To slice or shred fruits or

vegetables that are long and relatively small in diameter, such as celery, carrots, and bananas:

Cut food to fit feed tube vertically or horizontally, and pack feed tube securely to keep food positioned properly. Process using even pressure.

Or use the small feed tube in the two-piece food pusher. Position food vertically in the tube and use the small food pusher

to process food.

Peel, core, and remove seeds. Cut in halves or quarters to fit feed tube. Position in feed tube. Process using even pressure.

To slice or shred fruits and vegetables that are small, such as strawberries, mushrooms, and radishes:

Position food vertically or horizontally in layers within the feed tube. Fill feed tube in order to keep food positioned properly. Process, using even pressure. Or use the small feed tube in the two-piece food pusher. Position food vertically in the tube and use the small food pusher to process food.

To slice uncooked meat or poultry, such as stir-fry meats:

Cut or roll food to fit feed tube. Wrap and freeze food until hard to the touch, 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on thickness of food. Check to be sure you can still pierce food with the tip of a sharp knife. If not, allow to thaw slightly. Process, using even pressure.

To slice cooked meat or poultry, including salami, pepperoni, etc.: Food should be very cold. Cut in pieces to fit feed tube. Process food using firm, even pressure.

To shred spinach and other leaves:

Stack leaves. Roll up and stand up in feed tube. Process using even pressure.

To shred firm and soft cheeses:

Firm cheese should be very cold. For best results with soft cheeses, such as mozzarella, freeze 10 to 15 minutes before

processing. Cut to fit feed tube. Process using even pressure.

Using the dough blade

The dough blade is specially designed for mixing and

kneading yeast dough quickly and thoroughly.

For the best results, do not knead recipes which use more than 500 g (4 cups) of flour.
