Peel the onions and halve if too large to fit into the
feed tube. Place the onions in the feed tube, cut
edge down. Process, exerting firm pressure on the
food pusher.
Prepare the foods in the usual way. For rings arrange
foods vertically in the feed tube, cutting them so
they are even in height. For slices arrange foods
horizontally in the feed tube. Process by exerting firm
pressure on the food pusher.
Remove the core and seeds. Halve the capsicums
if necessary and arrange them vertically in the feed
tube. Process using firm pressure on the food pusher.
Wipe the mushrooms and pack in the feed tube
on their sides. Process using firm pressure on the
feed pusher.
Peel if desired, remove the stone and quarter the
fruit. Lie the quarters on their sides in the feed tube
and process using firm pressure of the food pusher.
Prepare the beans. Cut into lengths and pack
horizontally into the feed tube. Process using firm
pressure on the food pusher.
Cut cabbage into wedges to fit feed tube and
process using firm pressure.
Separate the leaves of the lettuce and wash and
dry. Roll the leaves firmly and pack into the feed
tube. Process using firm pressure.
Trim meat of fat and gristle and cut to fit snugly in
the feed tube. Freeze until partly frozen. Process
using firm pressure.
Pack the feed tube snugly placing meat in the feed
tube vertically. Process using firm pressure. For more
even slicing remove sausage skins first.
Trim the ends of the cucumber and cut into
lengths to fit the tube vertically. If the cucumber is
too wide, scoring it length wise with a fork will make
it more pliable.
Peel the potatoes and cut into pieces if necessary
to fit the feed tube. Process using firm pressure.
Cut the cheese into pieces large enough to just fit
the feed tube. Process using light pressure on the
feed tube to prevent cheese crumbling.
