Nuts
Process no more than 4½ 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 S-blade.
We do not recommend to process 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
4–6 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
Cookie crumbs
Break cookies into quarters, and weigh a
maximum of 8oz (250g). Process using the
PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until
chopped to the desired consistency. Sweet
or savoury cookie crumbs can be used as an
alternative to pastry for sweet or savory pies.
Do not process very hard cookies as this may
damage the blades.
PURÉEING WITH THE
MICRO-SERRATED S-BLADE™
The S-blade purées raw and cooked food to
the consistency required, including baby food.
The blades process very efficiently, and cut
the time needed to purée many tasks.
Always remember to place the S-blade into
the processing bowl before adding the food.
Carefully remove the S-blade after puréeing
food and use a spatula to scrape food
adhering to the blade and bowl.
Baby food
Trim and cut vegetables and meat into 1 inch
(2.5cm) cubes. Cook vegetables and meat
before processing. Process no more than
6 cups at a time using the START button in
intervals until the food is puréed to a smooth
and even consistency. Stock, milk or gravy
can be added through the small feed chute if
the mixture becomes too thick.
Excess baby food can be frozen in
ice-cube trays, and packed in single serve
freezer bags ready for use.
Peanut butter
Process no more than 4½ cups of shelled
nuts at a time using the START button until
chopped to the desired consistency.
The volume of nuts reduces after processing,
for example 2 cups of nuts will make around
1 cup of nut butter.
Natural nut butter (without using stabilizers)
will separate on standing, and needs to be
stirred before use.
