FOOd PROCESSING AT A GLANCE

PROCESSING TIPS

• Do not fill the bowl above the liquid
max level for wet ingredients. Always
add drier or thicker ingredients to the
processing bowl prior to adding fluids.
• To avoid over-processing when coarsely
chopping food, frequently check
consistency. It is also recommended to
use the pulse function to avoid over-
processing food. Use the spatula to
scrape down the sides of bowl to ensure
an even texture.
• If chopping fruit to add to cake batter,
process before making batter, adding a
little flour from quantity recommended in
recipe to prevent fruit sticking to blades.
• When crumbing bread for stuffing, use
stale bread as fresh bread sticks to blades.
• Add liquid to pureed foods after processing.
• Use the small feed chute when adding
liquid to processed mixtures.
• Peanut butter made in the food
processor will separate on standing. Stir
just before use.
• When processing a variety of
ingredients, it is not necessary to remove
them after each addition, unless they
exceed the MAX level marking.
• When mixing dry and wet ingredients,
the mixture will process more evenly
if the wet ingredients are placed in the
bowl preceding the dry ingredients.
• Egg white foams used for aerating
mixtures such as fruit sorbet, work
successfully. A minimum of 6 egg
whites successfully using a minimum
of 6 egg whites. It is recommended to
use the whisk disc and pulse function to
maximise the effect.
• Beating egg whites for pavlova or
meringue requires lengthy beating to
dissolve the sugar and entrap the air.
It is recommended to use the whisking
disc for best results.
• Before slicing and shredding, trim the
food to fit the feed chute. Do not overfill
beyond the level indicated.
• Before slicing and shredding softer
structured foods (such as meat), partially
freeze until just firm.
