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

crumbs for coating meats and fish. Processed cookies make
delicious pie and cake crusts.
Fresh Herbs

Pulse
Wash and dry herbs thoroughly. Pulse to roughly chop. Continue
pulsing until desired consistency is achieved.
Ground Meat
Chopping/Mixing Blade
Pulse
Cut meat into
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

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.

Superfine Sugar
Chopping/Mixing Blade

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.
