Raw vegetables, fruit and cooked meats
Trim and cut food into 2.5cm cubes.
Process no more than 5 ½ cups at a time using
the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals
until chopped to desired size or consistency.
Raw meat, chicken and fish
Trim excess fat and cut food into
2.5cm cubes. Ensure all bones are removed.
Chill well in freezer until firm as this will
help to cut through the food more readily.
Process no more than 1kg of raw meat at a
time. At this capacity the motor should run
for no more than 30 seconds at a time. Use a
combination of the START and the PULSE
button until chopped or minced to the
desired consistency.
Garlic, chilli and ginger
Peel garlic cloves and process them whole.
Leave chillies whole, or remove seeds for
milder chilli. Peel and cut ginger into
2.5cm cubes.
For other solid herbs like lemongrass or
galangal, peel and cut into cubes or pieces
between 1 and 2cm in size.
Size should be made smaller for harder or
more dense herbs.
Process using the PULSE button at
1–2 second intervals until chopped to the
desired consistency.
If adding garlic, chilli or ginger to other
ingredients, drop whole pieces down the
small feed chute while the motor is running.
Leafy herbs
Wash and dry herbs thoroughly.
Remove any coarse stems. Process no more
than 2 bunches of herbs (approx. 4 cups) at
a time using the PULSE button at
1–2 second intervals until chopped to the
desired consistency.
Use leafy herbs immediately for the most
aromatic results in your recipe.
Nuts
Process no more than 4 cups of shelled
nuts at a time using the PULSE button at
1–2 second intervals until chopped to the
desired consistency.
Dried fruit
Dried fruit can be sticky, and may stick to the
blades during processing. We recommend
putting dried fruit in the freezer for about
10 minutes before processing. Process no
more than 2 cups at a time using the PULSE
button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped
to the desired consistency.
If chopping fruit to add to cake mixture,
process the fruit before making the cake mix.
Add a little flour (from the quantity of flour
in the recipe) to prevent fruit from sticking to
the Quad blade.
We do not recommend chopping large dried
fruits such as dates and figs.
Soft breadcrumbs
Break stale bread into chunks (fresh bread
will stick to blades). Process no more than
4 slices at a time using the PULSE button at
1–2 second intervals until crumbed to desired
consistency. For best results when making
bread crumbs, add one slice at a time.
Dried breadcrumbs
Tear bread into chunks and toast in oven
until golden and crisp. Do not over
brown. Process no more than 4–6 slices
at a time using the PULSE button at
1–2 second intervals.
Biscuit crumbs
Break biscuits into quarters, and weigh a
maximum of 250g. Process using the PULSE
button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped
to the desired consistency. Sweet or savoury
biscuit crumbs can be used as an alternative
to pastry for sweet or savoury pies.
Do not process very hard biscuits as this may
damage the blades.
