Continue pulsing until desired consistency is achieved.

Ground Meat

Cut meat into 

1

-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Pulse to chop, about  

25 long pulses, or until desired consistency is achieved. If a 
purée is desired, continue to process. Never chop/purée 
more than 2 pounds (907 g) at one time. Make sure to never 
process meat containing bones.

“Ice Cream”

 

Chopping/Mixing Blade

Pulse  
and High

Put frozen fruit cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces into the work 
bowl, with liquid (juice or milk), any desired sweeteners, 
such as sugar, honey, simple syrup and other flavours. Pulse 
to break up. Process until smooth. 

Milk Shakes/
Smoothies

Chopping/Mixing Blade

Low

For milk shakes, first add ice cream. While unit is running,  
add milk through the feed tube until desired consistency is 
achieved. For smoothies, add fruit first, then add the liquid 
through the feed tube while unit is running. 

Nuts

Chopping/Mixing Blade

Pulse and 
High

Pulse to chop to desired consistency. To make a nut butter, 
pulse to break up, and then process until smooth, stopping  
to scrape down as needed.

Superfine Sugar

Chopping/Mixing Blade

High

Process granulated sugar for about 1 minute until finely 
ground. Excellent for using in meringues and other baked 
goods. 

Whipped Cream

Chopping/Mixing Blade

Low

Process well-chilled cream until cream begins to thicken.  
Add sugar as desired; process continuously until cream 
reaches desired consistency. This cream is dense and 
perfect as a whipped topping for cake or ice cream.

DOUGH BLADE 

Dough Blade Operation 

 For use with the large bowl. Carefully place  

the dough blade on the shaft and push to lock  

into place.

Kneading  

(using the Dough Blade or the Chopping/

Mixing Blade with Low Speed)

•  The chopping blade is ideal for pastry doughs, 

while the dough blade is specifically designed  
for kneading yeast doughs.

•  The large pusher lock is recommended to be in 

the locked position when kneading dough to 
avoid it from moving around — some vibration is 
still normal.

•  Dough kneading should be done in the large 

bowl only.
