FOOD PROCESSING TECHNIQUES – USING THE CHOPPING BLADE
PULSING TECHNIQUES
The food processor processes food very quickly; in most cases, in seconds!
Therefore, foods can easily become over processed if you don’t watch carefully.
We suggest that when using the chopping blade in the bowl, you process foods
no more than a few seconds at a time. Pulsing ensures excellent results every time.
NOTE: Please be sure that the chopping blade has stopped spinning completely
before removing the cover.
PLACING FOOD INTO BOWL
For the best results, you should try to process pieces of food that are of about
equal size. When you cut, break or tear foods into uniform pieces before you
begin processing, the finished results will be more uniform, too.
You will get faster, more consistent processing results if you do not overload
the
bowl
. When using the cutting blade be sure to fill the bowl only 3/4 of its
maximum capacity.
NOTE: When processing a heavy load, check to be sure the food processor
is sitting firmly on the counter or tabletop.
DO NOT WALK AWAY
FROM THE FOOD PROCESSOR WHILE PROCESSING.
CHOPPING MEATS
Pre-cut meat into pieces about 3/4 inch square.
Place the pieces in the
bowl
,
replace the cover and process using the pulse technique for 5 to 7 seconds.
Never process more than 2 cups of meat cubes at one time.
