Processing Tips and Techniques

•For a uniform consistency when chopping, leave room in the bowl for the food to be tossed around.

•For a consistent texture, foods should be cut into 1-inch cubes before mincing or chopping with the Chopping/Mixing Blade.

•Do not puree or mash starchy vegetables like potatoes. They will be over-processed in a second and turn gummy.

•Operating time will depend on quantity of food being processed. Most foods can be sliced, chopped, or shredded in seconds. Do not operate processor for more than 1 minute at a time. If processing large quantities, let the processor rest about 1 minute before continuing.

•The bowl will hold 2 cups of liquid. Refer to Food Processing Charts for other capacities. Do not overfill.

NOTE: To maintain peak performance, and to prevent etching or clouding of the bowl, do not use your food proces- sor for the following:

–grinding grain, coffee beans or spices

–slicing frozen meat; or crushing ice.
