ProcessingCheese
Many kinds of cheese can be processed in this FoodProcessor. However, some pre-
cautions must be observed for good results and to avoid damaging your machine.
When usingthe Slice/Shred Disc to process cheese, always use light pressure onthe
FoodPusher. Lightpressure meansjust enough force to keep the FoodPusher in con-
tact with the cheese.
Followthese guidelines for best results when processing cheese.
Soft Cheeses- Cottage,Cream, Ricotta, Brie, Camembert, Liederkranz, Mozzarella.
These cheeses may be processed with the Knife Blade. Temperature is not critical.
Cream cheese will process more easily at room temperature. Ofthis group, only
mozzarellacheese may be processed with the shredding side ofthe Disc, but it must
be well chilled. Put it in the freezer 20minutes before shredding. Soft cheeses can-
not be sliced or shredded.
Semi-Soft Cheeses- Blue, Bel Paese, Meunster, Fontina, Monterey Jack. These
cheeses may be processed with the Knife Blade. Temperature is not critical. How-
ever, if usingthe shredding side of the Disc,these cheeses must be chilled. These
cheeses cannot be sliced.
