tool
The knife blade is the most versatile of all
the attachments. The length of the

processing time will determine the texture

achieved. For coarser textures use the

pulse control.
Use the knife blade for cake and pastry
making, chopping raw and cooked meat,
vegetables, nuts, pate, dips, pureeing
soups and to also make crumbs from
biscuits and bread. It can also be used
