Operate in pulses using bursts of power. If food pieces remain stuck to the sides of the bowl (meat, onions, etc.), use a spatula to release them and distribute them around the bowl before operating 2 or 3 additional pulses.
The measuring graduations on the bowl take into account the volume occupied with the blade fitted, and are provided as a guide only.
