TIP S A N D TEC HN IQ UES

• The Lean Green Prep Machine is excellent to slice and shred most foods. For
best results, do not use your food processor for grinding grain, coffee beans,
or spices; or slicing meat or frozen foods.
• Operating time will depend on quantity of food being processed. Most foods
can be sliced, grated, or shredded in seconds. If unit is operated continuously
for an extended period of time, let the processor rest about 10 minutes
before continuing.
• Cut bottoms of food so they are flat in the food chute, helping to slice and
shred the food more evenly
• To slice or shred cheese, use only firm cheese like Cheddar or Swiss that
has been chilled for at least 30 minutes. Cheese should be processed
immediately after being removed from the refrigerator. Soft cheese like
mozzarella should be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to processing
to ensure it is firm enough for shredding.
• Use gentle pressure when processing foods as pushing the pusher too hard
may make foods become soft or not properly slice/shred.
• To prevent browning of some sliced fruits, mix 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
with one cup of water. Soak 3-5 minutes; drain fruit and pat dry with a paper
towel. Refrigerate fruit immediately.
