Food Processing Tips

To chop nuts or make nut butters:

Process up to 3 cups (710 ml) of nuts to desired texture, using short pulses,

1 to 2 seconds each time. For a coarser texture, process smaller batches, pulsing 1 or 2 times, 1 to 2 seconds each time.

Pulse more often for finer texture. For nut butters, process continuously until smooth. Store in refrigerator.

To chop cooked or raw meat, poultry or seafood:

The food should be very cold. Cut into

1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Process up to 12 pound (227 g) at a time to desired size, using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Scrape sides of bowl if necessary.

To make bread, cookie, or cracker crumbs:

Break food into 112- to 2-inch (3.75 to

5 cm) pieces. Process until fine. For larger pieces, pulse 2 to 3 times, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Then process until fine.

To melt chocolate for a recipe:

Combine chocolate and sugar from recipe in work bowl. Process until finely chopped. Heat liquid from recipe. With processor running, pour hot liquid through the feed tube. Process until smooth.

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 multipurpose 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.

WARNING

Cut Hazard

Handle blades carefully.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

USING THE REVERSIBLE

SLICING/SHREDDING DISC

To cut julienne or matchstick strips of

vegetables and fruits:

Use the slicing side of the disc. Cut food to fit feed tube horizontally. Position food horizontally in feed tube. Process using even pressure to make plank-like slices. Restack 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 pressure.
