Handy Hints When Processing.
Chopping
For the best, most consistent results, you should try to process pieces of food that are approximately equal in size. When you break, cut or tear food into uniform pieces before you begin processing, the finished results will be more uniform.
More consistent processing results are achieved if the container is not overloaded.
Note: When processing a heavy load, check to be sure Oskar 400 is sitting firmly on the bench top.

Adding Ingredients
When various recipes require dry ingredients such as flour, add them directly into the processing bowl before processing. There is no need to shift ingredients when using your Oskar
400.Liquid ingredients may be added by pouring the required amount through the pouring hole in the cover.
Note: When processing sauces or
Blending
When blending liquids (eg: soup or drinks), apply pressure to the cover to prevent leakage. If contents are very hot, place a cloth over the cover, before applying pressure.
Vegetables
When processing vegetables such as onions, peel and quarter. Place into processing bowl and turn the unit ‘On’ and ‘Off’ 1 or 2 times to coarsely chop, 3 to 4 times to finely chop. Scrape sides of the container once or twice during processing if necessary.
Mixing
The quantities that can be processed within the processing bowl will vary with the density of the mixture.
Using the Feed Tube
The most important factor for successful slicing and shredding is the way in which food is packed into the feed tube.
When Slicing and Shredding
Cut all ingredients to a size that fits comfortably into the feed tube. Pack the feed tube and while holding food steady and upright with the food pusher, press down evenly until all ingredients are sliced or shredded. The more firmly you push, the thicker the slices or shreds. Do not use excessive force or you may damage the Oskar 400.
Note: Never use fingers to push food down the feed tube. Always use the food pusher.
