The best size potato
for the peeling disc is
around 70mm x 70mm.
Choose potatoes that are
round, rather than elongated.
Peeling other produce
The peeler disc can peel potatoes very well
but it can also be used to peel other firm,
round produce such as beetroot.
It can also peel carrots and sweet potatoes.
Depending on the size, we recommend cutting
carrots and sweet potatoes in 2–3 pieces before
placing them into the bowl.
CHOPPING WITH THE QUAD
®
BLADE
The micro-serrated Quad blade chops raw and
cooked food to the consistency required, from
coarsely chopped to minced. The blades process
very efficiently, and may take less time than
expected to process many large tasks.
Raw vegetables, fruit and cooked meats
Trim and cut food into 2.5cm cubes.
Process no more than 7 cups at a time using
the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals
until chopped to desired size or consistency.
Raw meat, chicken and fish
Trim excess fat and sinew, and cut food into
2.5cm cubes. Ensure all bones are removed.
Chill well in freezer until firm as this will help
to cut through the food more easily. Process
no more than 4 cups (600g) of raw meat at a time.
At this capacity the motor should run for no more
than 30 seconds at a time. Use a combination of
the START and the PULSE button until chopped
or minced to the desired consistency.
Leafy herbs
Wash and dry herbs thoroughly. Remove
any coarse stems. Process no more than
3 bunches of herbs (approx. 5½ cups) at a time
using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals
until chopped to the desired consistency.
Use leafy herbs immediately for the most
aromatic results in your recipe.
Nuts
Process no more than 5 cups of shelled
nuts at a time using the PULSE button
at 1–2 second intervals until chopped
to the desired consistency.
Nut butters
Process no more than 5 cups of shelled
roasted nuts at a time using the START button
until chopped to the desired consistency.
Soft breadcrumbs
Break stale bread into chunks (fresh bread
will stick to blades). Process no more than
6–8 slices at a time with the processing bowl,
using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals
until crumbed to desired consistency.
Dried breadcrumbs
Tear bread into chunks and toast in oven until
golden and crisp. Do not over brown. Process
no more than 6–8 slices at a time with the
processing bowl, using the PULSE button
at 1–2 second intervals.
Biscuit crumbs
Break biscuits into quarters, and weigh
a maximum of 500g (2 standard packets).
Process using the PULSE button at
1–2 second intervals until chopped to the
desired consistency. Sweet or savoury biscuit
crumbs can be used as an alternative to pastry
for sweet or savoury pies.
Do not process very hard biscuits (for example
gingernut biscuits) as this may damage
the blades.
Dried fruit
For dates and other larger dried fruits, remove
pits and cut into quarters before processing.
Process no more than 1 cup at a time.
Dried fruit can be sticky, and may stick
to the blades during processing.
We recommend putting dried fruit in the freezer
for about 10 minutes before processing.
Process no more than 2 cups (1 cup for
large fruits) at a time using the PULSE button
at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to the
desired consistency.
