ķ℀ĸ Helpful Hints s Organize processing tasks to minimize bowl cleanup. Process dry or firm ingredients before liquid ingredients. s Do not overfill work bowl or mini bowl. For thin mixtures, fill work bowl up to 1⁄2 to 2⁄3 full. For thicker mixtures, fill work bowl up to 3⁄4 full. For liquids fill up to the maximum level as described on page 16. When chopping, the work bowl should be no more than 1⁄3 to 1⁄2 full. Use the mini bowl for up to 1 cup of liquid or 1⁄2 cup solids. s To capitalize on the speed of the processor, drop ingredients to be chopped through the feed tube while the processor is running, whether using the work bowl or the mini bowl. s Position slicing and shredding discs so that cutting surface is to the right of the feed tube to allow blade a full rotation before contacting food. s 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.). s Never process any food that is so hard or firmly frozen that it cannot be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Hard food can cause damage to the blade or power base. If a piece of hard food, such as carrot, becomes wedged or stuck on the blade, stop the processor and remove the blade. Carefully remove food from the blade. s When preparing a cake or cookie batter or quick bread, use the multipurpose blade to cream fat and sugar first. Add dry ingredients last. Place nuts and fruit on top of flour mixture to prevent overchopping. Process nuts and fruits, using short pulses, until blended with other ingredients. Do not overprocess. s 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 right side of feed tube, or cut food in several pieces and put all pieces in feed tube together to help hold each other in position. 22
