Cuisinart BFP-10CH manual Adding Food While Processing, Removing Processed Food

Page 10

For on/off operation, called pulse-chopping or pulsing, press the On button, press the Pulse button, and then press and release the Food Processor button the desired number of times. Motor runs as long as you hold the Food Processor button down. The motor stops when you release control switch. Try it a few times.

You control the duration and frequency of pulses by the length of time you hold the Food Processor button down and the rate at which you press it. Pulses should be short bursts. Allow enough time between pulses to let food in work bowl fall to bottom.

Always use the Food Processor button for pulse/chopping. Never turn cover back and forth to start and stop processor.

USING THE POWERBLEND DUETBLENDER/FOOD PROCESSOR TO CHOP, PURÉE, AND MIX

Refer to Food Processor Assembly instructions on pages 8–9.

1.Cut food into ¾" pieces. You will get a more even chop if you start with pieces that are all the same size. Put pieces into work bowl with metal blade in place. You can put in up to 1 cup of food at a time. If you want to process more, do it in batches.

2.Put on cover, lock it and insert pusher. It is recommended that one hand be placed on the food processor lid while in use, to provide unit stability. Press the On button, press the Pulse button, and the Food Processor button (to pulse), then release. Repeat two to three times. Each time blade stops, let food pieces drop to the bottom of bowl before pulsing again. This ensures that the blade will chop them at every pulse. Watch what happens to the food. With pulse/chopping technique, you can get an even chop without danger of overprocessing. Check texture by looking through work bowl. Be careful not to overprocess.

For a coarse chop, pulse only a few times.

NOTE: The unit has an advanced thermal, resettable fuse feature. In the event of an overload condition, the unit will shut down to protect the motor from overheating. When this happens, reset the unit by unplugging the blender and let it cool down for a minimum of 15 minutes.

3.If you want a finer chop or purée, press the On button and then the Food Processor button and let machine run continuously until the food is chopped as fine as you want it. Check frequently through clear cover or bowl to avoid chopping too fine. Use a

plastic spatula to scrape down any pieces that stick to inside of bowl.

Onions and other food with a high water content turn into a smooth purée very quickly. Do not overchop – look at food frequently through work bowl.

To purée, follow same procedure as for chopping, but let machine run until food is a smooth purée.

New users are often surprised at how fast the processor works. You will quickly get used to its great speed.

These are some conditions that affect your results:

Size of pieces you put in bowl – all should be about the same size.

Amount of food you process – don’t add too much.

Type of processing you choose – continuous or pulse/chopping.

ADDING FOOD WHILE PROCESSING

To add liquid while the machine is running, pour it through the open feed tube. This is especially useful when making mayonnaise or dressings.

A small hole in the pusher allows you to add liquids in a very slow, steady stream – useful when making sauces.

When you want to add small pieces of food like cheese, meat or garlic cloves while machine is running, drop them through open feed tube.

To prevent spills when adding sugar and other dry ingredients, use a funnel.

REMOVING PROCESSED FOOD

Before removing processed food, press Off button and wait for blade to stop spinning. Then remove cover by turning it counterclockwise. Never try to remove cover and work bowl together; this can damage work bowl.

It is important not to let metal blade fall out of work bowl as you empty it.

Here are two ways to prevent it from falling out:

1. Before tilting bowl, use spatula to remove food from around blade. Carefully remove blade by the plastic hub.
