ENGLISH Food Processing Tips To slice uncooked meat or poultry, such as stir-fry meats: Cut or roll food to fit feed tube. Wrap and freeze food until hard to the touch, 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on thickness of food. Check to be sure you can still pierce food with the tip of a sharp knife. If not, allow to thaw slightly. Process, using even pressure. To slice cooked meat or poultry, including salami, pepperoni, etc.: Food should be very cold. Cut in pieces to fit feed tube. Process food using firm, even pressure. To shred firm and soft cheeses: Firm cheese should be very cold. For best results with soft cheeses, such as mozzarella, freeze 10 to 15 minutes before processing. Cut to fit feed tube. Process, using even pressure. USING THE DOUGH BLADE The dough blade is specially designed for mixing and kneading yeast dough quickly and thoroughly. For the best results, do not knead recipes which use more than 2-3 cups (475 - 710 ml) of flour. Helpful Hints WARNING Cut Hazard Handle blades carefully. Failure to do so can result in cuts. 1. To avoid damage to the blade or motor, do not process food that is so hard or firmly frozen that it cannot be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. If a piece of hard food, such as a carrot, becomes wedged or stuck on the blade, stop the processor and remove the blade. Gently remove food from the blade. 2. 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 11. 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 (235 ml) of liquid or 1⁄2 cup (155 g) solids. 3. Position slicing discs so the cutting surface is just to the right of the feed tube. This allows the blade a full rotation before contacting the food. 4. To capitalize on the speed of the processor, drop ingredients to be chopped through the feed tube while the processor is running. 5. 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.). 6. Soft and medium-hard cheese may spread out or roll up on the shredding disc. To avoid this, shred only well-chilled cheese. 17
