TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

USING THE MULTIPURPOSE BLADE

To chop fresh fruits or
vegetables:
Peel, core, and/or remove
seeds. Cut food in 1 to 11/2
inch (2.5 - 3.75 cm) pieces.
Process food to desired size,
using Low speed. Scrape sides
of bowl, if necessary.
To puree cooked fruits and vegetables
(except potatoes):
Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) liquid from recipe per
cup (235 ml) of food. Process food, using
short pulses, until finely chopped. Then
process continuously until reaching desired
texture. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.
To prepare mashed potatoes:
Shred hot cooked potatoes using the
shredding disc. Exchange shredding disc
for multipurpose blade. Add softened
butter, milk, and seasonings. Pulse 3 to
4 times, 2 to 3 seconds each time, until
smooth and milk is absorbed. Do not over
process.
To chop dried (or sticky) fruits:
The food should be cold. Add 1/4 cup
(60 ml) flour from recipe per 1/2 cup
(120 ml) dried fruit. Process fruit, using
short pulses, until reaching desired texture.
To finely chop citrus peel:
With sharp knife, peel colored 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
1 or 2 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 chop cooked or raw meat, poultry, or
seafood:
The food should be very cold. Cut in 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.
To make bread, cookie, or cracker
crumbs:

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
