Food Processing Tips

USING THE DOUGH BLADE

The dough blade is specially
designed for mixing and
kneading yeast dough quickly
and thoroughly. One minute or less of
operating time is all that is needed to form
a dough ball. Processing longer than one
minute will make the dough come apart
and stick to the sides of the bowl. For the
best results, do not knead recipes which use
more than 250 to 375 g (2-3 cups) of flour.

USING THE EGG WHIP

To make soft egg white
meringue:
Place 3 egg whites and
of tartar in work bowl fitted with egg
whip. Process until foamy, about 30 to 45
seconds. With processor running, slowly
add 40 g ( 1 ⁄ cup) sugar through the small
3
feed tube. Process until stiff peaks form,
about 2 1 ⁄ to 3 minutes. Stop processor as
2
necessary to check texture of mixture.
To whip cream:
Place heavy cream in work bowl fitted
with egg whip. Process 30 seconds. With
processor running, add 2 tablespoons
powdered sugar through the small feed
tube. Process just until soft peaks form,
about 30 to 40 seconds. Stop processor as
necessary to check texture of mixture. With
processor running, add
if desired, through the small feed tube.
Process just until mixed. Do not overprocess.
