Food Processing Tips USING THE MULTIPURPOSE BLADE To mince garlic or to chop fresh herbs or small quantities of vegetables: With processor running, add food through the feed tube. Process until chopped. For best results, make sure work bowl and herbs are very dry before chopping. To chop fresh fruits or vegetables: Peel, core, and/or remove seeds. Cut food in 1 to 11⁄2-inch pieces. Process food to desired size, using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.
Food Processing Tips To grate hard cheeses, such as Parmesan and Romano: To slice or shred fruits or vegetables that are long and relatively small in diameter, such as celery, carrots, and bananas: Never attempt to process cheese that cannot be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. You can use the multipurpose blade to grate hard cheeses. Cut cheese in 1-inch pieces. Place in work bowl. Process, using short pulses, until coarsely chopped. Process continuously until finely grated.
Food Processing Tips To slice uncooked meat or poultry, such as stir-fry meats: USING THE DOUGH BLADE Cut or roll food to fit feed tube. Wrap and freeze food until hard to the touch, 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on thickness of food. Check to be sure you can still pierce food with the tip of a sharp knife. If not, allow to thaw slightly. Process, using even pressure. The dough blade is specially designed for mixing and kneading yeast dough quickly and thoroughly.
Helpful Hints 7. Sometimes slender foods, such as carrots or celery, fall over in the feed tube, resulting in an uneven slice. To minimize this, cut food in several pieces and pack the feed tube with the food. 8. When preparing a cake or cookie batter or quick bread, use the multipurpose blade to cream fat and sugar first. Add dry ingredients last. Place nuts and fruit on top of flour mixture to prevent overchopping. Process nuts and fruits, using short pulses, until blended with other ingredients.
Helpful Hints 15. To remove the contents of the work bowl without removing the multipurpose blade, grasp the work bowl from the bottom and place one finger through the center opening to hold the blade in place. Then remove food from the bowl and blade with a spatula. 16.
