FOOD PROCESSING TIPS

Hard cheese

(Example: Parmesan, Romano)

If the cheese cannot be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, it is too hard to process. Do not use your Food Pro for processing.

If the cheese can be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, it is okay to continue.

Soft Cheese can be shredded with the shredding disks, but when attempting to shred hard cheese, you can use the multi- purpose blade.

Place 1-inch pieces into the work bowl. Process, using short pulses, until coarsely chopped. Process continuously until finely grated. Pieces of cheese can also added through the feed chute while the processor is running.

Soft cheese

For best results with soft cheeses, such as mozzarella, freeze 10 to 15 minutes before processing. Cut to fit feed chute. Process, using even pressure.

Julienne / Matchstick slices

Use the Slicing Disk to prepare julienne or matchstick style strips of produce.

Place food into feed chute horizontally. Using the plunger, push with even pressure to make plank like slices. Place plank like slices into feed chute again. Position the planks vertically for shorter pieces or horizontally for longer pieces. Process, using even pressure.

Slice uncooked meat or poultry

Cut or roll food to fit feed chute. Wrap and freeze food until hard to the touch, 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on thickness of food. Check to be sure you can still pierce food with the tip of a sharp knife. If not, allow items to thaw slightly. Process, using even pressure.

Slice cooked meat or poultry food should be very cold. Cut in pieces to fit feed chute. Process, using even pressure.
