Disc

High

For creaming

:

 Have butter at room temperature. Cut into 1-inch 

pieces. Process, scraping bowl as necessary. For compound 
(flavored) butters, process flavoring ingredients, such as herbs, 
zest, vegetables, etc., before adding butter. 

For shredding/slicing

:

 

Freeze briefly. Use light to medium pressure to shred or slice. 
Shredded butter is great for preparing certain pastry doughs. 
Sliced butter is great for serving alongside corn on the cob or 
freshly made rolls. 

Crumbs (Bread, 
Cookie, Cracker, 
Chip)

Chopping/Mixing Blade

Break into pieces. Pulse to break up, and then process until 
desired consistency. This will make perfect bread/cracker/chip 
crumbs for coating meats and fish. Processed cookies make 
delicious pie and cake crusts.

Wash and dry herbs thoroughly. Pulse to roughly chop. Continue 
pulsing until desired consistency is achieved.

Ground Meat

Chopping/Mixing Blade

1

-inch 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 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 pieces into the work bowl, with 
liquid (juice or milk), any desired sweeteners, such as sugar, 
honey, simple syrup and other flavors. 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

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

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.
