PROCESSING WITH CHOPPING BLADE
The Food How to Prepare It
Fruit and vegetables Peel and core if necessary. Remove large hard pits
and seeds. Cut into ¾-inch pieces and process up to
1 cup at a time.
Meat, poultry and fish These should be very cold but not frozen. First, cut
into ¾-inch pieces. Put up to ½ pound in work bowl.
Pulse or run continuously until desired consistency is
reached. Check texture every 2 or 3 seconds to avoid
overprocessing.
Bread, crackers or cookies Break into 1-inch pieces and process continuously
until texture for crumbs is fine. For seasoned crumbs,
chop with herbs. For buttered crumbs, dribble melted
butter through feed tube while processing.
Crumb crusts Chop crackers or cookies as described in preceding
paragraph. Add other recipes as specified by recipe.
Pulse until combined.
Hard cheese – grated If it is too hard to cut with a knife, don’t try to chop
it – it may damage blade. First cut into ½-inch pieces.
Pulse until pea-sized, then process continuously. You
can chop it as coarse or as fine as you want. Simply
run machine longer for finer chop. Process up to
3 ounces at one time.
Whipping cream Process refrigerated cream one cup at a time. It is
excellent as a topping for desserts or hot drinks.
Fresh herbs Work bowl and metal blade must be clean and dry.
Remove stems; use leaves only. Dry herbs completely.
The more herbs you chop at once, the finer chop
you can get. Chopped herbs keep for several days in
the refrigerator in airtight bags, or can be frozen for
months. Chop up to ½ cup at one time.
