Cuisinart MINI PREP PRO ECH4PE Manuel D'utilisation page 26

Ingredients
Seeds (e.g. cumin)
Vegetables, cooked
For best results:
• Always cut large pieces of food into smaller pieces of even size of approximately 1.5cm to
achieve even results.
• Use the sharp edge for chopping, puréeing and mixing. It is ideal for chopping softer food
such as herbs, celery, onions, garlic and most cheese. It is also useful for puréeing cooked
vegetables, making mayonnaise and mixing salad dressing.
• Use the blunt edge for grinding coffee beans and spices, and for chopping hard food such
as peppercorns, seeds, chocolate and nuts.
ATTENTION: Do not overload the work bowl. Overloading causes inconsistent results and strains the
motor. After being processed, food should not reach more than 2/3 of the way up the central plastic
stem of the blade assembly.
N.B. Please note that although the air capacity of the Mini Prep Pro is 900ml the following maximum
fill capacities apply for optimum use of the product:
• 700ml - mixture capacity
• 450ml - thin liquid capacity
Chopping fresh herbs
The herbs, work bowl and blade must all be thoroughly cleaned and dried. Remove the stems from
herbs. Add the leaves to work bowl and process, using the 'Chop' switch and a 'pulse' action until they
are chopped to the desired consistency.
Chopping meat, poultry, fish & shellfish
The food should be very cold but not frozen. Cut into 1.5cm pieces and place in the work bowl. Use
the 'Chop' switch and a 'pulse' action until the food is evenly chopped. Use a continuous processing
action for a few seconds for a finer chop if required. Use a spatula to scrape food down from the sides
of the work bowl as necessary.
Chopping nuts
You can use either the 'Chop' or 'Grind' function depending on the consistency you require. For
roughly chopped nuts, process continuously using the 'Chop' switch until chopped to the desired
consistency. Check frequently to avoid nuts clumping together. If necessary, use the spatula to re-
distribute the nuts evenly in the work bowl. If you require more of a powder consistency use the
'Grind' function continuously until the desired consistency is achieved.
Producing a purée
Cut the food into 1.5cm pieces and place in the work bowl. Use the 'Chop' switch and a 'pulse' action
to chop coarsely, then process continuously until food is puréed.
