You are now ready to operate the machine. THE MACHINE FUNCTIONS: PULSE 1.
03CU13535 DLC-2007N IB-5053 Grab the blade hub, and remove the metal blade before tilting the bowl, using a spatula to scrape off any food. Then carefully lift the blade out of the work bowl. Or insert your finger through the hole in the bottom of the work bowl, gripping the blade from the bottom, and grip the outside of the work bowl with your thumb. Or hold the blade in place with your finger or spatula while pouring out food.
03CU13535 DLC-2007N IB-5053 Cut the peel into lengths of 2 inches (5cm) or less and process with 1/2 cup (125 ml) of granulated sugar until finely chopped. This may take 2 minutes or longer. For sticky fruit like dates, raisins, prunes and candied fruit, first freeze the fruit for about 10 minutes. Add some of the flour called for in the recipe to the fruit. Use no more than 1 cup (250 ml) of flour for each cup of fruit. To chop meat, poultry, fish and seafood: The food should be very cold, but not frozen.
03CU13535 DLC-2007N IB-5053 For a “one egg” batch of basic mayonnaise made with pasteurized liquid eggs, place 1/4 cup pasteurized liquid eggs, 2 tablespoons wine vinegar or lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a pinch of ground white pepper in the work bowl. With the machine running, add 1/2 cup of vegetable oil to the small pusher and allow to slowly drip into the mixture while processing.
03CU13535 DLC-2007N IB-5053 Process by pulsing, inspecting after each pulse. Stop pulsing as soon as the dry ingredients have almost disappeared into the batter. Overprocessing will cause quick breads and cakes to be tough. (If your recipe calls for ingredients that are to be coarsely chopped – like raisins or nuts – add them last with the mixed dry ingredients.) To make cake mix: Your food processor work bowl is large enough for the preparation of an 18.5ounce packaged cake mix.
03CU13535 DLC-2007N IB-5053 apples, celery, citrus fruit, potatoes and zucchini. Use firm pressure for hard vegetables like carrots and yams. PRACTICING SLICING AND SHREDDING 1. Insert a slicing or shredding disc, put the cover on the work bowl and insert the food in the feed tube. 2. Slide the pusher into place, and apply pressure to the pusher while pressing down the PULSE button. Release the button as soon as the food is sliced or shredded. 3.
03CU13535 DLC-2007N IB-5053 With the optional Square Julienne Disc, you can make square julienne strips in one operation. SLICING MEAT AND POULTRY Cooked meat and poultry: The food must be very cold. If possible, use a piece of food just large enough to fit in the feed tube. To make julienne strips of ham, bologna or luncheon meat, stack slices, then roll or fold them double and stand upright in the feed tube, wedging in as many rolls as possible.
03CU13535 DLC-2007N IB-5053 well if thoroughly chilled. Hard cheeses like Parmesan shred well only at room temperature. Therefore, only attempt to slice or shred mozzarella when well chilled, and Parmesan when at room temperature. 10/2/03 2:36 PM Page 15 are mixed. Although 30 seconds are usually sufficient, 60 to 90 seconds give better results if the machine does not slow down. Except for kneading, the processing procedures are the same for both types of dough.
03CU13535 DLC-2007N IB-5053 them almost whole, add them 5 seconds before you stop kneading. For a finer texture, add them sooner.) Adding liquids All liquid should be added through the small feed tube while the machine is running. Add liquid in a slow, steady stream, only as fast as dry ingredients absorb it. If liquid sloshes or splatters, stop adding it but do not turn off the machine. Wait until ingredients in bowl have mixed, then add remaining liquid slowly.
03CU13535 DLC-2007N IB-5053 Excessively sticky dough can cause blade to rise even though it cleans inside of work bowl. 10/2/03 2:36 PM Page 17 on top of blade and does not become uniformly kneaded: If dough feels very sticky, reinsert blade and immediately add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) flour through small feed tube while machine is running. Stop machine, carefully remove dough, divide into 3 pieces and redistribute evenly in work bowl. Continue processing until dough is uniformly soft and pliable.
03CU13535 DLC-2007N IB-5053 after all ingredients are incorporated. Rich doughs will give you good results after only 30 seconds of kneading. Blade doesn’t incorporate ingredients: Butter or margarine, if not melted, must be cut into tablespoon-size pieces before being added to work bowl. Dough blade rises in work bowl: Blade may not have been pushed down as far as possible before processing started. Machine may be overloaded. Remove half of dough and process in 2 batches.
03CU13535 DLC-2007N IB-5053 FOR YOUR SAFETY Like all powerful electrical appliances, a Premier Series Food Processor should be handled with care. Follow these guidelines to protect yourself and your family from misuse that could cause injury. Handle and store metal blades and discs carefully. Their cutting edges are very sharp. Always place discs on flat stable surface before connecting detachable stem. Never put blades or discs on the motor shaft until the work bowl is locked in place.
