Basic food Processing techniques
NUTS Ensure shells of nuts are removed. For
crushed nuts use PULSE button until
chopped to desired consistency. For fine nut
meal process on speed 1 until a fine and
even texture is achieved. It may be necessary
to scrape the edges of the bowl using the
spatula to ensure more even chopping. Do
not over process or nuts will become oily and
produce a nut butter (see 'Peanut Butter)
DRIED FRUIT As dried fruit can be sticky, place in freezer
for about 10 minutes (this prevents the fruit
sticking to the blades). Process using the
PULSE button until chopped to desired size
or consistency.
NOTE: If chopping fruit to add to cake batter,
process the fruit before making batter,
adding a little flour from recipe quantity to
prevent fruit sticking to processing blade.
CITRUS PEEL Remove the peel from the fruit using a
vegetable peeler and cut into .5cm pieces.
Place peel and sugar into food processor
bowl and process using speed 1 until
chopped to desired size. It may be
necessary to scrape the sides of the bowl
using the spatula to ensure more even
chopping.
NOTE: The white pith between the skin and
citrus flesh is bitter, so carefully remove the
citrus peel ensuring the pith remains on the
fruit.
HARD-BOILED Shell and halve the eggs, when cool, before
EGGS placing in food processor bowl. Use PULSE
button to roughly chop eggs. It may be
necessary to scrape the sides of the bowl
using the spatula to ensure more even
chopping.
SOFT BREAD Remove crusts from slices of stale bread and
CRUMBS tear into quarters. Process on speed 1 until
fine bread crumbs are formed. For coarse
breadcrumbs use the PULSE button. Dried
breadcrumbs are not recommended.
CAKE Cut cake into approximately .5cm cubes.
CRUMBS Process as for soft breadcrumbs (above)
