Packing the Food Tube
One of the most important procedures for successful slicing and shredding with
your new Sunbeam OSKAR
®
Food Processor is the way in which you place or pack food
in the Feed Tube.
When slicing or shredding, cut all ingredients first to a size that fits comfortably into the
OSKAR
®
Feed Tube. Pack the Feed Tube. While holding food steady and upright with the
Food Pusher, press down consistently until all ingredients are sliced or shredded evenly.
The more firmly you push, the thicker the slices or shreds.
For best results, the Feed Tube should always be packed somewhat firmly.
Foods positioned horizontally in the tube will produce long slices or shreds.
For better results, when shredding softer cheeses, such as American, Cheddar,
Mozzarella or Swiss, the cheese should be well chilled before processing.
Harder cheeses such as Parmesan or Romano should be at room temperature
before processing, and grated with the cutting/processing blade.
Preparing the Food:
Long, narrow foods such as carrots or
celery should be cut into even lengths,
about 3 or 4 inches long. Pack the
food into the Feed Tube.
Making shorter slices or shreds:
Pack food items vertically in the
Feed Tube.
Making longer slices or shreds:
Pack food items horizontally in the
Feed Tube.
