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 A SLICING OR SHREDDING DISC To cut julienne, or match stick, strips of vegetables and fruits: 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. Or use the small feed tube in the two-piece food pusher. Position food vertically in the tube and use the small food pusher to process food. To slice or shred fruits and vegetables that are round, such as onions, apples, and green peppers: Cut food to fit feed tube horizontally. Position food horizontally in feed tube. Process, using even pressure to make planklike slices. Re-stack slices and position vertically or horizontally in feed tube. Process, using even pressure. Peel, core, and/or 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 fruits and vegetables that are small, 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. Or use the small feed tube in the two-piece food pusher. Position food vertically in the tube and use the small food pusher to process food. To shred spinach and other leaves: Stack leaves. Roll up and stand up in feed tube. Process, using even pressure. 15

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 multi-
purpose 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 A SLICING OR
SHREDDING DISC
To cut julienne, or
match stick, strips of vegetables
and fruits:
Cut food to fit feed tube horizontally.
Position food horizontally in feed
tube. Process, using even
pressure to make plank-
like slices. Re-stack 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. Or use
the small feed tube in
the two-piece food pusher. Position
food vertically in the tube and use the
small food pusher to process food.
To slice or shred fruits and
vegetables that are round,
such as onions, apples, and
green peppers:
Peel, core, and±or 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 fruits and
vegetables that are small, 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. Or use the small feed
tube in the two-piece food pusher.
Position food vertically in the tube
and use the small food pusher to
process food.
To shred spinach
and other leaves:
Stack leaves. Roll up
and stand up in feed
tube. Process, using
even pressure.
