insert onto tube from the
bottom.
Position food vertically or
horizontally in layers in
feed tube. Fill feed tube in
order to keep food
positioned properly.
Stack leaves. Roll up and
stand in feed tube.
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.
Cut or roll food to fit feed
tube. Wrap and freeze
food until firm to the
touch, about 30 minutes
to 2 hours, depending
upon 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.
Food should be very cold.
Cut in pieces to fit feed
tube.
Cut food to fit tube
horizontally. Process using
even pressure to make
plank-like slices. Restack
