Chopping Use processing blade
Ingredients Procedure
ONIONS, VEGETABLES, FRUITS,
COOKED MEATS
Cut ingredients into approximately 2.5cm cubes. Place in
processing bowl, up to 750g at a time. Process, using the PULSE
switch until the ingredients are chopped as desired. Remove lid
and scrape the sides down with the spatula between pulses to
ensure more even chopping.
RAW MEATS (BONELESS)
Trim the meat of fat and gristle, remove any bones. Cut into 2.5cm
cubes. Process up to 750g at a time on MED or MAX speed,
scraping down the sides of the bowl, until the meat is coarse or
fine as desired.
HERBS
Make sure the herbs are as dry as possible. Place in the
processing bowl and process on MED or MAX speed, until finely
chopped. Scrape down the sides of the bowl at least once during
processing. Up to 4 cups of firmly packed herbs can be processed
at a time.
BREADCRUMBS OR BISCUIT
Quarter the slices of bread and break up the biscuits. Place them
in the processing bowl and process using MED speed. Process up
to 11⁄2 loaves of bread, crusts removed, or 1 loaf with crusts, at a
time. Use stale bread for dry breadcrumbs.
NUTS (SHELLS REMOVED)
Place up to 2 cups of nuts in the processing bowl at a time and
process using the PULSE switch. If chopped too finely the nuts
will become oily and eventually form a butter. Processing smaller
quantities at one time will ensure even chopping.
HARD CHEESES
To process hard cheese such as Parmesan, first cut the cheese
into 2 cm cubes. Turn speed to LOW, and drop cubes of cheese
down the feed tube, processing 200g at a time.
HARD BOILED EGGS
Shell and halve the eggs before placing in the processing bowl.
Process using the PULSE switch.
Pureeing Use processing blade

MAX speed. If some ingredients are to remain in pieces, add them
last and mix in using the PULSE switch.
