BASIC FOOD PROCESSING TECHNIQUES
The food processor can process food in a
variety of ways depending on which blade or
disc you choose.
CHOPPING WITH THE
MICRO-SERRATED S BLADE™
The Micro-serrated universal S Blade™ chops
raw and cooked food to the consistency
required, from coarsely chopped to minced.
For many large processing tasks, the micro-
serrated S Blade
™ will cut the processing
time needed to achieve the desired results.
The result depends on the type of food and
how long the food is processed. Always
remember to place the S Blade
™
into the
processing bowl before adding the food.
NOTE
To avoid over-processing, check the
consistency frequently. For many
processing tasks we recommend to
use the PULSE button, as it may only
take a few seconds to fully process
the food to the desired consistency.
If necessary, press the POWER/OFF
button, unlock the lid and use the
spatula to scrape down the sides of the
bowl to ensure even processing.
Raw Vegetables, Fruit and Cooked Meats
Trim and cut food into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes.
Process no more than 8 cups at a time using
the PULSE button at 1-2 second intervals
until chopped to desired size or consistency.
Spanish Onion wedges Chopped Spanish Onion
Raw meat, chicken and fish
Trim and cut food into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes.
Ensure all bones are removed. Chill well
until firm as this will help to cut through the
food more readily. Process no more than 2
1/4 pounds (or 1kg of raw meat for no more
than 30 seconds at a time) using the START/
PAUSE button until chopped or minced to
desired size or consistency.
