Plate Usage
GRATING DISCS
27764 Hard Cheese Grating Disc
The 27764 is the disc which will make a powder from
hard cheeses. Parmesan and Romano are used most
extensively with this. When potatoes are run through
this disc a batter is produced which is excellent for
potato pancakes.
27078 .02”- .7mm Pulping Disc
The 27078 pulping disc was created to grind Chinese
radish into a pulp that is served with sushi. Moreover,
it will render any vegetable into a wet pulp or batter,
much the way a vegetable juicer does. This is ideal
for vegetable sauces that are low fat.
27079 1/32”- 1mm Pulping Disc
The 27079 reacts identically to the 27588 but is just
slightly coarser so that not as much juice is extracted.
Use on ginger root (shoga), white radish (dikon), baby
turnips (kabo), or lotus root (renkon).
27588 1/16" - 1.5mm Fine Grating Disc
The R208 is a delicate grate used mostly for cheeses
and carrots. The width of the grate is 1/16" or 1.5mm
It also does an excellent job on bread crumbs and
cold chocolate.
27577 5/64" - 2mm Medium Grating Disc
This is the most ordered disc of this series. While
being used mainly for cheeses and carrots its size, 5/
64" or 2mm, gives maximum yield with excellent shelf
life. Also used on coconuts and potatoes for hash
browns. This is the grating disc that comes standard
with the unit.
Disc Usage
SLICING DISCS
27051 1/32" - 1mm Slicing Disc
The thinnest slicing plate is the R291. It is used for
paper thin slicing of potatoes for potato chips. This
plate will also slice carrots lengthwise which can be
soaked in cold water to make flower petals for gar-
nish.
27555 5/64" - 2mm Slicing Disc
The next to the thinnest of the straight slicing plates
is the 27555. It provides a wafer thin slice that makes
harder vegetables look best. Carrots, radishes, cel-
ery and potatoes look terrific through this plate. This
is the best disc for shredded lettuce for tacos and
sandwiches. This is also the disc for cabbage for a
German style slaw.
27086 1/8" - 3mm Slicing Disc
This is one of the new thickness of slice available.
By cutting 1/8" thick it gives good shelf life and maxi-
mum yield. Almost any vegetable can be cut with
this disc and gives greater yield than the standard slicer
which comes with the unit.
27566 5/32" - 4mm Slicing Disc
The 27566 is the best all purpose slicing disc. For
most vegetables this thickness is best. Cucumbers,
mushrooms, zucchini, and celery all cut beautifully
with the 27566 while providing a good shelf life. This is
the second most popular disc requested and comes
standard with the unit. Even soft foods like strawber-
ries, bananas, and green onion tops slice marvelously.
27087 3/16" - 5mm Slicing Disc
Some foods are more attractive when sliced a bit
thicker and that is the function of the 27087. Half
slices of tomato or bell pepper work good as well as
yellow squash and zucchini. Try deep fried thick slices
of potato using the 27087 for home fries.
27786 1/4" - 6mm Slicing Disc
For soups and stews an extra thick slice is desirable.
Carrots and celery work great this way. Any food
that you want a more generous slice on will look ter-
rific through the 27786. For this reason it is the third
most popular disc .
5/64" - 2mm Waved Slicing Disc
This is a decorative, thin, waved slice. Harder veg-
etables will work best with this plate like carrots, rad-
ishes, zucchini and potatoes.
