquid than traditionally
used. At the end of cooking time, purée
ingredients using the Metal Chopping Blade.
With the food processor running, add
additional liquid to the Work Bowl until desired
consistency is achieved. Use our recipes as a
guide for liquid amounts.
Use extreme caution when processing hot
liquids. Ingredients should never exceed the
Max Fill line.
TEMPERATURE
For each cooking step, select temperature.
The unit takes about 5 to 10 minutes to
heat up.
Use the highest temperature to bring liquid
to a boil, when browning meats and quick
vegetable cooking. To sauté vegetables
that are the base for certain recipes, use
temperatures ranging between 250°F to 285°F.
For longer cooking that may require a higher
temperature, refrain from using the highest
temperature. The highest recommended
temperature is 250°F in this instance.
For gentle dishes, like risotto, we recommend
205°F as the optimal temperature for the entire
cooking process, from sweating aromatic
vegetables to cooking the rice.
For dishes like soups, sauces and stews, it is
advised that once the liquid is added, bring the
recipe to a boil and then immediately reduce to
a simmer (between 205°F and 210°F) for the
Temperature Setting Temperature Range
Warm 85°F to 110°F
Low 115°F to 140°F
Low-Medium 145°F to 170°F
Medium 175°F to 205°F
Boil 212°F
Medium-High 215°F to 240°F
