To finely chop citrus peel:
With a sharp
knife, peel coloured portion (without white
membrane) from citrus. Cut peel in small
strips. Process until finely chopped.
To mince garlic or to chop fresh herbs or
small quantities of vegetables:
With the
processor running, add food through the
feed tube. Process until chopped. For best
results, make sure work bowl and herbs are
very dry before chopping.
To chop nuts or make nut butters:
Process up to 710 mL (3 cups) of nuts
to desired texture, using short pulses,
1 to 2 seconds each time. For a coarser
texture, process smaller batches, pulsing
1 or 2 times, 1 to 2 seconds each time.
Pulse more often for finer texture. For nut
butters, process continuously until smooth.
Store in refrigerator.
NOTE:
Processing nuts and other hard
foods may scratch the surface finish on
the inside of the bowl.
To chop cooked or raw meat, poultry,
or seafood:
The food should be very cold.
Cut in 2.5 cm (1-inch) pieces. Process up to
455 g (1 pound) at a time to desired size,
using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each
time. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.
To make bread, cookie, or cracker crumbs:
Break food into 3.75-5 cm (1½ to 2-inch)
pieces. Process until fine. For larger pieces,
pulse 2 to 3 times, 1 to 2 seconds each
time. Then process until fine.
To melt chocolate in a recipe:
Combine
chocolate and sugar from recipe in work
bowl. Process until finely chopped. Heat
liquid from recipe. With the processor
running, pour hot liquid through the feed
tube. Process until smooth.
To grate hard cheeses, such as Parmesan
and Romano:
Never attempt to process
cheese that cannot be pierced with the
tip of a sharp knife. You can use the
multipurpose blade to grate hard cheeses.
Cut cheese in 2.5 cm (1-inch) pieces.
Place in work bowl. Process, using short
pulses, until coarsely chopped. Process
continuously until finely grated. Pieces of
cheese can also be added through the feed
tube while the processor is running.
To slice
or shred
fruits or
vegetables that are long
and relatively small in
diameter, such as celery,
carrots, and bananas:
Cut food to fit feed tube
vertically or horizontally,
and pack so that the food
is supported. It should not
be packed so tightly that
it cannot move freely. Process using even
pressure with the food pusher, or use the
small feed tube in the 2-piece food pusher.
Position food vertically in the tube and use
the small food pusher to process food.
To slice or shred fruits and vegetables
that are round, such as onions, apples,
and green peppers:
Peel, core, and
remove seeds. Cut in halves or quarters to
fit feed tube. Position in feed tube. Process
using even pressure with the food pusher.
