Fruits and Vegetables:
Before processing fruits and vegetables, clean and cut into
2-inch x 1-inch pieces.
•
Mix:
Quantities that can be processed in the processing bowl will vary depending upon
the density of the ingredients being used.
•
Adding liquid ingredients:
Pour liquid ingredients through the feed chute in the lid while
the Food Processor is in operation. The food pusher cup is useful when adding small
quantities of liquids such as oil or water to thin the processed mixture.
•
Adding dry ingredients:
Add dry ingredients such as flour directly into the processing
bowl. There is no need to sift ingredients.
NOTE:
When processing sauces or semi-liquid ingredients, it may be necessary
to periodically scrape down the processing bowl with a spatula.
•
Using the feed chute:
The most important factor for successful slicing and shredding
is the way in which the food is packed into the feed chute. The feed chute should always
be packed firmly to allow each piece of food to support the others.
NOTE:
There will always be a small portion of food left unprocessed between the
food pusher and the processing disc.
CAUTION:
Never use fingers or utensils
to push food down the Feed Chute.
Always use the food pusher.
• Slicing/Shredding
: Cut all ingredients to
a size that fits comfortably into the feed chute
(no larger than 2-inches x 1-1/2 inches).
Pack the feed chute and, while holding food
steady and upright with the food pusher,
press down evenly until all ingredients are sliced
or shredded. Do not use excessive force or you
may damage the Food Processor.
