TWO-WAY CUTTING BLADE
The Tasty
™
by Cuisinart
®
Mini Processor is
equipped with a reversible blade. This blade is
sharp on one side and blunt on the other. The
blade is attached to a plastic ring that slides
over the plastic blade sheath, so it can be easily
turned over to select the appropriate blade. To
reverse the blade, see detailed instructions.
SHARP (FOR CHOPPING) – Place blade ring
over plastic blade sheath so the printed word
“SHARP” is on top side of blade.
DULL (FOR GRINDING) – Place blade ring over
plastic blade sheath so no writing is on top of
blade.
REVERSIBLE
SLICING/SHREDDING DISC
The slicing disc makes whole slices. It slices
fruits and vegetables, cooked meat and
semi-frozen raw meat. The shredding disc
shreds most rm and hard cheeses. It also
shreds vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and
zucchini.
1. Make sure blade ring is not on blade sheath.
2. Attach blade sheath to the stem inside of the
work bowl.
3. With shredding or slicing side facing up, place
the reversible disc on top of the blade sheath.
4. Trim the ingredients to t the feed tube.
Remove pusher and place ingredients in feed
tube. Best results are achieved when feed
tube is mostly full.
5. Insert the pusher. While using medium
pressure, turn the dial ON until all ingredients
have passed to the work bowl.
6. Turn the dial to the OFF position when
nished.
7. Remove the pusher and rell ingredients as
needed. Repeat.
NOTE: Always use pusher when slicing or
shredding. Never put your hands in the feed tube
when the unit is running.
IMPORTANT: For detailed instructions on how
to remove the blade ring, refer to page 4, #4
under “To assemble using base of bowl to turn
blade.”
TIPS FOR EASY USE
• It is recommended that you practice with your
food processor before starting your rst recipe.
• For best results when chopping, food should
be cut into 1-inch, uniform pieces.
• Another tip for chopping/processing is to use
the Pulse feature. This way you are able to
control how ne or coarse your results will be.
• Using the Pulse chopping technique, you get
an even chop without overprocessing. Check
the texture frequently by looking through the
cover. If you want a ner chop, continue
pulsing until you achieve the desired texture.
• Onions and other foods with a high water
content will quickly end up as a purée unless
carefully pulsed to make sure they are not
overprocessed.
• Do not overll work bowl. For thin mixtures like
a batter, the bowl should be lled no more than
¹∕³ to ½ full. For thicker mixtures like pureés, ll
the work bowl ¾ full. For chopping, ll the work
bowl no more than halfway.
• When slicing or shredding, foods should rst
be cut to t the feed tube. For best results,
food should t snugly, but not so tightly that it
prevents the pusher from moving.
• For longer shreds or slices, food should be
placed horizontally in the feed tube. For shorter
shreds or slices, place food vertically in feed
tube.
• Soft cheeses, like mozzarella, should be placed
in the freezer for 20 minutes to harden slightly
before shredding.
