knife blade/ dough tool
The knife blade is the most versatile of all the attachments. The length of the
processing time will determine the texture achieved. For coarser textures
use the pulse control.
Use the knife blade for cake and pastry making, chopping raw and cooked
meat, vegetables, nuts, pâté, dips, pureeing soups and to also make
crumbs from biscuits and bread.
