MACHINE FUNCTIONS

Using the Metal Blade

Chopping

•For raw ingredients: peel, core and/or remove seeds and pits. Food should be cut into even, ½ to 1-inch pieces. Foods cut into same size pieces produce the most even results.

•Pulse food in 1-second increments to chop. For the finest chop, either hold the pulse down or press ON to run the machine continuously. Watch ingredients closely to achieve desired consistency and scrape the work bowl as necessary.

Puréeing

•To purée fresh fruits or cooked fruits/ vegetables: Ingredients should be cut into

1-inch pieces; a smooth purée is achieved easiest when all the pieces are equal in size. Pulse to initially chop and then process ON until food is puréed; scrape the work bowl as necessary. Do not use this method to purée cooked white potatoes.

•To purée solids for a soup or sauce: Strain the solids from the liquid and process the solids alone. Add cooking liquid and process as needed.

Reversible Slicing/Shredding Disc

•Always pack food in the feed tube evenly

for slicing and shredding. The food will dictate the amount of pressure: Use light pressure for soft foods, medium pressure for medium foods, and firm pressure for harder foods. Always process with even pressure.

•For round fruits or vegetables: Remove a thick slice on the bottom of the food so that it sits upright in the feed tube. If food does not fit in the feed tube, cut in half or quarters to fit. Process with even pressure.

•For small ingredients, like mushrooms, radishes or strawberries: Trim the ends so the food sits upright in the feed tube.

•When slicing or shredding cheese, be sure that the cheese is well chilled before slicing.

•To shred leafy vegetables like lettuce or spinach: Roll leaves together and stand up in feed tube. Process with even pressure.
