Food Processing Tips
USING THE
MULTIPURPOSE
BLADE
To chop fresh fruits or vegetables:
Peel, core, and remove seeds. Cut food
in 1- to 11⁄2 -inch (2.5 to 3.75 cm) pieces.
Process food to desired size, using short
pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Scrape
sides of bowl if necessary.
To puree cooked fruits and
vegetables (except potatoes):
Add 1⁄4 cup (60 ml) liquid from recipe
per cup (235 ml) of food. Process food
using short pulses until finely chopped.
Then process continuously until desired
texture is achieved. Scrape sides of bowl
if necessary.
To prepare mashed potatoes:
Shred hot cooked potatoes using the
shredding disc. Exchange shredding disc
for multipurpose blade. Add softened
butter, milk, and seasonings. Pulse 3 to
4 times, 2 to 3 seconds each time, until
smooth and milk is absorbed. Do not
over process.
To chop dried (or sticky) fruits:
The food should be cold. Add 1⁄4 cup
(60 ml) flour from recipe per 1⁄2 cup
(120 ml) dried fruit. Process fruit using
short pulses until desired texture
is achieved.
To finely chop citrus peel:
With sharp knife, peel colored portion
(without white membrane) from citrus.
Cut peel in small strips. Process until
finely chopped.
To mince garlic or to chop fresh
herbs or small quantities of
vegetables:
With processor running, add food
through the feed tube. Process until
chopped. For best results, make sure work
bowl and herbs are very dry
before chopping.

Handle blades carefully.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
