Processing Tips
If chopping fruit to add to cake batter,
process before making batter, adding a little
flour from quantity recommended in recipe
to prevent fruit sticking to blades.
When crumbing bread for stuffing, use stale
bread as fresh bread sticks to blades.
Add liquid to pureed foods after processing.
Use the food chute when adding liquid to
processed mixtures.
Peanut butter made in the food processor
will separate on standing. Stir just before
use.
When processing a variety of ingredients, it
is not necessary to remove them after each
addition, unless they exceed the MAX level
marking.
When mixing dry and wet ingredients, the
mixture will process more evenly if the wet
ingredients are placed in the bowl preceding
the dry ingredients.
Egg white foams used for aerating mixtures
such as fruit sorbet, work successfully. A
minimum of 6 egg whites is recommended
to ensure lower section of the Quad
®
processing blade is covered to maximise the
effect.
Beating egg whites for pavlova or meringue,
requires lengthy beating to dissolve the
sugar and entrap the air. The sharp cutting
edge of the processing blade will not aerate
the mixture sufficiently. It is therefore
not recommended to beat egg whites for
meringue in a food processor.
Before slicing and shredding, trim the food to
fit the food chute.
Before slicing and shredding soft, partially
freeze softer structured foods (such as meat)
until just firm.
When finished processing, press the OFF
button, switch the food processor off at the
power outlet and unplug the power cord.
