SPEED DIRECTIONS
Low or High Have cheese at room temperature. When applicable, cut into 1-inch
pieces. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of
the bowl as needed. Perfect for making cheesecakes, dips, pasta
fillings and more.
High Cheese should be well chilled before slicing/shredding. Cut to fit feed
tube. Use light to medium pressure when slicing/shredding.
Low If using the chopping blade, cut into ½-inch pieces. Pulse to break
up and then process until finely grated. This will produce a nice
grated cheese. If slicing or shredding, cut to fit feed tube. Use light to
medium pressure when slicing/shredding.
Pulse and Low As for all fruit and vegetable purées, cut ingredients into ½- to
or High 1-inch pieces. Steam ingredients until completely soft. Pulse to chop,
then process until completely smooth (add steaming liquid through
the feed tube when processing if necessary). To ensure there are no
lumps, press mixture through a fine mesh strainer. Keeps frozen in
ice cube trays for individual 1-ounce portions.
For creaming : Have butter at room temperature. Cut into 1-inch
High
pieces. Process, scraping bowl as necessary. For compound
(flavored) butters, process flavoring ingredients, such as herbs, zest,
vegetables, etc., before adding butter. For shredding/slicing: Freeze
briefly. Use light to medium pressure to shred or slice. Shredded
butter is great for preparing certain pastry doughs. Sliced butter is
great for serving alongside corn on the cob or freshly made rolls.
High Break into pieces. Pulse to break up, and then process until desired
consistency. This will make perfect bread/cracker/chip crumbs for
coating meats and fish. Processed cookies make delicious pie and
cake crusts!
Pulse Wash and dry herbs VERY well. Pulse to roughly chop. Continue
pulsing until desired consistency is achieved.
Cut meat into ½-inch pieces. Pulse to chop, about 14 long pulses, or
Pulse and High
until desired consistency is achieved. If a purée is desired, continue
to process. Never chop/purée more than 1½ pounds at one time.
High Put frozen fruit cut into 1-inch pieces into the work bowl, with liquid
(juice or milk), any desired sweeteners, such as sugar, honey, simple
syrup and other flavors. Process until smooth.
Low For milk shakes, first add ice cream. While unit is running, add milk
through the feed tube until desired consistency is achieved. For
smoothies, add fruit first, then add the liquid through the feed tube
while unit is running.
Pulse and High Pulse to chop to desired consistency. To make a nut butter, pulse to
break up, and then process until smooth, stopping to scrape down as
needed.
High Process granulated sugar for about 1 minute until finely ground.
Excellent for using in meringues and other baked goods.
Low Process well-chilled cream until cream begins to thicken. Add sugar
as desired; process continuously until cream reaches desired
consistency. This cream is dense and perfect as a whipped topping
for cake or ice cream.
