even pressure to make
plank-like slices.
Re-stack slices and
position vertically or
horizontally in feed
tube. Process, using
even pressure.
To slice or shred fruits or
vegetables that are long and
relatively small in diameter, such
as celery, carrots, and bananas:

Food Processing Tips
To slice or shred fruits and
vegetables that are round, such as
onions, apples, and green peppers:
Peel, core, and/or remove seeds. Cut
in halves or quarters to fit feed tube.
Position in feed tube. Some foods are
easier to insert into tube from the
bottom. Process, using even pressure.
To slice or shred fruits and
vegetables that are small, such as
strawberries, mushrooms and
radishes: Position food vertically or
horizontally in layers in feed tube.
Fill feed tube in order to keep food
positioned properly. Process, using
even pressure. Or use the small
chamber feed tube in the two-piece
food pusher. Position food vertically
in the chamber and use small food
pusher attached to the top of the
food pusher to process food.
To shred spinach and other
leaves: Stack leaves. Roll up and
stand roll up in feed tube. Process,
using even pressure.
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.
