Food Processing Tips To grate hard cheeses, such as Parmesan and Romano: Never attempt to process cheese that cannot be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. You can use the multipurpose blade to grate hard cheeses. Cut cheese in 1-inch pieces. Place in work bowl. Process using short pulses until coarsely chopped. Process continuously until finely grated. Pieces of cheese can also added through the feed tube while the processor is running. USING THE REVERSIBLE SLICING/SHREDDING DISC To cut julienne or matchstick strips of vegetables and fruits: Use the slicing side of the disc. Cut food to fit feed tube horizontally. Position food horizontally in feed tube. Process using even pressure to make planklike slices. Restack slices and position vertically or horizontally in feed tube. Process using even pressure. To slice or shred fruits or vegetables that are long and relatively small in diameter, such as celery, carrots, and bananas: Cut food to fit feed tube vertically or horizontally, and pack feed tube securely to keep food positioned properly. Process using even pressure. To slice or shred round fruits and vegetables, such as onions, apples, and green peppers: Peel, core, and remove seeds. Cut in halves or quarters to fit feed tube. Position in feed tube. Sometimes it's easier to remove the work bowl cover and insert large food items into the feed tube from the bottom rather than the top. Process using even pressure. To slice or shred small fruits and vegetables, such as strawberries, mushrooms, and radishes: Position food vertically or horizontally in layers within the feed tube. Fill feed tube in order to keep food positioned properly. Process using even pressure. To shred spinach and other leaves: Use the slicing side of the disc. Stack leaves. Roll up and stand up in feed tube. Process using even pressure. 17
