Handy hints for processing

Chopping

For the best, most consistent results, you should try to process pieces of food that are approximately equal in size. When you break, 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

When processing vegetables such as onions, 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.

Adding Ingredients

When various recipes require dry ingredients 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: When processing sauces or semi-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 how the food is packed into the feed tube.

When slicing, shredding, and grating Cut all ingredients to a size that fits comfortably into the feed tube. Pack the feed tube and, while holding the 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.

Preparing longer slices

Pack food items horizontally in the feed tube, see Figure 16.

Preparing shorter slices

Pack the food items vertically in the feed tube, see Figure 17.For best results when shredding and grating Remember that softer foods such as cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or swiss) should be well chilled before processing. Harder foods such as parmesan or Romano cheese should be at room temperature before processing. Note: When grating parmesan cheese do not apply a lot of pressure to the food pusher.

Twin Food Pusher

Use the twin food pushers to help guide food through the chute for even, consistent processing. Use the smaller food pusher for smaller, thinner foods for best results.

Disassembly

When processing is completed, remove the cover from the processing bowl first and then remove the processing bowl with the processing blade still in place. Remove the processing bowl first unlock the processing cover by rotating it in a clockwise direction until the cover is unlocked.
