JULIENNE DISC
NOTE
Use Julienne Disc with Disc Spindle.
The Julienne disc is positioned on the disc
spindle in the main processing bowl and cuts
food into long thin strips. Common items
to be julienned include carrots, zucchini,
potato and celery. For longer strips, use the
large feed chute and lie the foods down
horizontally. For shorter “match stick” size
strips use the small feed chute and pusher.
