The best size potato
for the peeling disc is
around 70mm x 70mm.
Choose potatoes that are
round, rather than elongated.
Peeling other produce
The peeler disc can peel potatoes very well but it
can also be used to peel other firm, round produce
such as beetroot.
It can also peel carrots and sweet potatoes.
Depending on the size, we recommend cutting
carrots and sweet potatoes in 2–3 pieces before
placing them into the bowl.
CHOPPING WITH THE QUAD
®
BLADE
The micro-serrated Quad blade chops raw and
cooked food to the consistency required, from
coarsely chopped to minced. The blades process
very efficiently, and may take less time than
expected to process many large tasks.
Raw vegetables, fruit and cooked meats
Trim and cut food into 2.5cm cubes.
Process no more than 7 cups at a time using
the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until
chopped to desired size or consistency.
Raw meat, chicken and fish
Trim excess fat and sinew, and cut food into 2.5cm
cubes. Ensure all bones are removed. Chill well in
freezer until firm as this will help to cut through the
food more easily. Process no more than 4 cups
(600g) of raw meat at a time. At this capacity the
motor should run for no more than 30 seconds
at a time. Use a combination of the START and
the PULSE button until chopped or minced to the
desired consistency.
Leafy herbs
Wash and dry herbs thoroughly. Remove any
coarse stems. Process no more than 3 bunches
of herbs (approx. 5½ cups) at a time using the
PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until
chopped to the desired consistency.
Use leafy herbs immediately for the most aromatic
results in your recipe.
Nuts
Process no more than 5 cups of shelled nuts
at a time using the PULSE button at 1–2 second
intervals until chopped to the desired consistency.
Nut butters
Process no more than 5 cups of shelled roasted
nuts at a time using the START button until
chopped to the desired consistency.
Soft breadcrumbs
Break stale bread into chunks (fresh bread will
stick to blades). Process no more than 6–8 slices
at a time with the processing bowl, using the
PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until
crumbed to desired consistency.
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 with the processing
bowl, using the PULSE button at 1–2 second
intervals.
Biscuit crumbs
Break biscuits into quarters, and weigh a
maximum of 500g (2 standard packets). 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 (for example
gingernut biscuits) as this may damage the blades.
Dried fruit
For dates and other larger dried fruits, remove pits
and cut into quarters before processing. Process
no more than 1 cup at a time.
Dried fruit can be sticky, and may stick to the
blades during processing.
We recommend putting dried fruit in the freezer for
about 10 minutes before processing. Process no
more than 2 cups (1 cup for large fruits) at a time
using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals
until chopped to the desired consistency.
