" Fine Grate). Use this disc for extra fine grating of hard cheeses like Romano and Parmesan.
Also use this disc for cracker or cookie crumbs or dried bread crumbs.
Caution:
Do not use this disc for
soft cheeses or moist breads as this will clog the disc and give poor results.
CFP26
(

when a coarser result is desired.

(

CFP33
(

") are popular size shredding discs. These discs give a larger, bet-
ter-formed result with foods than grating patterns. They should be selected based on personal choice and
specific applications for shredding cheese (for pizza, lasagna, etc.), or carrots, cabbage, and other
vegetables for preparing salads, appetizers and side dishes. The
CFP28
(

") and
CFP30
(

selections for preparing quality shredded cheese, carrots, cabbage for cole slaw, and other popular foods.
Grating Operation
• Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling as required. Remove pits, stones, and large
seeds. Be sure the food will fit into the proper feed chute.
• Select which feed tube to use. Horizontal placement of carrots will result in long grated pieces, while
using the smaller chute and inserting the food vertically will give you short grated pieces.
• For cheese grating or shredding it is recommended that the cheese be chilled first; otherwise it may
become gummy. A fine coating of cornstarch applied to the cheese can aid in keeping food separated;
cornstarch is tasteless and not visible.
• For grating cheese, it is recommended that a slight pulsating pressure be applied with the pusher, alternat-
ing push/no push until the cheese block is completely grated. Cheese grating puts more strain on the food
processor motor than other tasks and may cause overheating if too much pressure is applied in a continu-
ous manner.
• You can typically expect to grate ten (10) pounds of cheese in about five (5) minutes. It is recommended
that you plan your food preparation in a manner that will allow for five minutes of grating, followed by 5
minutes of food preparation while the machine rests. After fifteen (15) minutes of continuous cheese
grating, allow the machine to cool.
