Directions
Have cheese at room temperature. When applicable, cut
into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Process until smooth, stopping
to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Perfect
for making cheesecakes, dips, pasta fillings and more.
Cheese should be well chilled before slicing or shredding.
Cut to fit Feed Tube. Use light to medium pressure when
slicing or shredding.
If using the metal chopping blade, cut into ½-inch (1.25 cm)
pieces. Pulse to break up and then process until finely
grated. This will produce a nice grated cheese. If slicing
or shredding, cut to fit Feed Tube. Use light to medium
pressure when slicing or shredding.
As for all fruit and vegetable purées, cut ingredients into
½- to 1-inch (1.25 to 2.5 cm) pieces. Steam ingredients
until completely soft. Pulse to chop, then process until
completely smooth (add steaming liquid through the Feed
Tube when processing if necessary). Keeps frozen in ice
cube trays for individual 1-ounce (28 g) portions.
For creaming : Have butter at room temperature. Cut into
1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Process, scraping bowl as
necessary. For compound (flavoured) butters, process
flavouring ingredients, such as herbs, zest, vegetables,
etc., before adding butter. For shredding or slicing:
Freeze briefly. Use light to medium pressure to shred or
slice. Shredded butter is great for preparing certain pastry
doughs. Sliced butter is great for serving alongside corn
on the cob or freshly made rolls.
