Raw or cooked meat and fish
Cut into 2cm (
3
⁄
4
”) pieces and remove all bones. Add to the bowl, and chop. If you prefer a coarser
texture, press PULSE. Helpful for home-made burgers, fishcakes and cottage pie.
Vegetables
Again, for best results, cut into 2cm (
3
⁄
4
”) pieces. Add to the bowl, and chop. Harder vegetables such as
onions and carrots will require a higher speed than cooked veg, tomatoes, mushrooms etc.
Breadcrumbs/biscuits
Drop small pieces of bread or biscuit down the feed tube whilst the motor is running.
Batter
Mix the eggs and flour in the bowl, then add milk through the feed tube with the motor running.
Mayonnaise
Mix the egg yolks and seasonings in the bowl, then drizzle oil through the feed tube with the machine
running.
Pastry
Mix the flour and fat in the bowl until they resemble breadcrumbs. Use fat straight from the fridge, cut
into small cubes. Add liquid through the feed tube with the machine running, until the ingredients form
a ball of dough.
Crumble topping
Mix the flour and fat in the bowl until they resemble breadcrumbs. Add the sugar, and mix.
All-in-one Victoria sponge
Place all ingredients in the bowl and mix until smooth.
PLASTIC DOUGH BLADE
This is the right accessory for home-made bread.
1.
Making sure the food processor is unplugged and switched off, place the dough blade onto the
drive shaft in the bowl. It should fit snugly; if the blade does not seem to fit, try turning it the other
way up.
2.
Place the flour, dry ingredients and fat in the bowl.
3.
Fit the lid and food pusher. Plug in and switch on the food processor.
4.
Press MIXING to combine the ingredients, then add liquid through the feed tube with the machine
running. Process until a smooth, elastic dough is formed. This will take 45 to 60 seconds.
5.
Turn the dough out of the bowl and work it into a ball with your hands. We do not recommend re-
kneading in the bowl as this may put undue pressure on the food processor.
PULSE
– press and hold to give an instant burst of full power, to crush ice or to give greater control e.g.
when a coarser texture is required, or to mix fruit and nuts into cake mixture without chopping them
into tiny pieces. You may like to add a little water when crushing ice cubes. Release the PULSE button
when the desired consistency is reached.
MIXING
– to combine ingredients e.g. bread dough, cake mix, pastry, batter, vegetables, sauce and
meat. The food processor will stop automatically when the programme is complete. To stop it sooner,
press the MIXING button again.
CHOPPING
– to chop and puree ingredients e.g. meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, breadcrumbs, soup.
Please remove all bones from meat and fish before chopping. The food processor will stop
automatically when the programme is complete. To stop it sooner, press the CHOPPING button again.
8.
If you prefer to set the speed manually, turn the speed selector anywhere between MIN and MAX.
Pressing the PULSE button will take the blender up to full speed instantly.
9.
When the food is processed, turn the speed selector to OFF. Unplug from the mains socket and
wait for all moving parts to stop completely before removing the lid. Turn the lid anticlockwise to
release it. Carefully remove the blade or disc, then turn the bowl anticlockwise to remove it. Empty
the bowl. See CARE AND CLEANING.
CAUTION: always switch off the food processor before removing the lid. Never use the lid to operate
the food processor.
STAINLESS STEEL BLADE
The double-bladed knife is the most versatile of all the accessories. You’ll find it excellent for chopping
meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, fresh herbs, breadcrumbs and chocolate. It makes short work of mixing
pastry, cakes, biscuits, scones, batter, mayonnaise and pâté; crushing ice; and blending soups, sauces
and milkshakes.
Hard or soft ingredients can be processed and a variety of textures achieved, from rough chopping to
smooth pureeing. If a coarser texture is desired, use the PULSE button for greater control.
PLEASE NOTE: the knife is not suitable for hard ingredients such as coffee beans or nutmeg, or for
turning granulated sugar into caster sugar.
1.
Making sure the food processor is unplugged and switched off, place the blade onto the drive shaft
in the bowl.
2.
Add ingredients to the bowl.
3.
Fit the lid and food pusher. Plug in and switch on the food processor.
4.
According to your ingredients, select one of the pre-set programmes or set the speed manually.
Take care not to over-process.
