• If chopping fruit to add to cake mixture, process the fruit before making
the cake mix. Add a little flour (from the quantity of flour in the recipe) to
prevent fruit from sticking to the Quad
®
blade.
• For dates, removes pits and cut into quarters before processing.
Process no more than 1 cup at a time.
SOFT BREADCRUMBS
Break stale bread into chunks (fresh bread will stick to blades).
Process no more than 6–8 slices at a time using the PULSE button at
1–2 second intervals until crumbed to desired consistency. For best results
when making bread crumbs, add one slice at a time.
DRIED BREADCRUMBS
Tear bread into chunks and toast in oven until golden and crisp. Do not over
brown. Process no more than 6–8 slices at a time using the PULSE button
at 1–2 second intervals.
BISCUIT CRUMBS
• Break biscuits into quarters, and weigh a maximum of 250g.
• Process using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to
the desired consistency. Sweet or savoury biscuit crumbs can be used as
an alternative to pastry for sweet or savoury pies.
• Do not process very hard biscuits as this may damage the blades.
PURÉEING WITH THE QUAD
®
BLADE
• The micro-serrated Quad
®
blade purees raw and cooked food to the
consistency required, including baby food.
• Carefully remove the Quad
®
blade after pureeing food and use a spatula
to scrape food adhering to the blade and bowl.
BABY FOOD
Trim and cut vegetables and meat into 2.5cm cubes. Cook vegetables and
meat before processing. Process no more than 7½ cups at a time using the
START | PAUSE button in intervals until the food is pureed to a smooth and
even consistency. Stock, milk or gravy can be added through the small feed
chute if the mixture becomes too thick.
MIXING WITH THE QUAD
®
BLADE
• The Quad
®
blade mixes ingredients for cakes, batters, and cookie
doughs.
• The Quad
®
blade can also emulsify egg-based sauces such as
mayonnaise.
BUTTER CAKE AND BISCUIT DOUGH
• Place softened, chopped butter and sugar into the processing bowl.
Process using the START | PAUSE button until the mixture is lightly
creamed. With the motor running, add eggs one at a time through the
small feed chute, mixing well after each egg is added. Take lid off and
add liquid and dry ingredients to the mixture. Process using the PULSE
button until folded evenly. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Do not
over-process.
• Add choc chips, nuts, dried fruit, etc after the main mixture is done.
Use the PULSE button in very short bursts until the additions are
combined. Do not over-process, as these larger ingredients will break
down quickly.
QUICK-MIX CAKES AND BATTERS
• Place all ingredients in the bowl, starting with liquids, and being careful
not to exceed the MAX LIQUID level. Process using the PULSE button
until folded evenly. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Do not
over-process.
• This method can also be used for melt ’n’ mix cakes, packet cake mixes
and crepe batters.
PASTRY DOUGH
• Place flour and chilled, cubed butter into the processing bowl.
• Do not process more than 3 cups (450g) of flour using the
START | PAUSE button in intervals until the butter is absorbed into
the flour.
• Steadily add liquid through the small feed chute with the motor still
running. Process until the mixture forms a ball.
KNEADING WITH THE DOUGH BLADE
The edges of the plastic dough blade create a softer action for combining
dough ingredients.
BREAD OR PIZZA DOUGH
• Place flour and dry ingredients into the processing bowl, including instant
active dry yeast.
• Do not process more than 3 cups (450g) of flour or using the
START | PAUSE button in intervals.
• Steadily add liquid (including oil, if applicable) through the small feed
chute with the motor still running. Process until the mixture it forms a soft,
elastic dough ball.
• Transfer dough ball to a lightly floured surface and knead for a further
5 minutes if necessary until soft and pliable.
• If processing more than two recipes of dough ingredients (700g flour),
allow the motor base to cool for an extended period before subsequent
kneading to prevent the motor from overloading.
SLICING, GRATING AND SHREDDING
Important: The spindle must be used with both the adjustable slicer and the
reversible shredder/grater.
ADJUSTABLE SLICER
• The adjustable slicer will slice food to an even and consistent thickness.
It can be adjusted to 24 settings, from very fine (0.3mm) to thick (8.0mm).
• To adjust the slicing thickness, hold the adjustable slicing disc by the
outer edge with one hand, and turn the adjustment dial on the underside
with the other hand.
REVERSIBLE GRATER AND SHREDDER
This disc has an array of small blades on both sides of the disc. Align the
disc so larger holes face up for coarser results, or with the smaller holes
facing up for finer results. The discs are labelled showing which side faces
up.
CONTROLLING THE INGREDIENTS
It is important to position the food in the chute to gain maximum control and
best results.
SMALLER INGREDIENTS
For long thin foods such as carrots, cucumbers, zucchini, etc., use the small
feed chute. This will avoid the ingredients from tipping over during slicing.
LARGER INGREDIENTS
The wide feed chute is 14cm wide, and can fit ingredients up to this size.
The chute can be packed to fill the width of the chute. The food should fit
snugly so it is supported in an upright position in the chute, but not so tight
that it could prevent the food from moving down the chute.
