USING THE

MULTIPURPOSE BLADE

To chop fresh fruits or vegetables: Peel, core, and/or remove seeds. Cut food in 1 to 112- inch pieces. Process food to desired size, using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.

To puree cooked fruits and vegetables (except potatoes): Add 14 cup liquid from recipe per cup of food. Process food, using short pulses, until finely chopped. Then process continuously until reaching desired texture. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.

To prepare mashed potatoes: Shred hot cooked potatoes, using the shredding disc. Exchange shredding disc for multipurpose blade. Add softened butter, milk, and seasonings. Pulse 3 to 4 times, 2 to 3 seconds each time, until smooth and milk is absorbed. Do not overprocess.

To chop dried (or sticky) fruits: The food should be cold. Add 14 cup flour from recipe per 12 cup dried fruit. Process fruit, using short pulses, until reaching desired texture.

To finely chop citrus peel: With sharp knife, peel colored portion (without white membrane) from citrus. Cut peel in small strips. Combine peel with at least 12 cup granulated sugar from recipe. Process until finely chopped.

To mince garlic or to chop fresh herbs or small quantities of vegetables: With processor running, add food through feed tube. Process until chopped. For best results, make sure work bowl is very dry before chopping garlic or fresh herbs.

To chop nuts or make nut butters: Process up to 3 cups of nuts to desired texture, using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each time. For a coarser texture, process smaller batches, pulsing 1 or 2 times, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Pulse more often for finer texture. For nut butters, process continuously until smooth. Store in refrigerator.

To chop cooked or raw meat, poultry or seafood: The food should be very cold. Cut in 1-inch pieces. Process up to 1 pound at a time to desired size, using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.

To make bread, cookie or cracker crumbs: Break food into 112 to 2- inch pieces. Process until fine. For larger pieces, pulse 2 to 3 times, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Then process until fine.
