hELPfuL TIPS WhEN SLICING AND GRATING
•
Before slicing round fruits and vegetables in the processor, cut a thin slice from the bottom
so food will be more stable. Place food cut side down in feed chute.
•
Always remove seeds and pits before processing.
•
Remove the core from hard vegetables, such as cabbage.
•
When slicing thinner vegetables, cut them just short of the length of the feed chute and
stand them vertically in feed chute so they are solidly packed and cannot turn or tilt.
•
Grate hard cheeses at room temperature.
•
Soft and semi-hard cheeses should be well chilled before grating.
•
After food has been processed, remove the cover and invert on countertop. Remove the
slice/grate disc before removing the workbowl from the processor. Place the disc on top of
the inverted workbowl cover.
GENERAL TIPS fOR uSING ThE fOOD PROCESSOR
•
Organize processing tasks to avoid multiple cleanups of the bowl; process dry before wet.
•
The processor will be more efficient if filled no more than 2/3 full.
•
To take advantage of the speed of the processor, drop foods through the food chute with
the processor running.
•
Apply light pressure on the pusher for soft foods (berries and tomatoes) and slightly more
pressure for hard foods (onions and potatoes).
•
Do not process foods that are so frozen or so hard that the tip of a knife cannot be inserted
into the food.
•
When chopping dried fruits add a little flour to keep the pieces from sticking together.
•
Chill soft cheeses before slicing and grating to prevent the cheese from rolling into a ball on
the disc.
•
When using the slicing / grating disc do not let the food accumulate too high; stop and
empty the workbowl.
•
Although plastic parts of the processor are dishwasher safe, wash them by hand to retain
their clear appearance.
•
To easily clean the workbowl, once empty add a drop of detergent and a little hot water and
pulse several times. Rinse before reusing.
•
Do not use the processor to:
- Grind bones, grains or hard spices
- Liquefy fruits and vegetables
- Slice warm meat and hard cooked eggs; chill them first.
