Food Processing Tips
USING THE
MULTIPURPOSE BLADE

To mince garlic or to chop
fresh herbs or small quantities
of vegetables: With processor
running, add food through feed tube.
Process until chopped. For best results,
make sure work bowl is very dry before
chopping garlic or fresh herbs.

To chop fresh fruits or vegetables:
Peel, core, and/or remove seeds. Cut
food in 1 to 11⁄2-inch pieces. Process
food to desired size, using short pulses,
1 to 2 seconds each time. Scrape sides
of bowl, if necessary.

To chop nuts or make nut butters:
Process up to 3 cups of nuts to desired
texture, using short pulses, 1 to 2
seconds each time. For a coarser
texture, process smaller batches,
pulsing 1 or 2 times, 1 to 2 seconds
each time. Pulse more often for finer
texture. For nut butters, process
continuously until smooth. Store in
refrigerator.

To puree cooked fruits and
vegetables (except potatoes):
Add 1⁄4 cup liquid from recipe per cup of
food. Process food, using short pulses,
until finely chopped. Then process
continuously until reaching desired
texture. Scrape sides of bowl, if
necessary.
To prepare mashed potatoes:
Shred hot cooked potatoes, using the
shredding disc. Exchange shredding
disc for multipurpose blade. Add
softened butter, milk, and seasonings.
Pulse 3 to 4 times, 2 to 3 seconds each
time, until smooth and milk is absorbed.
Do not overprocess.

To chop cooked or raw meat,
poultry or seafood: The food should
be very cold. Cut in 1-inch pieces.
Process up to 1 pound at a time to
desired size, using short pulses, 1 to 2
seconds each time. Scrape sides of
bowl, if necessary.
To make bread, cookie or cracker
crumbs: Break food into 11⁄2 to 2-inch
pieces. Process until fine. For larger
pieces, pulse 2 to 3 times, 1 to 2 seconds
each time. Then process until fine.

To chop dried (or sticky) fruits:
The food should be cold. Add 1⁄4 cup
flour from recipe per 1⁄2 cup dried fruit.
Process fruit, using short pulses, until
reaching desired texture.

To melt chocolate: Combine
chocolate and sugar from recipe in work
bowl. Process until finely chopped.
Heat liquid from recipe. With processor
running, pour hot liquid through feed
tube. Process until smooth.

To finely chop citrus peel:
With sharp knife, peel colored portion
(without white membrane) from citrus.
Cut peel in small strips. Combine peel
with at least 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
from recipe. Process until finely
chopped.

arb

Food Processing Tips
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. Pack feed tube securely in
order to keep food positioned properly.
Process using even pressure.

To grate hard cheeses, such as
Parmesan and Romano: Never
attempt to process cheese that cannot
be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife.
You can use the multipurpose blade to
grate hard cheeses. Cut cheese in
1-inch pieces. Place in work bowl.
Process, using short pulses, until
coarsely chopped. Process continuously
until finely grated.

To slice or shred fruits and
vegetables that are round, such as
onions, apples, and green peppers:
Peel, core, and/or remove seeds. Cut in
halves or quarters to fit feed tube.
Position in feed tube. Some foods are
easier to insert into tube from the
bottom. Process, using even pressure.

USING A SLICING
OR SHREDDING DISC

To cut julienne, or match stick,
strips of vegetables and fruits:
Cut food to fit feed
tube horizontally.
Position food
horizontally in feed
tube. Process, using
even pressure to make
plank-like slices.
Re-stack slices and
position vertically or
horizontally in feed
tube. Process, using
even pressure.

To slice or shred fruits and
vegetables that are small, such as
strawberries, mushrooms and
radishes: Position food vertically or
horizontally in layers in feed tube.

Food Processing Tips
USING THE EGG WHIP

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 make egg white meringue:
Place 3 egg whites and 1⁄4 teaspoon
cream of tartar in work bowl fitted with
attachment (See page 15). Process until
foamy, about 30 to 45 seconds. With
processor running, slowly add 1⁄3 cup
sugar through feed tube. Process until
stiff peaks form, about 21⁄2 to 3 minutes.
Stop processor as necessary to check
texture of mixture.
To whip cream: Place heavy cream
in work bowl fitted with attachment (See
page 15). Process 30 seconds. With
processor running, add 2 tablespoons
powdered sugar through feed tube.
Process just until soft peaks form, about
30 to 40 seconds. Stop processor as
necessary to check texture of mixture.
With processor running, add
1
⁄2 teaspoon vanilla, if desired, through
feed tube. Process just until mixed. Do
not overprocess.

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 firm and soft 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.
USING THE DOUGH BLADE
To make bread: Use the dough blade
for bread recipes using 2-3 cups flour.
The multipurpose blade can be used for
recipes calling for less than 3 cups
flour.

or firmly frozen that it cannot be
pierced with the tip of a sharp knife.
Hard food can cause damage to the
blade or power base. If a piece of
hard food, such as carrot, becomes
wedged or stuck on the blade, stop
the processor and remove the blade.
Carefully remove food from the blade.

■ Do not overfill work bowl or mini

bowl. For thin mixtures, fill work
bowl up to 1⁄2 to 2⁄3 full. For thicker
mixtures, fill work bowl up to 3⁄4 full.
For liquids fill up to the maximum
level as described on page 16. When
chopping, the work bowl should be no
more than 1⁄3 to 1⁄2 full. Use the mini
bowl for up to 1 cup of liquid or 1⁄2
cup solids.

■ When preparing a cake or cookie

batter or quick bread, use the
multipurpose blade to cream fat and
sugar first. Add dry ingredients last.
Place nuts and fruit on top of flour
mixture to prevent overchopping.
Process nuts and fruits, using short
pulses, until blended with other
ingredients. Do not overprocess.

■ To capitalize on the speed of the

processor, drop ingredients to be
chopped through the feed tube while
the processor is running, whether
using the work bowl or the mini bowl.

■ Sometimes single foods, such as

carrots or celery, fall over in the feed
tube, resulting in an uneven slice. To
minimize this, position food at right
side of feed tube, or cut food in
several pieces and put all pieces in
feed tube together to help hold each
other in position.

■ Position slicing and shredding discs

so that cutting surface is to the right
of the feed tube to allow blade a full
rotation before contacting food.
■ Different foods require varying

degrees of pressure for best shredding
and slicing results. In general, use
light pressure for soft, delicate foods
(strawberries, tomatoes, etc.),
moderate pressure for medium foods
(zucchini, potatoes, etc.), and firmer
pressure for harder foods (carrots,
apples, hard cheeses, partially frozen
meats, etc.).
