Cake making
Sponge type cakes are best made by the ‘all in one method’. All the ingredients are placed into the bowl and processed until smooth - approximately 10 seconds. A ‘soft tub’ margarine used straight from the refrigerator and cut into 2cm/3⁄4in cubes should always be used.
Savoury dips/spreads
Place the solid ingredients into the bowl in 2.5cm/1in cubes. Process until finely chopped. Add the cream etc., and continue to process until the ingredients are well blended.
Batters
With the knife blade in position place the dry ingredients, egg and a little liquid in the bowl, process until smooth. Add the remaining liquid down the feed tube whilst the machine is operating.
Mayonnaise
Place the egg and seasonings into the bowl and mix for a few seconds. With the machine running gradually add the oil down the feed tube in a slow steady stream.
Yeast dough
Place the flour, fat and other dry ingredients into the bowl and process for a few seconds to mix. With the machine running add the liquid mixture down the feed tube and continue processing until the mixture forms a dough and becomes smooth in appearance and elastic to touch - this will take
whisk
Use for egg whites and cream only. The whisk is unsuitable for other recipes. Make sure the bowl and whisk are free from any traces of grease or egg yolk when whisking egg whites.
slicing and shredding plates
what the cutting plates can do.
slicing plate - slices carrots, potato, cabbage, cucumber, courgette, beetroot, onion.
shredding plate - grates cheese, carrot, potato and foods of a similar texture.
to assemble the plate carrier
1 Clip the spacer onto the end of the plate carrier .
2Select the desired plate and fit into the carrier with the cutting side uppermost. ● Locate one end of the plate under the rim and press the other end into position
it will only fit one way round .
important
When using the slicing and shredding plates the spacer must be clipped into position on the end of the carrier.
using the cutting plates
shredding plate
Cut pieces of food to fit the feed tube. Fill the tube almost to the top and push down using the pusher with an even pressure whilst the machine is running. Longer shreds can be obtained by stacking pieces horizontally in the feed tube eg carrot.
slicing plate
If necessary cut food to fit the feed tube. Core foods such as apples and peppers. Pack the food in an upright position in the feed tube. The height should be slightly shorter than the feed tube. Using the pusher, push down with an even pressure whilst the machine is running.
hints
●Use fresh ingredients.
●Don’t cut food up too small. Fill the feed tube fairly full, this prevents food from slipping sideways during processing.
●When slicing or shredding: food placed upright comes out shorter than food placed horizontally.
●After using a cutting plate there will always be a small amount of waste on the plate or in the food.
●Do not allow food to build up to the underside of the plate - empty regularly.
●Push food down the feed tube using an even pressure.
| maxi blend canopy |
| When blending, use the maxi blend canopy in conjunction with the knife blade. |
| It allows you to increase the liquid processing capacity of the bowl and improve |
| the chopping performance of the blade. |
1 | Place the canopy into the bowl over the knife blade - do not push down . |
2 | Fit the lid - the lid will ensure that the canopy is located at the correct height . |
| citrus press (optional attachment) |
| The citrus press is used to juice citrus fruit ie oranges, lemons, limes and |
| grapefruits. |
1 | Fit the bowl onto the processor. Add the strainer and turn clockwise until the fin |
| on the strainer aligns with the mark on the processor body . |
2 | Attach the cone onto the drive shaft turning until it drops all the way down . |
3 | Cut the fruit in half. Switch on and press the fruit onto the cone. |
cleaning
●Always switch off and unplug before cleaning.
●Never let the power unit, cord or plug get wet.
●Handle blades and cutting plates with care - they are extremely sharp.
●Some foods will discolour the plastic. This is perfectly normal. It won’t harm the plastic or affect the flavour of your food. Rubbing with a cloth dipped in vegetable oil helps remove discolouring.
