FUNCTIONS

Using the Chopping/Mixing/Dough Blade
Chopping

• For raw ingredients: Peel, core and/or remove seeds

and pits. Food should be cut into even, ½- to 1-inch
pieces. Foods cut into same size pieces produce the
most even results.

chop, press High or Low to run the machine continuously.
Watch ingredients closely to achieve desired consistency
and scrape the work bowl as necessary. Low speed
is recommended for making doughs and batters.
High speed is recommended for most other chopping,
processing and slicing/shredding tasks.

Puréeing

• To purée fresh fruits or cooked fruits/vegetables:

Ingredients should be cut into 1-inch pieces; a smooth
purée is best achieved when all the pieces are equal in
size. Pulse to initially chop and then process High or Low
until food is puréed; scrape the work bowl as necessary.
Do not use this method to purée cooked white potatoes
as the mixture can become too gummy to process.

• To purée solids for a soup or sauce: Strain the solids

from the liquid and process the solids alone. Add
cooking liquid and process as needed.

Using the Reversible Shredding/Slicing
Discs

• Always pack food in the feed tube evenly for slicing and

shredding. The food will dictate the amount of pressure:
Use light pressure for soft foods, medium pressure

cheese is well chilled.

Roll leaves together and stand them up in feed tube.
Process with even pressure.

NOTE:

Always use the pusher when slicing or shredding.
