HOW TO PREPARE
Fruit and vegetables
Peel and core if necessary. Remove large, hard pits and seeds. Cut into
¾-inch pieces and process on HIGH up to 1 cup at a time.
Meat, poultry and fish
These should be very cold, but not frozen. First, cut into ¾-inch pieces.
Put up to ½ pound in work bowl. PULSE until desired consistency is
reached. Check texture every 2 or 3 seconds to avoid overprocessing.
Bread, crackers or
Break into 1-inch pieces and process on HIGH continuously until texture
cookies
for crumbs is fine. For seasoned crumbs, chop with herbs. For buttered
crumbs, dribble melted butter through feed tube while processing. Process
no more than 1 cup at a time.
Crumbs for crusts
Chop crackers or cookies as described in preceding paragraph. Add other
ingredients as specified by recipe. PULSE until combined. Process no more
than 1 cup at a time.
Hard cheese – grated
If it is too hard to cut with a knife, don't try to chop it – it may damage
blade. First cut into ½-inch pieces. PULSE until pea-sized, then process
on HIGH continuously. You can chop it as coarse or as fine as you want.
Simply run machine longer for finer chop. Process no more than 3 ounces
at one time.
Whipping cream
Process refrigerated cream on LOW, 1 cup at a time. It is excellent as a
topping for desserts or hot drinks.
Fresh herbs
Work bowl and metal blade must be clean and dry. Remove stems; use
leaves only. Dry herbs completely. The more herbs you chop at once, the
finer chop you can get. Chopped herbs keep for several days in the refrig-
erator in airtight bags, or can be
frozen for months. Chop up to ½ cup at one time.
Grating citrus zest
For best results, work bowl and blade must be clean and dry. Remove zest
from fruit in strips (using vegetable peeler). Use no more than 8 strips at a
time (zest of one medium lemon). Cut strips in half. Add strips and 1 tea-
spoon sugar (from recipe) to the work bowl. Process on HIGH for 15 to 20
seconds.
