Basic food Processing techniques
PRoCessIng tIPs
•
Do not fill the food processor bowl or blender jug above MAX level.
•
To avoid over-processing when coarsely chopping food, frequently check consistency. Use the spatula
to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure an even texture.
•
If chopping fruit to add to cake batter, process fruit before making batter, adding a little flour from
quantity recommended in recipe to prevent fruit sticking to blades.
•
When crumbing bread for stuffing, use stale bread as fresh bread sticks to blades.
•
Add liquid to pureed foods after processing.
•
Use the food chute when adding liquid to processed mixtures.
•
Peanut butter made in the food processor will separate on standing. Stir just before use.
•
When processing a variety of ingredients, it is not necessary to remove them after each addition, unless
they exceed the MAX level.
•
To blend thick or heavy mixtures, use the pulse setting and do not blend for longer than 1 minute without
switching off the blending and stirring the ingredients with a plastic spatula. For normal blending tasks, for
example mayonnaise, dressings, etc, do not operate for longer than 1 minute at one time.
•
Egg white foams used for aerating mixtures such as fruit sorbet can be made using a minimum of 6
egg whites. Ensure the lower section of the processing blade is covered for foam to form.
•
Beating egg whites for pavlova or meringue requires lengthy beating to dissolve the sugar and entrap
the air. The sharp cutting edge of the processing blade will not aerate the mixture and causes the
egg white foam to collapse. The result is a thin mixture that eventually separates. It is therefore not
recommended to beat egg whites for meringue in a food processor using the stainless steel blade.
•
Before slicing, shredding, grating or chipping trim the food to fit the food chute.
•
Before slicing and shredding, partially freeze softer structured foods (such as meat) until just firm.
•
When finished processing, switch the WIZZ™ Processor Duo off at the power outlet and unplug the
power cord.
