Food Processing at a Glance

HELPFUL HINTS FOR THE SLICING/SHREDDING DISC

• Position slicing or shredding disc so

that cutting surface is just to the
right of the feed tube to allow
blade a full rotation before
contacting food.

• Different foods require varying

degrees of pressure for best
shredding and slicing results. In
general, use light pressure for soft,
delicate foods 
( strawberries, tomatoes, etc.),
moderate pressure for medium
foods (zucchini, potatoes, etc.) and
firmer pressure for harder foods
(carrots, apples, hard cheeses,
partially frozen meats, etc.).

• Soft and medium-hard cheeses may

spread out or roll up on the
shredding disc. To avoid this, shred
only well-chilled cheese.

• When shredded or sliced food piles

up on one side of the bowl, stop
the processor and redistribute food
using the spatula.

• When food quantity reaches rim of

work bowl, remove it and then
continue processing.

• A few larger pieces of food may

remain on top of the disc after
slicing or shredding. If desired, cut
these by hand and add to mixture.

• Sometimes single foods, such as

carrots or celery, fall over in the
feed tube, resulting in an uneven
slice. To minimize this, position
food at the right side of the feed
tube, or cut food in several pieces
and put all pieces in feed tube
together to help hold each other in
position.
