Tips and Techniques
• For a more uniform consistency, food
pieces should be similar in size and small
enough to be tossed around inside Bowl.
• This Food Processor is excellent to
chop, mix, slice, or shred most foods.
However, to maintain peak performance,
do not use your Food Processor for
the following: grinding coffee beans or
spices, slicing frozen meats, or crushing
ice.
• When chopping foods, using PULSE or
a low speed setting on Speed Control
Dial for short periods will produce best
results.
• Operating time will depend on quantity
of food being processed. Most foods
can be sliced, chopped, or shredded in
seconds. If unit is operated continuously
for an extended period of time, let the
Food Processor rest about 15 minutes
before continuing.
• Do not puree or mash starchy vegetables
like potatoes as they are easily
overprocessed and will become gummy.
• To slice or shred cheese, use only
firm cheese like Cheddar or Swiss
that has been chilled for at least 30
minutes. Cheese should be processed
immediately after being removed
from the refrigerator. Soft cheese like
mozzarella must be placed in the freezer
for 30 minutes prior to processing to
ensure it is firm enough for shredding.
