Tips And Techniques; Processing Chart - Hamilton Beach Stack & Snap 70822 Use & Care Manual

Tips and Techniques

• For a more uniform
consistency, start with pieces
of food that are similar in size.
Cut food into 1-inch (2.5-cm)
pieces before processing with
Stainless Steel Chopping/
Pureeing Blade and leave room
in Bowl for food to be tossed
around.
• This Food Processor is
excellent to chop, mix, puree,
slice, or shred most foods.
However, to maintain peak
performance, do not use
your Food Processor with the
following: frozen meats, frozen
fruits, ice, grains, coffee beans,
or spices.
• When chopping foods, pulsing
on and off will produce best
results.
• Operating time will depend
on quantity of food being
processed. Most foods can be
sliced, chopped, or shredded
in seconds. If unit is operated
continuously for an extended
period of time, let Food
Processor rest about 4 minutes
before continuing.
• Do not puree or mash starchy
vegetables like potatoes as they
are easily overprocessed and
will become gummy.
• To slice or shred cheese, use
only firm cheese like Cheddar
or Swiss that has been
chilled for at least 30 minutes.
Cheese should be processed
immediately after being
removed from refrigerator.
Soft cheese like mozzarella
should be placed in freezer for
30 minutes prior to processing
to ensure it is firm enough for
shredding.
• Reversible Slicing/Shredding
Disc has a slicing blade on one
side and shredding teeth on the
other. Name stamped on Disc,
facing up, is function selected.
Place on Motor Shaft with
desired cutting edge facing up.
• To julienne vegetables, slice
and then remove from Bowl.
Restack vegetables. Pack into
Food Chute with slices vertical.
Slice again to make matchstick-
cut vegetables.
