Food Processing Tips

English

To grate hard cheeses, such as Parmesan and Pecorino:

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 2.54 cm pieces. Place in work bowl. Process, using short pulses, until coarsely chopped. Process continuously until finely grated. Pieces of cheese can also added through the small feed tube while the processor is running.

Using a Slicing or

Shredding Disc

NOTE: When cutting and packing food items in the

ultra wide mouth feed tube, do not exceed the maximum fill line. This will permit the pusher to engage the interlock and the unit to operate.

To cut julienne, or match stick, strips of vegetables and fruits:

Cut food to fit feed tube horizontally. Position food horizontally in feed tube.

Process, using even pressure to make plank-like slices. Re-stack slices and position vertically or horizontally in feed tube. Process, using even pressure.

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

Peel, core, and/or remove seeds. Cut in halves or quarters to fit feed tube. Position in feed tube. 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, but do not exceed the maximum fill line.
