Handy hints for In Bowl Processing

Chopping

For the best, most consistent results, you should try to process pieces of food that are approximately equal in size. When you break, cut or tear food into uniform pieces before you begin processing, the finished results will be more uniform.

More consistent processing results are achieved if the container is not overloaded.

Mincing

Pre-cut meat into cubes approximately 2cm square.

Vegetables

When processing vegetables such as onions, peel and quarter or cut large vegetables into eighths.

Mixing

The quantities that can be processed within the processing bowl will vary with the density of the mixture.

Adding ingredients

When various recipes require dry ingredients such as flour, add them directly into the processing bowl before processing. There is no need to sift ingredients when using your MultiProcessor. Liquid ingredients may be added while the processor is operating by pouring through the feed tube in the processor cover.

Note: When processing sauces or semi-liquid ingredients, stop the food processor and scrape down the bowl sides with the spatula provided.

Using the Feed Tube

Slicing, shredding and grating

Cut all ingredients to a size that fits comfortably into the feed tube. Pack the feed tube and, while holding food steady and upright with the food pusher, press down evenly until all ingredients are sliced or shredded. The more firmly you push, the thicker the slices or shreds. Do not use excessive force or you may damage the food processor.

Note: Never use fingers to push food down the feed tube. Always use the food pusher.

For best results when slicing

The feed tube should always be packed firmly to allow each piece of food to support the others. There will always be a small portion of food left unprocessed between the food pusher and the blade.

Preparing longer slices

Pack food items horizontally in the feed tube, see Figure 31.

Fig 31

The most important factor for successful slicing and shredding is the way in which the food is packed into the feed tube.
