Food Processing Tips
To slice uncooked meat or
poultry, such as stir-fry meats:
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.
To slice cooked meat or poultry,
including salami, pepperoni, etc.:
Food should be very cold. Cut in
pieces to fit feed tube. Process food
using firm, even pressure.
To shred firm and soft cheeses:
Firm cheese should be very cold. For
best results with soft cheeses, such as
mozzarella, freeze 10 to 15 minutes
before processing. Cut to fit feed
tube. Process, using even pressure.
To slice or shred items that are
“pear-shaped” like sweet
potatoes, eggplant and squash:
Position food horizontally so that
the bigger/fatter side is to the left of
the feed tube when you are facing
the unit. Process, using even
pressure on the food pusher.
To slice or shred fruits or
vegetables that are long and
small in diameter like celery,
carrots and bananas:
Use the small feed tube in the
two-piece food pusher. Position food
vertically in the tube with the small
end going in first and the large end
being processed last. Use the small
food pusher to process food.
USING THE
DOUGH BLADE
The dough blade is
specially designed for mixing and
kneading yeast dough quickly and
thoroughly. For the best results,
do not knead recipes which use
more than 250 to 375 g (2-3
cups) of flour.
USING THE EGG
WHIP
To make soft egg
white meringue:
Place 3 egg whites and 1 ⁄
4
teaspoon
cream of tartar in work bowl fitted
with egg whip. Process until foamy,
about 30 to 45 seconds. With
processor running, slowly add 40 g
(
1 ⁄
3
cup) sugar through the small feed
tube. Process until stiff peaks form,
about 2
1 ⁄
2
to 3 minutes. Stop
processor as necessary to check
texture of mixture.
To whip cream:
Place heavy cream in work bowl
fitted with egg whip. Process 30
seconds. With processor running,
add 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
through the small feed tube. Process
just until soft peaks form, about 30
to 40 seconds. Stop processor as
necessary to check texture of
mixture. With processor running,
add
1 ⁄
2
teaspoon vanilla, if desired,
through the small feed tube. Process
just until mixed. Do not overprocess.
