A.

Chopping fresh herbs:

The herbs, work bowl and blade must all be thoroughly cleaned and dried.
Remove the stems from herbs. Add the leaves to work bowl and process,
using the 'Chop' switch and a 'pulse' action until they are chopped to the
desired consistency.
B. Chopping meat, poultry, fish & shellfish:
The food should be very cold but not frozen. Cut into 1.5cm pieces and
place in the work bowl. Use the 'Chop' switch and a 'pulse' action until
the food is evenly chopped. Use a continuous processing action for a few
seconds for a finer chop if required. Use a spatula to scrape food down
from the sides of the work bowl as necessary.
C.

Chopping nuts:

You can use either the 'Chop' or 'Grind' function depending on the
consistency you require. For roughly chopped nuts, process continuously
using the 'Chop' switch until chopped to the desired consistency. Check
frequently to avoid nuts clumping together. If necessary, use a spatula to
re-distribute the nuts evenly in the work bowl. If you require more of a
powder consistency use the 'Grind' function continuously until the desired
consistency is achieved.
