Basic Food Processing Techniques

CHOPPING WITH THE QUAD® PROCESSING BLADE

The Quad® processing blade chops raw and cooked food to the consistency required, from coarsely chopped to minced. For many large processing tasks, the four blades will reduce the processing time needed to achieve the desired results. The result depends on the type of food and how long the food is processed. Always remember to place the Quad® processing blade into the processing bowl before adding the food.

To avoid over-processing check the consistency frequently when the food being chopped requires a coarse or thick texture. If necessary, press the OFF button, unlock the lid and use the spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even processing.

Raw meat, chicken and fish

Trim and cut food into 2.5cm cubes. Ensure all bones are removed. Chill well until firm as this will help the processing blade to cut through the food more readily. Process no more than 2 cups at a time using the ON button until chopped or minced to desired size or consistency.

Minced beef

Raw vegetables, fruit and cooked meats

Trim and cut food into 2.5cm cubes. Process no more than 2 cups at a time using the Pulse button at 1-2 second intervals until chopped to desired size or consistency.

Garlic, chilli and ginger

For garlic, peel cloves and leave whole. For chilli, leave whole (remove seeds for milder chilli). For ginger, peel and cut into 2.5cm cubes. Process until chopped to desired consistency. Store chopped garlic or chilli mixed with a little oil in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 1 week. Mix ginger with a little sherry. If adding garlic, chilli or ginger to other ingredients, drop whole pieces down food chute while motor is running.
