TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

USING THE MULTIPURPOSE BLADE

To chop fresh fruits or
vegetables: Peel, core, and/
or remove seeds. For more
consistent results, cut food in 1-1½ inch
(2.5-3.75 cm) pieces. Process food to
desired size, using Pulse or Low speed.
Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.
To puree cooked fruits and vegetables
(except potatoes): Add 1/4 cup (60 mL)
liquid from recipe per cup (235 mL) of
food. Process food using short pulses until
finely chopped. Then process continuously
until reaching desired texture. Scrape sides
of bowl, if necessary.
To prepare mashed potatoes: Shred hot
cooked potatoes using the shredding disc.
Exchange shredding disc for multipurpose
blade. Add softened butter, milk, and
seasonings. Pulse three to four times,
2-3 seconds each time, until potatoes
are smooth and milk is absorbed. Do not
overprocess.
To chop dried (or sticky) fruits: The food
should be cold. Add 1/4 cup (60 mL) flour
from recipe per 1/2 cup (120 mL) dried
fruit. Process fruit, using short pulses, until
reaching desired texture.
To finely chop citrus peel: With sharp
knife, peel colored portion (without white
membrane) from citrus. Cut peel in small
strips. Process until finely chopped.
To mince garlic or to chop fresh herbs
or small quantities of vegetables: With
processor running, add food through the
feed tube. Process until chopped. For best
results, make sure work bowl and herbs are
very dry before chopping.
To chop nuts or make nut butters:
Process up to 3 cups (710 mL) of nuts to
desired texture, using short pulses, 1-2
seconds each time. For a coarser texture,
process smaller batches, pulsing one or two
times, 1-2 seconds each time. Pulse more
often for finer texture. For nut butters,
process continuously until smooth. Store in
refrigerator.
NOTE: Processing nuts and other hard
foods may scratch the surface finish on
the inside of the bowl.To chop cooked or
raw meat, poultry, or seafood: The food
should be very cold. Cut into 1 inch (2.5
cm) pieces. Process up to 1 pound (455
g) at a time to desired size, using short
pulses, 1-2 seconds each time. Scrape
sides of bowl, if necessary.
To make bread, cookie, or cracker crumbs:
Break food into 1½-2 inch (3.75-5 cm)
pieces. Process until fine. For larger pieces,
pulse two to three times, 1-2 seconds each
time. Then process until fine.
To melt chocolate in a recipe: Combine
chocolate and sugar from recipe in work
bowl. Process until finely chopped. Heat
liquid from recipe. With processor running,
pour hot liquid through the feed tube.
Process until smooth.
To grate hard cheeses, such as Parmesan
and Romano: Never attempt to process
cheese that cannot be pierced with the
tip of a sharp knife. You can use the
multipurpose blade to grate hard cheeses.
Cut cheese in 1 inch (2.5 cm) pieces.
Place in work bowl. Process, using short
pulses, until coarsely chopped. Process
continuously until finely grated. Pieces of
cheese can also be added through the feed
tube while the processor is running.
