The Extra Chef is a versatile manual food processor designed to save time and space in the kitchen. It allows users to chop, dice, puree, blend, and whip ingredients with a simple pull-cord mechanism. Its larger size makes it suitable for daily use, handling a variety of tasks from preparing vegetables and fruits to mixing batters and sauces.

Function Description:

The core functionality of the Extra Chef revolves around its pull-cord mechanism, which spins either triple blades or a paddle whisk attachment. The triple blades are designed to chop and puree fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, and garlic, making quick work of ingredients for various recipes. The paddle whisk is ideal for blending batters, sauces, marinades, dips, and dressings, and is particularly effective for creating light and airy preparations like mayonnaise, vinaigrettes, and chocolate mousse. A funnel attachment is included for precise addition of liquids during processing, and the base features etched measurements to monitor contents. The combination of three curved blades and the speed generated by the pull cord ensures efficient cutting, preventing food from getting stuck and capable of up to 288 cuts in 15 seconds.

Assembly: To assemble, ensure the anti-skid rim is on the bottom, place the container on a countertop, position the blade axle or paddle whisk over the central pin, add ingredients (max 250g solid food), screw the adaptor ring clockwise onto the container, ensure the blades/whisk are centered, and then screw the pull cord cover clockwise onto the adaptor ring.
Operation: Hold the Extra Chef firmly with one hand on the cover and pull the cord horizontally in fast movements with the other hand. The first pull should be strong. If blocking occurs, shake the product.
Disassembly: Remove the top cover (adaptor ring and pull cord cover), then carefully remove the blades or paddle whisk before scraping out food.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning: Tupperware recommends hand washing and towel drying with a soft cloth for the pull cord cover and blades to maintain their appearance. The base and blades/whisk are dishwasher safe.
Care for Blades: Blades are very sharp; handle with extreme caution and keep out of reach of children. Do not use metallic utensils or Silicone Spatulas on the blades as this can cause damage. Use the reverse side of a knife to scrape food off the blades.
Avoid Abrasive Ingredients: Not recommended for exclusive use with abrasive ingredients like dried biscuits or corn flakes, as this can cause fine scratches and make the inside surface hazy.
Salt Addition: Add salt only at the end of the recipe after blending or chopping to prevent damage to the inside surface.
Avoid Hard Items: Do not use the blades for crushing or chopping very hard items like ice, as this can damage the product and cause injury.
Cord Care: Always start with fast pulls to prevent the mechanism from blocking. Do not over-pull the cord to its very end, as it is not necessary for fine results. Ensure the handle is correctly placed back in the pull cord cover. Never carry the Extra Chef by the cord handle.
Mechanism Care: The mechanism in the top cover should not be screwed or unscrewed, as this will damage it and void the warranty.
Liquid Handling: Do not blend hot liquids. When mixing food ingredients with cold liquids, prepare solid food first, adding the liquid at the end. Avoid overflowing with oil and allow a few seconds before removing/inverting the cover to prevent oil from entering the cover.
Warranty: Blades are covered by a Q Warranty. Staining is not covered under Guarantee. Opening the top cover mechanism will void the warranty.
