FOOD PROCESSING TIPS

Using a Slicing or a 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, applying even pressure to make plank-like slices. Re-stack slices and position vertically or horizontally in feed tube. Process, applying 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 properly positioned. Process, applying even pressure. Or use the small feed tube in the two-piece food pusher. Position food vertically in the tube, and use the small food pusher to process the food.

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

Peel, core, and/or remove seeds. Cut into halves or quarters to fit feed tube. Position in feed tube and process, applying even pressure.
