Food Processing Tips
To slice or shred round fruits
and vegetables, such as onions,
apples, and green peppers:
Peel, core, and remove seeds. Cut in
halves or quarters to fit feed tube.
Position in feed tube. Sometimes it’s
easier to remove the work bowl cover
and insert large food items into the feed
tube from the bottom rather than the
top. Replace work bowl cover. Process
using even pressure.
To slice or shred small fruits and
vegetables, such as strawberries,
mushrooms, and radishes:
Position food vertically or horizontally in
layers within the feed tube. Fill feed tube
in order to keep food positioned properly.
Process using even pressure.
To shred spinach and other leaves:
Use the slicing side of the disc. Stack
leaves. Roll up and stand up in feed tube.
Process using even pressure.
To slice uncooked meat or poultry,
such as stir-fry meats:
Cut or roll food to fit feed tube. Wrap
and freeze food until hard to the touch,
30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on
thickness of food. Check to be sure you
can still pierce food with the tip of a
sharp knife. If not, allow to thaw slightly.
Process using even pressure.
To slice cooked meat or poultry,
including salami, pepperoni, etc.:
Food should be very cold. Cut in pieces
to fit feed tube. Process food using firm,
even pressure.
To shred firm and soft cheeses:
Firm cheese should be very cold. For
best results with soft cheeses such as
mozzarella, freeze 10 to 15 minutes
before processing. Cut to fit feed tube.
Process using even pressure.
