Placing into Operation with Food Processor Blade

Make sure that the power unit is on a smooth, clean, suitable work surface and switched to the Off, “O/Off,” position. Unwind the electrical cord to the necessary length and plug into a convenient outlet. The 5-cup capacity bowl with food processor blade is now ready for operation.

The processor blade sits low in the bowl, near the bottom. Food to be processed must be fed through the feeding funnel using the pusher. The food is then minced or pureed near the bottom of the bowl by the spinning blade. Food should be prepared as usual (wash, dry, peel, etc.) and cut into pieces to readily fit through the feeding funnel.

The degree of mincing desired, to a great extent, depends upon the intended purpose and the individual taste of the preparer, so the times listed below in the examples should be taken as a general guide only. Also, the processing times depend upon the quantity of food being processed; that is, for small quantities and/or coarser result, use a shorter operating time, for larger quantities and/or finer result, use a longer operating time.

Examples of Use of Food Processor

To familiarize you with the operation of the food processor, below you will find some typical uses:

•Herbs (except chives)

Place herbs, up to an amount of approximately 1 tablespoon (10 g.) into the bowl dry. Use speed 4, or “M,” the momentary “pulse” position, for 20-30 seconds.

•Onions or Garlic

Cut onions into quarters. Processing approximately 1/4 pound at a time (100 g.) use “M,” briefly (5-7 seconds) until desired consistency is obtained.

•Almonds, nuts

Place nuts approximately 1/4 pound at a time (100 g.) into the bowl dry. Use speed 4 for approximately 1 - 1 1/2 minutes.

•Meat

Do not process more than 3/4 of a pound at a time (375 g.). Remove the bones, gristle and tendons and cut meat into pieces suitable to fit through the feeding tube.

Note: Before processing, spices or bread maybe added as called for in your recipe.

Use speed 4, or “M,” until desired result is obtained (approximately 30 - 60 seconds).

•Pureeing

Fruits, vegetables and cheeses with ingredients and spices may also be processed. Do not process more than 3/4 of a pound at a time (375 g.). Use speed 4 or “M” until desired result is obtained (approx. 1 minute).

•Mayonnaise

Using the recipe from the blender section, place ingredients into the food processor bowl, except the final 2/3 cup of vegetable oil. Mix all the ingredients briefly, then add the rest of the vegetable oil. Use speed for approximately 1 1/2 minutes.
