Food Processing Tips
To grate hard cheeses, such as
Parmesan and Romano:
Never attempt to process cheese that
cannot be pierced with the tip of a
sharp knife. You can use the multi-
purpose 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. Pieces
of cheese can also added through the
feed tube while the processor is
running.
USING A SLICING OR
SHREDDING DISC
To cut julienne, or
match stick, strips of vegetables
and fruits:
Cut food to fit feed tube horizontally.
Position food horizontally in feed
tube. Process, using even
pressure to make plank-
like slices. Re-stack slices
and position vertically or
horizontally in feed tube.
Process, using even
pressure.
To slice or shred fruits or
vegetables that are long and
relatively small in diameter, such
as celery, carrots, and bananas:
Cut food to fit feed
tube vertically or
horizontally, and pack
feed tube securely to
keep food positioned
properly. Process using
even pressure. Or use
the small feed tube in
the two-piece food pusher. Position
food vertically in the tube and use the
small food pusher to process food.
To slice or shred fruits and
vegetables that are round,
such as onions, apples, and
green peppers:
Peel, core, and/or remove seeds. Cut
in halves or quarters to fit feed tube.
Position in feed tube. Sometimes it's
easier to remove the work bowl cover
and insert large food items into the
feed tube from the bottom, rather
than the top. Process, using even
pressure.
To slice or shred fruits and
vegetables that are small, such as
strawberries, mushrooms, and
radishes:
Position food vertically or horizontally
in layers within the feed tube. Fill
feed tube in order to keep food
positioned properly. Process, using
even pressure. Or use the small feed
tube in the two-piece food pusher.
Position food vertically in the tube
and use the small food pusher to
process food.
To shred spinach
and other leaves:
Stack leaves. Roll up
and stand up in feed
tube. Process, using
even pressure.
