Comments/Notes
Drain first. Cut in half.
Process no more than 1½ ounces at a time. For best results,
chill chocolate for 3–5 minutes in freezer before chopping. Cut
baking chocolate squares into ½-inch pieces to chop.
Use day-old, hard bread for dry crumbs; fresh bread for moist
crumbs. Cut or break into pieces no larger than 1 inch. For
buttered crumbs, add 1 teaspoon of butter per slice after
crumbs have started to form, and process to combine and coat.
Cut into ½-inch pieces. Best at room temperature. Process up
to ¾ cup at a time. Add freshly chopped citrus zest, garlic,
herbs or shallots to create compound butters.
Cut into ½-inch long pieces.
Remove and discard rind or reserve for another use. Cut into
½-inch pieces. If possible, remove from refrigerator 20–30
minutes before processing. Process up to 4 ounces at a time.
Best at room temperature. Cut into 2-inch pieces. Process up
to 12 ounces at a time.
Cut chocolate into 1-inch pieces. Process up to 1-1½ ounces
at a time.
Break up to 2 cinnamon sticks into 1-inch pieces. Up to ¼ cup
of all other spices can be processed. Hard spices may cause
scratches on the work bowl and cover.*
Use vegetable peeler to remove zest (color only) from citrus;
scrape off any white with sharp knife. Cut strips in half. Adding
a small amount of sugar or salt will help achieve a finer texture.
Hard cookies only. Break up into 1-inch or smaller pieces. For
buttered crumbs, add 1 teaspoon of butter per graham cracker
sheet or for every 3 cookies.
Cooked fruits may be processed to make baby foods or
purées; liquid may be added for consistency. To process fresh
or frozen (thawed) berries for sauce, pulse to chop, then
process until puréed (sugar may be added to taste). Fill work
bowl up to ²∕ ³ of the way full.
Peel garlic cloves first. Scrape work bowl sides and bottom as
