ram)pieces. Large pieces chop unevenly,with some
particles coarse and others overprocessed. When
slicing or shredding foods which are too large for the
FoodChute,decrease the size byfirst pre-cutting
them by handto fit (K).
• When slicing and shredding, cut long foods to fit the
FoodChute [approximately
3 1/2" (90mm)] for best results.
• When processing long, narrowfoods, packthe Food
Chutesofood will stand upright. Slices will then be
round and even (L).
• Forlong shreds or slices, arrange 2 1/2" (65ram)food pieces horizontally inthe Food
Chute.These are attractive in salads, Oriental dishes, and vegetable dips (M).
