Food Processing Tips
To grate hard cheeses, such as
Parmesan and Pecorino:
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 2.54 cm
pieces. Place in work bowl. Process,
using short pulses, until coarsely
chopped. Process continuously until
finely grated. Pieces of cheese can
also added through the small feed
tube while the processor is running.

packing food items in the
Ultra Wide Mouth feed tube, do not
