To capitalize on the speed of the
processor, drop ingredients to be
chopped through the feed tube while
the processor is running.
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 Àrmer pressure for harder foods
(carrots, apples, hard cheeses, partially
frozen meats, etc.).
Soft and medium-hard cheese may spread
out or roll up on the shredding disc. To
avoid this, shred only well-chilled cheese.
Sometimes slender foods, such as
carrots or celery, fall over in the feed
tube, resulting in an uneven slice. To
minimize 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.
When preparing a cake or cookie batter
or quick bread, use the multipurpose
blade to cream fat and sugar Àrst. Add dry
ingredients last. Place nuts and fruit on top
of Áour mixture to prevent overchopping.
Process nuts and fruits, using short pulses,
until blended with other ingredients. Do
not overprocess.
When shredded or sliced food piles up on
one side of the bowl, stop the processor
and redistribute the food using a spatula.
When food quantity reaches the bottom
of a slicing or shredding disc, remove
the food.
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.
Use the spatula to remove ingredients
from the work bowl.
TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
Organize processing tasks to minimize
bowl cleanup. Process dry or Àrm
ingredients before liquid ingredients.
To clean 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.
After removing the work bowl cover,
place it upside down on the counter.
This will help keep the counter clean.
Your Food Processor is not designed
to perform the following functions:
- Grind coffee beans, grains, or
hard spices
- Grind bones or other inedible
parts of food
- Liquefy raw fruits or vegetables
- Slice hard-cooked eggs or unchilled
meats.
If any plastic parts should discolor due to
the types of food processed, clean them
with lemon juice.
