Food Processing Tips

To grate hard cheeses, such as Parmesan and Romano:

Never attempt to process cheese that cannot be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. You can use the multi- purpose blade to grate hard cheeses. Cut cheese in 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Place in work bowl. Process, using short pulses, until coarsely chopped. Process continuously until finely grated. Pieces of cheese can also be added through the feed tube while the processor is running.

To slice or shred fruits or vegetables that are long and relatively small in diameter, such as celery, carrots, and bananas:

Cut food to fit feed tube vertically or horizontally, and pack feed tube securely to keep food positioned properly. Process using even pressure.

To slice or shred fruits and vegetables that are round, such as onions, apples, and green peppers:

Peel, core, and/or remove seeds. Cut in halves or quarters to fit feed tube. Position in feed tube. Sometimes it's easier to remove the work bowl cover and insert large food items into the feed tube from the bottom, rather than the top. Process, using even pressure.

To slice or shred fruits and vegetables that are small, such as strawberries, mushrooms, and radishes:

Position food vertically or horizontally in layers within the feed tube. Fill feed tube in order to keep food positioned properly. Process, using even pressure.

To shred spinach and other leaves:

Stack leaves. Roll up and stand up in feed tube. Process, using even pressure.
