• When slicing raw meat, it should be partially frozen (firm, but not solid).

Food Quality

•Fresh, crisp, and firm fruits and vegetables process best. This does not mean you cannot use up an old carrot or a limp piece of celery, but you should not expect the same results you would get with fresh produce.

•For uniform texture, use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the Bowl when nec- essary.

Liquids

•Hot liquids (not boiling) and hot foods can be processed in the Bowl. Model FP1000, FP1000-04

•For best results process less than 3 cups (800 ml) of liquids at a time. Larger amounts may leak between the Cover and the Bowl.

Model FP1011

•For best results you can process up to 4 cups (1000 ml) of liquids at a time on low speed; less than 3 cups (800 ml) of liquids at a time on high speed. Larger amounts may leak between the Cover and the Bowl.

Other Techniques

•Process dry ingredients first and moist ingredients later when making several differ- ent recipes or using several different foods in a recipe. This reduces the number of times the Bowl must be washed and dried.

•Wash and remove inedible parts of food before processing.

•Chop raw meat with the Knife Blade only. Chop a maximum of 1 Cup (240 ml) at a time.

Processing Cheese

Many kinds of cheese can be processed in this Food Processor. However, some pre- cautions must be observed for good results and to avoid damaging your machine.

When using the Slice/Shred Disc to process cheese, always use light pressure on the Food Pusher. Light pressure means just enough force to keep the Food Pusher in con- tact with the cheese.

Follow these guidelines for best results when processing cheese.

•Soft Cheeses – Cottage, Cream, Ricotta, Brie, Camembert, Liederkranz, Mozzarella. These cheeses may be processed with the Knife Blade. Temperature is not critical. Cream cheese will process more easily at room temperature. Of this group, only mozzarella cheese may be processed with the shredding side of the Disc, but it must be well chilled. Put it in the freezer 20 minutes before shredding. Soft cheeses can- not be sliced or shredded.

•Semi-Soft Cheeses – Blue, Bel Paese, Meunster, Fontina, Monterey Jack. These cheeses may be processed with the Knife Blade. Temperature is not critical. How- ever, if using the shredding side of the Disc, these cheeses must be chilled. These cheeses cannot be sliced.
