Using The Dough Blade; Helpful Hints - KitchenAid KFP750AQ - Food Processor, Martha Stewart Instructions And Recipes Manual

To slice uncooked meat or poultry,
such as stir-fry meats:
Cut or roll food to fit feed tube. Wrap
and freeze food until hard to the touch,
30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on
thickness of food. Check to be sure you
can still pierce food with the tip of a
sharp knife. If not, allow to thaw slightly.
Process, using even pressure.
To slice cooked meat or poultry,
including salami, pepperoni, etc.:
Food should be very cold. Cut in pieces
to fit feed tube. Process food using firm,
even pressure.
WARNING
Cut Hazard
Handle blades carefully.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
1. To avoid damage to the blade or
motor, do not process food that is so
hard or firmly frozen that it cannot be
pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. If
a piece of hard food, such as a carrot,
becomes wedged or stuck on the
blade, stop the processor and remove
the blade. Gently remove food from
the blade.
2. Do not overfill work bowl or mini bowl.
For thin mixtures, fill work bowl up to
1 ⁄ to 2 ⁄ full. For thicker mixtures, fill work
2 3
bowl up to 3 ⁄ full. For liquids, fill up to
4
the maximum level as described on
page 11. When chopping, the work
bowl should be no more than
Use the mini bowl for up to 1 cup
(235 ml) of liquid or

To shred firm and soft cheeses:
Firm cheese should be very cold. For
best results with soft cheeses, such as
mozzarella, freeze 10 to 15 minutes
before processing. Cut to fit feed tube.
Process, using even pressure.
USING THE
DOUGH BLADE
The dough blade is specially
designed for mixing and
kneading yeast dough quickly and
thoroughly. For the best results, do not
knead recipes which use more than
2-3 cups (475 - 710 ml) of flour.
3. Position slicing discs so the cutting
surface is just to the right of the feed
tube. This allows the blade a full
rotation before contacting the food.
4. To capitalize on the speed of the
processor, drop ingredients to be
chopped through the feed tube while
the processor is running.
5. Different foods require varying degrees
of pressure for best shredding and
slicing results. In general, use light
pressure for soft, delicate foods
(strawberries, tomatoes, etc.),
moderate pressure for medium foods
(zucchini, potatoes, etc.), and firmer
pressure for harder foods (carrots,
apples, hard cheeses, partially frozen
meats, etc.).
6. Soft and medium-hard cheese
may spread out or roll up on the
shredding disc. To avoid this, shred
only well-chilled cheese.
