knife blade

The knife blade is the most versatile of all the attachments. The length of the processing time will determine the texture achieved. For coarser textures use the pulse control.

Use the knife blade for cake and pastry making, chopping raw and cooked meat, vegetables, nuts, pate, dips, pureeing soups and to also make crumbs from biscuits and bread. It can also be used for yeasted dough mixes.

hints

knife blade

●Cut food such as meat, bread, vegetables into cubes approximately 2cm/3/4in before processing.

●Biscuits should be broken into pieces and added down the feed tube whilst the machine is running.

●When making pastry use fat straight from the fridge cut into 2cm/3/4in.cubes.

●Take care not to over-process.

●Place the dry ingredients in the bowl and add the liquid down the feed tube whilst the machine is running. Process until a smooth elastic ball of dough is formed this will take 60 - 90 secs.

●Re-knead by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not recommended as it may cause the processor to become unstable.
