Basic food Processing techniques
slicing, shredding, grating and french fry cutting with the processing discs
Both thick and thin slices of vegetables, fruit, cheese or deli meats can be achieved by using either
the thick (C) or thin (D) slicing discs. These foods can be shredded use either the thick (B) or thin (A)
shredding discs. For grating hard cheeses such as Parmesan use the fine grating disc (E). For a potato
chips use the French Fry cutter (F).
Basic steps for slicing, shredding, grating and french fry cutting:
Place the food processor bowl spindle onto centering shaft of the food processor bowl. Insert the desired
disc into the disc holder then insert the disc holder onto the food processor bowl shaft. Fit the food
processor bowl lid onto the food processor bowl and lock the lid into position (follow procedure for The
Food Processor Bowl on Page 8).
Step 1. Prepare food as directed in the chart below or recipes.
Step  P ack food into the food chute as directed in the following food categories. The food should fit
snugly so it is supported upright in the food chute, but not so tight that it prevents the food from
easily moving down the food chute when guided by the food pusher.
Step 3 P rocess using a low or mid-range speed. Gently guide the food down the food chute using the
food pusher. Never force the food down as this will damage the discs. Apply light pressure for soft
foods such as tomatoes and bananas; medium pressure for firmer foods such as potatoes and
apples; and firm pressure for hard foods such as Parmesan cheese and deli meats such as salami.
Step  Repeat this process until all food has been sliced, shredded, grated or chipped.
