Disc Utilization - Robot Coupe R502 Operation Manual

B. DISC UTILIZATION:
The standard machine comes with two (2) discs. Check your
most current price list for which discs are included as stan-
dard. User applications may require additional discs. The
Robot Coupe processor will perform a variety of functions: slic-
ing grating dicing, and julienne. There are a total of 34 different
discs available to perform these functions (see below). The
number and type of discs required will vary, depending upon
the planned utilization.
10 slicing discs
8 grating discs
7 dicing combinations
8 julienne discs
3 wave slicing discs
2 straight French fry kits
The ten (10) slicing discs range form 1mm (approx. 1/64") to
25mm (approx. 1"):

The 28062 (1/32") slicing disc offers a very fine cut. A pos-
sible use for such a fine cut is the preparation of Japanese
style vegetables. Typically these products (such as carrots or
celery) will be placed in the pusher horizontally to obtain a long
thin product.
The 28063 (5/64") slicing disc finds a variety a application.
Cabbage may be sliced with this disc for New York Style Cole
Slaw. Carrot curls which adorn many dishes can be achieved
with this slicer. The carrot slices should be dropped into cold
water to permit curling. A nice carrot coin for salads can also
be obtained.
The 28064 (1/8") slicing disc is ideal for salad bars i.e.., cu-
cumber slices, carrot "coins" (vertically sliced Carrots). Let-
tuce sliced by this disc is readily used with sandwiches, tacos,
etc.
The 28004 (5/32") and 28128 (3/16") slicing discs are also
ideal for salad bar use, for the stock pot where thicker "man"
size cuts are desired. This blade is excellent also for orange
or lemon slices as well as tomatoes, where a nice smooth
surface is desired. NOTE: You can not slice meats or cheeses
on any food processor.
The 28128, 28129, 28130, 28131,28132, and 28133 slicing
discs are used in conjunction with the dicing grids. In addition
thicker slices can be obtained for use in soups and stews.
The 28133 (1") slicer also provides an excellent cut of lettuce
for use in a salad.
There are eight grating discs available for use with the R6:
Inches (Approx.) The 28061 hard cheese grating disc is designed specifi-
cally to grate Parmesan or Romano cheese. CAUTION: Softer
1/32" cheese will tend to gum up the plate. The grated product is
5/64" very fine. This disc can be used for making cracker or cookie
1/8" crumbs. Dried bread crumbs can be obtained CAUTION: the
5/32" moisture in fresh bread will cause clogging and poor results.
3/16"
5/16" Use of either the 28057, 28058, or 28163, fine, medium, and
3/8" coarse grating discs are much dependent upon personal choice
9/16" and specific application. The medium and coarse grating discs
25/32" offer a quality grated product with cheese, carrots, cabbage for
1" cole slaw, etc.
A diced product requires two actions. First, a horizontal slice
is made and then this slice is forced by the machine through
the dicing grid to obtain a vertical cut. This results in a cubed
product. The dimensions of this cube are varied via the se-
lection of the slicing plate and dicing grid. The following slic-
ing discs can be used with any of the dicing grids:
dicing
grid
Plate
5 mm
8 mm
10 mm
14 mm
20 mm
25 mm
The 5mm dicing combination is generally used for potatoes
and squash because of its small size.
The 8mm smaller dicing combinations can be used for finely
diced carrots, celery, etc. and readily used in soups or stews.
The larger (14 mm or greater) dicing combinations work well
with fruits such as apples, pears, pineapple, etc.
