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 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 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.

With sharp knife, peel colored portion (without white membrane) from citrus. Cut peel in small strips. Process until finely chopped.

With processor running, add food through the feed tube. Process until chopped. For best results, make sure work bowl and herbs are very dry before chopping.

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 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.
