BFP11 (5⁄64") is used to slice cucumbers, carrots, celery and other vegetables for salads and salad bars. BFP13 (5⁄32") is a popular multiuse size for slicing. Ideal for salad bars, cucumber slices, carrot coins, and sliced lettuce for deli sandwiches and tacos. This slicing disc can also be used to produce half-slices of tomatoes, bell peppers, or onions. BFP15 (1⁄4"). This size and larger sizes are ideal for making thicker slices for soups and stews. BFP16 (1⁄16" Waved). This waved slicing disc is great for making decorative thin slices of carrots, celery, and other vegetables. Ruffled potato slices can also be produced with this accessory. 18 Slicing Operation Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling as required. Remove pits, stones, and large seeds. Be sure the food will fit into the proper feed chute. Foods such as carrots, cucumbers, etc., should be cut flat at both ends to provide a consistent slice throughout the whole product. With foods like cabbage, lettuce or any product that has an undesirable core, the core should be removed. Medium size cabbage or lettuce heads may be cut into thirds to fit in the feed chute. Larger heads may need to be quartered. When food preparation is complete, fill the chosen feed chute, put the pusher in place, turn the machine on and monitor the results. Pulping/Grating/Shredding Discs Waring Item No. BFP17 BFP19 BFP21 Size Millimeters 0.4 mm Pulping 0.4 mm Grating 2 mm Grating Size Inches 1⁄64" 1⁄64" 5⁄64" Waring Item No. BFP22 BFP23 BFP24 BFP33 Size Millimeters 4 mm Shredding 6.5 mm Shredding 8 mm Shredding 5 mm Shredding Size Inches 5⁄32" 1⁄4" 5⁄16" 3⁄16" BFP19 (1⁄64" Fine Grate). Use this disc for extra fine grating of hard cheeses like Romano and Parmesan. Also use this disc for cracker or cookie crumbs or dried bread crumbs. Caution: Do not use this disc for soft cheeses or moist breads, as this will clog the disc and give poor results. BFP21 (5⁄64") is a larger grating disc for medium and coarse grating. This is appropriate for processing grated carrots, cheese and other foods. Select based on personal choice and specific applications for grating cheese, carrots, etc. BFP22 (5⁄32"), BFP23 (1⁄4"), BFP24 (5⁄16") BFP33 (5⁄16") are popular-size shredding discs. These discs have a larger, better formed result with foods than grating patterns. They should be selected based on personal choice and specific applications for shredding cheese (for pizza), or carrots, cabbage, and other vegetables for preparing salads and side dishes. 19
