Food Processing Tips

To shred

spinach and

other leaves:

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.

To slice or shred items that are

“pear-shaped” like sweet potatoes,

eggplant and squash:

Position food horizontally so that the

bigger/fatter side is to the left of the feed

tube when you are facing the unit. Process,

using even pressure on the food pusher.

USING THE DOUGH BLADE

The dough blade is specially

designed for mixing and

kneading yeast dough quickly

and thoroughly. One minute or less of

operating time is all that is needed to form

a dough ball. Processing longer than one

minute will make the dough come apart

and stick to the sides of the bowl. For the

best results, do not knead recipes which use

more than 250 to 375 g (2-3 cups) of flour.

USING THE EGG WHIP

To make soft egg white

meringue:

Place 3 egg whites and

1

⁄4 teaspoon cream

of tartar in work bowl fitted with egg

whip. Process until foamy, about 30 to 45

seconds. With processor running, slowly

add 40 g (

1

⁄3 cup) sugar through the small

feed tube. Process until stiff peaks form,

about 2

1

⁄2 to 3 minutes. Stop processor as

necessary to check texture of mixture.

To whip cream:

Place heavy cream in work bowl fitted

with egg whip. Process 30 seconds. With

processor running, add 2 tablespoons

powdered sugar through the small feed

tube. Process just until soft peaks form,

about 30 to 40 seconds. Stop processor as

necessary to check texture of mixture. With

processor running, add

1

⁄2 teaspoon vanilla,

if desired, through the small feed tube.

Process just until mixed. Do not overprocess.
