Food Processing Tips
To grate hard cheeses, such as
Parmesan and Romano:
Never attempt to process cheese that
cannot be pierced with the tip of a
sharp knife. You can use the multi-
purpose blade to grate hard cheeses.
Cut cheese in 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces.
Place in work bowl. Process, using
short pulses, until coarsely chopped.
Process continuously until finely
grated. Pieces of cheese can also be
added through the small feed tube
while the processor is running.
USING A SLICING OR
SHREDDING DISC
NOTE: When cutting and
packing food items in the
Ultra Wide Mouth™ feed tube, do
not exceed the maximum fill line. This
will permit the pusher to engage the
interlock and the unit to operate.
To cut julienne, or match stick,
strips of vegetables and fruits:
Cut food to fit feed tube horizontally.
Position food horizontally in feed
tube. Process, using
even pressure to make
plank-like slices. Re-stack
slices and position
vertically or horizontally
in feed tube. Process,
using even pressure.
To slice or shred fruits or
vegetables that are long and
relatively small in diameter, such
as celery, carrots, and bananas:
Cut food to fit feed
tube vertically or
horizontally, and pack
feed tube securely to
keep food positioned
properly. Process using
even pressure. Or use the small feed
tube in the 2-piece food pusher.
Position food vertically in the tube
and use the small food pusher to
process food.
To slice or shred fruits and
vegetables that are round,
such as onions, apples, and
green peppers:
Peel, core, and/or remove seeds. Cut
in halves or quarters to fit feed tube.
Position in feed tube. Process, using
even pressure.
To slice or shred fruits and
vegetables that are small, such as
strawberries, mushrooms, and
radishes:
Position food vertically or horizontally
in layers within the feed tube. Fill
feed tube in order to keep food
positioned properly, but do not
exceed the maximum fill line. Process,
using even pressure. Or use the small
feed tube in the 2-piece food pusher.
Position food vertically in the tube
and use the small food pusher to
process food.
