Using the Multipurpose Blade

To chop fresh fruits

or vegetables:

Peel, core, and/or remove seeds.

Cut food in 1 to 1

1

/2-inch

(2.5-3.75 cm) pieces. Process

food to desired size, using short pulses, 1 to

2 seconds each time. Scrape sides of bowl,

if necessary.

To puree cooked fruits and vegetables

(except potatoes):

Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) liquid from recipe per

cup (235 ml) of food. Process food, using

short pulses, until nely chopped. Then

process continuously until reaching desired

texture. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.

To prepare mashed potatoes:

Shred hot cooked potatoes using the

shredding disc. Exchange shredding disc

for multipurpose blade. Add softened butter,

milk, and seasonings. Pulse 3 to 4 times,

2 to 3 seconds each time, until smooth and

milk is absorbed. Do not over process.

To chop dried (or sticky) fruits:

The food should be cold. Add 1/4 cup

(60 ml) our from recipe per 1/2 cup

(120 ml) dried fruit. Process fruit, using

short pulses, until reaching desired texture.

To nely chop citrus peel:

With sharp knife, peel colored portion

(without white membrane) from citrus.

Cut peel in small strips. Process until

nely chopped.

To mince garlic or to chop fresh herbs

or small quantities of vegetables:

With processor running, add food through

the feed tube. Process until chopped. For

best results, make sure work bowl and

herbs are very dry before chopping.

To chop nuts or make nut butters:

Process up to 3 cups (710 ml) of nuts

to desired texture, using short pulses,

1 to 2 seconds each time. For a coarser

texture, process smaller batches, pulsing

1 or 2 times, 1 to 2 seconds each time.

Pulse more often for ner texture. For

nut butters, process continuously until

smooth. Store in refrigerator.

NOTE: Processing nuts and other hard

foods may scratch the surface nish on

the inside of the bowl.

To chop cooked or raw meat, poultry

or seafood:

The food should be very cold. Cut in

1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Process up to

1 pound (455 g) at a time to desired size,

using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each time.

Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.

To make bread, cookie,

or cracker crumbs:

Break food into 1

1

/2 to 2-inch (3.75-5 cm)

pieces. Process until ne. For larger pieces,

pulse 2 to 3 times, 1 to 2 seconds each time.

Then process until ne.

To melt chocolate in a recipe:

Combine chocolate and sugar from recipe

in work bowl. Process until nely chopped.

Heat liquid from recipe. With processor

running, pour hot liquid through the feed

tube. Process until smooth.

To grate hard cheeses, such as Parmesan

and Romano:

Never attempt to process cheese that

cannot be pierced with the tip of a sharp

knife. You can use the multi-purpose blade

to grate hard cheeses. Cut cheese in 1-inch

(2.5 cm) pieces. Place in work bowl. Process,

using short pulses, until coarsely chopped.

Process continuously until nely grated. Pieces

of cheese can also be added through the feed

tube while the processor is running.
