Tips and Techniques

• For a more uniform
consistency, start with pieces
of food that are similar in size.
Cut food into 1-inch (2.5-cm)
pieces before processing with
double chopping/mixing blade
and leave room in bowl for the
food to be tossed around.
• This food processor is
excellent to chop, mix, slice,
or shred most foods. However,
to maintain peak performance,
do not use your food
processor for the following:
grinding grain, coffee beans,
or spices; slicing frozen meats;
kneading dough; or crushing
ice.
• When chopping foods, pulsing
on and off will produce the
best results.
• Operating time will depend
on quantity of food being
processed. Most foods
can be sliced, chopped, or
shredded in seconds. If unit is
operated continuously for an
extended period of time, let the
processor rest about 4 minutes
before continuing.
• Do not puree or mash starchy
vegetables like potatoes as
they are easily overprocessed
and will become gummy.
• To slice or shred cheese, use
only firm cheese like Cheddar
or Swiss that has been chilled
for at least 30 minutes.
Cheese should be processed
immediately after being
removed from the refrigerator.
Soft cheese like mozzarella
should be placed in the
freezer for 30 minutes prior to
processing to ensure it is firm
enough for shredding.
• For best smoothie results, add
at least 1/2 cup (118 ml) liquid
to bowl before adding other
ingredients.
• To julienne vegetables, slice
and then remove from bowl.
Restack the vegetables. Pack
into food chute with slices
vertical. Slice again to make
matchstick-cut vegetables.
