BASIC FOOd PROCESSING TECHNIQUES
Leafy vegetables
For cabbage, wash and shake off excess
water. Cut into wedges to fit feed chute.
For lettuce, separate leaves, wash and dry
thoroughly, then roll up and pack vertically
into feed chute. Slice or shred.
NOTE
Slicing or shredding is not
recommended for spinach. To process
spinach, wash and dry thoroughly, tear
into pieces and use chopping blade or
quad blade.
Lettuce in chute
Cheese
Caution should always be taken when
processing cheese in a food processor.
For soft cheese such as Mozzarella and
Bocconcini, partially freeze, until firm
otherwise it will jam in the blades. For hard
cheese such as Parmesan, check first that it
is not too hard otherwise it will damage the
blades - the cheese should slice easily with a
sharp knife.
For round cheese such as Mozzarella and
Bocconcini, slice one end and pack into the
feed chute so the flat end is facing the disc.
For wedge-shaped cheese, pack 2 pieces
side by side into chute to form a rectangular
shape (one piece with tip facing down, other
piece with tip facing up). Slice or shred.
Sliced lettuce
deli meats
Cut the meat to fit the length of the feed
chute (no more than 14cm).
Pack into the feed chute with cut side
facing disc.
Salami in chute
Raw meat
Partially freeze trimmed meat that has
been cut to fit the feed chute until firm.
Recommended cuts: pork and lamb fillet,
thickly cut boneless sirloin.
Pack into the feed chute vertically. Slice.
Suet
Remove skin from suet and cut into pieces
large enough to fit feed chute. Partially
freeze until firm otherwise it will stick to the
blades causing them to jam. Pack into the
feed chute. Shred.
Chocolate
Break block of chocolate into pieces.
Chill until firm. Pack into the small feed
chute. Shred.
