The C444SA (1/32") slicing plate offers a very fine
cut. A possible use for such a fine cut is the prepara-
tion of Japanese style vegetables. Typically these
products (such as carrots or celery) will be placed in
the pusher horizontally to obtain a long thin product.
The C445SA (5/64") slicing plate. Cabbage may be
sliced with this plate for New York Style Cole Slaw.
Carrots curls which adorn many dishes can be
achieved with this slicer. The carrot slices should be
dropped into cold water to permit curling. A nice car-
rot coin for salads can also be obtained.
The C446SA (1/8") slicing plate is ideal for salad bars
i.e.., cucumber slices, carrot “coins” (vertically sliced
Carrots). Lettuce sliced by this plate is readily used
with sandwiches, tacos, etc..
The C477SA (5/32") and C437SA (3/16") slicing plates
are also ideal for salad bar use, for the stock pot where
thicker cuts are desired. This blade is excellent also
for orange or lemon slices as well as tomatoes, where
a nice smooth surface is desired. NOTE: You can
not slice meats or cheeses on any food processor.
The C434SA, C435SA, C436SA slicing plates are
used in conjunction with the dicing grids. In addition
thicker slices can be obtained for use in soups and
stews. The C434SA (9/16") slicer also provides an
excellent cut of lettuce for use in a salad.

The C452GPA hard cheese grating plate is designed
specifically to grate Parmesan or Romano cheese.
CAUTION:
Softer cheese will tend to gum up the
plate. The grated product is very fine. This plate can
be used for making cracker or cookie crumbs. Dried
bread crumbs can be obtained
CAUTION:
the mois-
ture in fresh bread will cause clogging and poor re-
sults.
Use of either the C451GPA, C450GPA, or C453GPA,
fine, medium, and course grating plates are much
dependent upon personal choice and specific appli-
cation. The medium and coarse grating plates offer
a quality grated product with cheese, carrots, cab-
bage for cole slaw, etc..
