START COOKING

Approach the Cuisinart
Cooking Food Processor as if cooking on the
stovetop. Prep base recipe ingredients first,
if necessary, by either chopping, slicing,
shredding or dicing.
Once ingredients are prepped, select an
accessory for cooking, if necessary. For
recipes that require stirring, replace the
prep accessory with the Stirring Paddle.
For puréed soups or sauces, the Metal
Chopping Blade can serve as both the prep
and cooking tool. Chop ingredients first and
then use the chopping blade to stir, if
necessary, while cooking. Once cooking
is complete, purée ingredients.
Also, for puréed soups, the recommended
technique is to cook or steam base ingredients
in a smaller amount of liquid than traditionally
used. At the end of cooking time, purée
ingredients using the Metal Chopping Blade.
With the food processor running, add
additional liquid to the Work Bowl until
desired consistency is achieved. Use our
recipes as a guide for liquid amounts.
Use extreme caution when processing hot
liquids. Ingredients should never exceed
the Max Fill line.

liquid to a boil, when browning meats and
quick vegetable cooking. To sauté vegetables
that are the base for certain recipes, use
temperatures ranging between 250°F to 285°F
(121°C to 140°C).
