TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

USING THE DOUGH BLADE

The dough blade is specially
designed for mixing and
kneading yeast dough quickly
and thoroughly� For the best results, do
not knead recipes that use more than
450g of flour� Use O/Pulse to mix the dry
ingredients, then speed 2 when adding
liquids�

HELPFUL HINTS

• To avoid damage to the blade or motor,
do not process food that is so hard or
firmly frozen that it cannot be pierced
with the tip of a sharp knife� If a piece
of hard food, such as a carrot, becomes
wedged or stuck on the blade, stop the
processor and remove the blade� Gently
remove food from the blade�
• Do not overfill work bowl� For thin
mixtures, fill work bowl up to 1/2 -2/3
full� For thicker mixtures, fill work bowl
up to 3/4 full� For liquids, the work bowl
should be no more than 2/3 full� When
chopping, the work bowl should
be no more than 1/3 -1/2 full�
• Position slicing/shredding disk so the
cutting surface is just to the right of the
feed tube� This allows the blade a full
rotation before contacting the food�
• To capitalise on the speed of the
processor, drop ingredients to be
chopped through the feed tube while
the processor is running�
• Different foods require varying degrees
of pressure for best shredding and slicing
results� In general, use light pressure
for soft, delicate foods (strawberries,
tomatoes, etc�), moderate pressure for
medium foods (zucchini, potatoes, etc�),
and firmer pressure for harder foods
(carrots, apples, hard cheeses, partially
frozen meats, etc�)�
• Soft and medium-hard cheese may
spread out or roll up on the shredding
disk� To avoid this, shred only well-chilled
cheese�

• Sometimes slender foods, such as carrots
or celery, fall over in the feed tube,
resulting in an uneven
slice� To minimize this,
cut food in several
pieces and pack the
feed tube with the
food� For processing
small or slender items,
the small feed tube
in the 2-piece food
pusher will prove
especially convenient�
• When preparing a
cake or cookie batter or quick bread,
use the multipurpose blade to cream
fat and sugar first� Add dry ingredients
last� Place nuts and fruit on top of flour
mixture to prevent over-chopping�
Process nuts and fruits, using short
pulses, until blended with other
ingredients� Do not overprocess�
• When shredded or sliced food piles
up on one side of the bowl, stop the
processor and redistribute the food
using a spatula�
• When food quantity reaches the bottom
of the slicing/shredding disk, remove
the food�
• A few larger pieces of food may
remain on top of the disk after slicing
or shredding� If desired, cut these by
hand and add to mixture�
• Use the spatula to remove ingredients
from the work bowl�
