FOOD PROCESSING AT A GLANCE

PROCESSING TIPS

Do not fill the processing bowl above the liquid ‘Liquid Max’ for wet ingredients. Always add drier or thicker ingredients to the processing bowl prior to adding fluids.

To avoid over-processing when coarsely chopping food, frequently check consistency. Use the spatula to scrape down the sides of bowl to ensure an even texture.

If chopping fruit to add to cake batter, process before making batter, adding a little flour from quantity recommended in recipe to prevent fruit from sticking to blades.

When crumbing bread for stuffing, use stale bread as fresh bread sticks to blades.

Add liquid to puréed foods after processing.

Use the small feed chute when adding liquid to processed mixtures.

Peanut butter made in the food processor will separate on standing. Stir just before use.

When processing a variety of ingredients, it is not necessary to remove them after each addition, unless they exceed the MAX level marking.

When mixing dry and wet ingredients, the mixture will process more evenly if the wet ingredients are placed in the bowl preceding the dry ingredients.

Egg white foams used for aerating mixtures such as fruit sorbet, work successfully. A minimum of 6 egg whites is recommended. It is recommended to use the emulsifying disc to maximize the effect.

Beating egg whites for meringue requires lengthy beating to dissolve the sugar and entrap the air. It is not recommended to use the emulsifying disc for best results.

Before slicing and shredding, trim the food to fit the feed chute. Do not overfill beyond the ‘Chute Fill Max’ indicator.

Before slicing and shredding softer structured foods (such as meat), partially freeze until just firm.
