TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS To finely chop citrus peel: With sharp knife, peel coloured portion (without white membrane) from citrus. Cut peel in small strips. Process until finely chopped. To mince garlic or to chop fresh herbs or small quantities of vegetables: With processor running, add food through the feed tube. Process until chopped. For best results, make sure work bowl and herbs are very dry before chopping. To chop nuts or make nut butters: Process up to 3 cups (710 mL) of nuts to desired texture, using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each time. For a coarser texture, process smaller batches, pulsing one or two times, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Pulse more often for finer texture. For nut butters, process continuously until smooth. Store in refrigerator. NOTE: Processing nuts and other hard foods may scratch the surface finish on the inside of the bowl. To make bread, cookie, or cracker crumbs: Break food into 1½ to 2-inch (3.75-5 cm) pieces. Process until fine. For larger pieces, pulse two to three times, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Then process until fine. To melt chocolate in a recipe: Combine chocolate and sugar from recipe in work bowl. Process until finely chopped. Heat liquid from recipe. With processor running, pour hot liquid through the feed tube. Process until smooth. 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 (2.5 cm) pieces. Place in work bowl. Process, using short pulses, until coarsely chopped. Process continuously until finely grated. Pieces of cheese can also be added through the feed tube while the processor is running. To chop cooked or raw meat, poultry, or seafood: The food should be very cold. Cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Process up to 1 pound (455 g) at a time to desired size, using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary. USING THE REVERSIBLE SLICING/SHREDDING DISC OR SLICING DISC Rotating Blade Hazard Always use food pusher. Keep ngers out of openings. Keep away from children. Failure to do so can result in amputation or cuts. 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 so that the food is supported. It should not be packed so tightly that it cannot move freely. Process using even pressure with the food pusher, 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 remove seeds. Cut in halves or quarters to fit feed tube. Position in feed tube. Process using even pressure with the food pusher. 12 | TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS W11186023C.indb 12 10/19/2018 6:08:14 PM
