FOOD PROCESSINg HINTS
1. For best results, cut or tear food into pieces
approximately equal in size before processing. The nished results
will be more uniform. Consistent processing results are achieved if
the container has 2 to 4 cups of fruits or vegetables.
2. Pre-cooked meat into cubes approximately 1-inch square.
3. Before processing fruits and vegetables,
clean and cut into 1-inch pieces.
4. Quantities that can be processed within the Processing
Bowl will vary depending upon the density of the ingredients
being used.
5. Liquid ingredients may be added while the
processor is operating by pouring through the Feed Tube in
the Cover.
6. The most important factor for successful
slicing and shredding is the way in which the food is packed into the
Feed Tube. The Feed Tube should always be packed rmly to allow
each piece of food to support the others. There will always be a
small portion of food left unprocessed between the Food Pusher and
the Blade.
Never use ngers or other utensils to push food down the
Feed Chute. Always use the Food Pusher.
7. Cut all ingredients to a size that ts com-
fortably into the Feed Tube. Pack the Feed Tube and, while holding
food steady and upright with the Food Pusher, press down evenly
until all ingredients are sliced or shredded. Do not use excessive
force or you may damage the Food Processor.
8. Pack food items horizontally in Feed Tube.
9. Pack food items vertically in Feed Tube.
10. For best results remember that softer foods such as
cheese (Cheddar, mozzarella or Swiss) should be well chilled before
processing. Harder foods such as Parmesan or Romano cheese
should be at room temperature before processing.
When grating Parmesan cheese do not apply excessive
pressure to the Food Pusher.
