Hints and Tips
Chopping
Processing foods that are roughly equal in size will achieve more consistent results.
Using the Feed Tube
For even results when slicing, shredding or grating you must take care when packing
the feed chute. Cut ingredients down to size so they fill the feed chute, this will ensure
ingredients do not shake around while the processing disc is spinning. Always use the
plunger to push ingredients down.
Soups
If you are processing soups, always allow ingredients to cool to room temperature before
processing.
Mincing
Meat should be cut down into 2-3cm cubes to ensure best results for mincing. It is
recommended to use the pulse function when mincing so the meat is not over processed.
Vegetables & Fruit
When processing vegetables or fruit, remove any pips, skins, cores and chop into quarters
or eighths if applicable to achieve best results.
Dry Ingredients
For best results when using dry ingredients such as flour, add to the bowl before adding
liquid ingredients. You can add the liquids through the feed chute while the food processor
is running, ensure the plunger is replaced immediately after adding.
NOTE: Do not use excessive force to push the ingredients down as this may cause
damage to the food processor.
NOTE: When processing wet and dry ingredients you may need to regularly stop the food
processor, and scrape down the sides of the bowl using the spatula included.
