Kneading Dough; Beating Or Whisking - Cuisinart FP14DCE Instructions Manual

• To slice raw meat or poultry, cut the food to the size of the
opening. Place the pieces in the freezer until they are hard to the
touch but still easy to pierce with the tip of a knife. Place the food
in the opening, flat side down, and press on the pusher to slice.
• To slice cooked meat or poultry the food must be cold, and if
possible cut in pieces equal in size to the opening.
• To slice sausage, use the smallest opening. Make sure you place
the pieces in vertically, tightly enough so that they don't fall
when the disc is started.
• To slice cheese: not all cheeses can be sliced. Generally, soft
cheeses don't slice easily and very hard cheese could damage
the disc or the appliance itself. Never try to slice a cheese that
is too hard to cut with a knife. Please refer to the summary table
and the notes under section 5 ('Advice from the Chefs') in this
booklet.

C. Kneading Dough
Dough blade
for the XXL bowl
This unit was designed to let you prepare dough in very little time.
Generally there are two kinds of dough:
• Yeast doughs contain yeast and a mixture of flour. They are
generally prepared with water and are even, pliable and stick
slightly to the fingers. When they have been kneaded correctly,
they form a ball.
• Doughs for sweet or savoury preparations contain a larger
proportion of sugar, butter and/or eggs. They are often prepared
with milk. They are rich and sticky doughs that don't always form
a ball after kneading. The two types of dough are prepared using
the button.
• Press and an indicator light will come on, indicating that
'Knead' has been selected. Use only the XXL bowl for the knead
function
