2.14-cup work bowl

3.Cover with extra large feed tube

The metal chopping blade chops raw and cooked fruits, vegetables, meat, fish and cheese to the exact consistency you want, from coarse to fine, even to a purée. It chops nuts, makes nut butters, mayonnaise and sauces, and mixes tender, flaky pastry. The metal chopping blade also mixes cakes, frostings, cookies,

quick breads, muffins, and biscuits.

The Power Prep® Metal Dough Blade is specifically designed to work in conjunction with our DOUGH control while making yeast doughs. One touch of the DOUGH button makes “perfect dough in seconds”.

A locking device prevents heavy dough from driving the blade up on the shaft.

The slicing disc makes beautiful whole slices without torn edges.

It slices whole fruits and vegetables, cooked meat, semi-frozen raw meat and loaves of bread.

The shredding disc processes most firm and hard cheeses into long, attractive shreds. It also shreds vegetables like potatoes, carrots and zucchini, and processes nuts and chocolate to a grated texture.

The detachable stem fits both discs, making disc storage compact in limited space.

The pusher assembly has two parts.

1.A small, removable, clear pusher that fits into a small center-located feed tube. This tube is for narrow food like carrots, for adding liquid, and for continuous feeding of small food like garlic.

2.A large pusher that fits into the Cuisinart® Supreme® feed tube opening and moves freely within it.

Upon contact, the large pusher meets an activating rod in the center of the work bowl handle, permit- ting the motor to start.

The whisk attachment adds volume to egg whites, heavy or whipping cream, potatoes and light sauces. The thin stainless steel beaters aerate food, mak- ing it lighter and fluffier.
