Using a slicing or shredding disc

To slice or shred fruits
or vegetables that are
long and relatively small
in diameter, such as celery, carrots, and
bananas:
Cut food to fit feed tube vertically or
horizontally, and pack feed tube securely
to keep food positioned properly. Process
using even pressure.
Or use the small feed tube in the two-piece
food pusher. Position food vertically in
the tube and use the small food pusher
to process food.

that are round, such as onions, apples,
and green peppers:
Peel, core, and remove seeds. Cut in halves
or quarters to fit feed tube. Position in feed
tube. Process using even pressure.

that are small, such as strawberries,
mushrooms, and radishes:
Position food vertically or horizontally in

To slice uncooked meat or poultry,
such as stir-fry meats:
Cut or roll food to fit feed tube. Wrap
and freeze food until hard to the touch, 30
minutes to 2 hours, depending on thickness
of food. Check to be sure you can still pierce
food with the tip of a sharp knife. If not, allow
to thaw slightly. Process, using even pressure.
To slice cooked meat or poultry,
including salami, pepperoni, etc.:
Food should be very cold. Cut in pieces to
fit feed tube. Process food using firm, even
pressure.
To shred spinach and other leaves:
Stack leaves. Roll up and stand up in feed
tube. Process using even pressure.

cheeses:
Firm cheese should be
very cold. For best results with soft cheeses,
such as mozzarella, freeze 10 to 15 minutes
before processing. Cut to fit feed tube.
Process using even pressure.
