TIPS FOR YOUR PRECISION PROCESSOR™ BOWL
LOADING TIPS
Don’t overfill the bowl or ingredients
may not break down evenly. If the
ingredients exceed the max fill line,
take some out.

SO MUCH MORE
THAN MEAL PREP.

With Precision Processing, you’re not just breaking ingredients down into
smaller pieces. You’re bringing them together in ways you hadn’t thought
of before. From chopping a clove of garlic to making a pound of dough,
big mealtime inspiration can come from a relatively small place.

Add liquid on top,
as the last ingredient.

Place heavier ingredients, like
chicken and root vegetables,
on top of the greens and lettuces
for best results.
Place herbs, lettuces, and greens in the
bowl first so they are at the bottom.

PREP TIPS
When loading the bowl, make
sure ingredients do not go past
the max fill line.

Cut all ingredients to 1 inch or as
designated in each recipe.
Peel bell peppers with a vegetable peeler
prior to cutting for best performance.
For chopped salads with a lot of lettuce,
chop the toppings separately and then
layer them on top of a bed of lettuce.
For smoothie bowls and frozen treats, use
the following frozen-to-liquid ingredient
ratio: 1.5 to 1.

MEASURING CUPS

LIQUID
MEASURING CUPS

¼

MEASURING
MATTERS
Dry and liquid measurements differ slightly, so it’s important
to use the right tool for the job. Here’s a simple breakdown

Dry measuring cups are used to measure
dry ingredients (like flour and sugar)
as well as non-pourable wet ingredients
(like peanut butter and sour cream).

Measuring Tip
Over a bowl, overfill the measuring cup. Then
level the ingredient with a flat edge, like a
butter knife or spatula. This will ensure an exact
measurement and preserve the excess ingredient
for future use.

Liquid measuring cups
are used to measure liquid
and pourable ingredients.

Measuring Tip
Place the measuring cup on your countertop
before filling it. Once filled, bend down so you
can see the measurement at eye level (looking
at the cup from above will skew your view).

SPIRALIZER FOOD PREP

SPIRALIZER TIPS

FOR BEST RESULTS, PREPARE YOUR INGREDIENTS BEFORE SPIRALIZING

4”

WHEN SPIRALIZING

3”

Having trouble getting long strands? Is it just shredding or creating semicircles?
Make sure the ingredient is centered on the Blade Disc pin.

4”

3"
Trim ingredients so they are
no taller than the Feed Chute (4").
For butternut squash and potatoes,
the max recommended height is 3".

3"

Is ingredient not fully processing and just spinning on the Food Pusher?

Cut ingredient so it is no more than
3" wide. Trim evenly from all sides to
maintain a roughly cylindrical shape.
DO NOT cut in half lengthwise.

Remove remaining ingredient from Blade Disc pin and re-trim ends to be even.
Make sure you center the ingredient on the Blade Disc pin.
Can I spiralize continuously? No, make sure you remove the ingredient from the bowl and the
small amount of leftover ingredient from your Blade Disc before spiralizing another ingredient.

PREPPING/COOKING
Why are my noodles broken or short? If the Collecting Bowl is overfilled, causing the Blade Disc to lift up
after spiralizing, your ingredient may have been too large. Make sure to trim and prepare your ingredients
properly before spiralizing by following the instructions in the Food Prep section to the left.

Peel ingredients with tough
skin, like sweet potatoes or
butternut squash.

Why are my noodles watery? To avoid watery noodles, pat them dry with a paper towel after spiralizing.
You can also release excess water from the noodles by salting them and letting sit for 2 to 3 minutes.

1.5"
Cut both ends off ingredient to
create flat surfaces, helping to
secure ingredient to both the
Blade Disc pin and Food Pusher.

Trim tapered ingredients like
carrots to make them more
symmetrical. Ingredients must
be larger than 1.5" in diameter.

CHOOSING YOUR FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
Cannot find a wide enough carrot? Look for carrots that are sold individually rather than in a bag.
Results will vary. No two fruits or vegetables are the same. For the best results, select fresh, firm, and
symmetrical ingredients.

THERE’S OODLES
TO NOODLE.

Cooking veggie noodles is so quick and easy, you might start wondering if some of your favorite
foods can be spiralized. You’re in luck, because thanks to the Auto-Spiralizer™, they probably can.
Use this guide to turn everything from carrots to broccoli stems (yes, really) into fun noodles.
