FOOD PROCESSING TIPS
Liquids
• Hot liquids (not boiling) and hot foods can be processed in container.
• Be sure to process small amounts of liquids — 2 cups or less at a time. Larger amounts
will leak from container.
Food Size, Preparation and Loading
• When preparing cookie, cake batter or quick bread, use the chopping blade to cream
butter or shortening and sugar first. Add dry ingredients last. Place nuts and fruits on top
of dry ingredients to prevent over-chopping. Process using short pulses until blended.
Do not overprocess.
Meat
• When using the chopping blade for processing meat, cut the meat into 1" (2.54cm)
cubes. Do not put more than 1/2 lb. (230g) of meat into the container at a time. Chop
on pulse to the size desired.
Dry Ingredients
• When using different foods in a recipe, process dry ingredients first and moist
ingredients later. This reduces the number of times container must be washed and dried.
