4 Both the metal blade and the dough blade have locking devices that prevent heavy , sticky mixtures from driving the blade upward on the shaft. See page 5 for details. Each slicing disc has a long blade that makes beautiful whole slices with no torn edges. In addition to slicing whole fruits and vegetables, these discs slice cooked meat, semi-froz[...]

The pusher assembly slides over the feed tube on the processor cover . A downward push locks it into position. When you are using the metal blade or the dough blade, move the slide lock on the back of the pusher assembly to the locked position. Push down the large pusher to lock it. Now you can remove the cover and pusher assembly in one motion. Ho[...]

T o turn the motor off, press the PULSE/ OFF lever at the right. T ry it a few times. For rapid on-off operation called pulsing, use the PULSE/ OFF lever at the ri[...]

REMOVING PROCESSED FOOD Before you do anything, wait for the blade or disc to stop spinning. When it does, remove the cover first. Never try to remove the cover and the work bowl together; this can damage the work bowl. Y ou can set the cover on your work surface upside down, to minimize drips and spills. Metal Blade and Dough Blade Remove the bowl[...]

8 To chop parsley and other fresh herbs The herbs, the work bowl and the metal blade must all be thor- oughly clean and dry . Remove stems from the herbs. Add the leaves to the bowl and process until they are chopped as finely as you want. The more herbs you chop at a time, the finer tex- ture you can obtain. If completely dry when processed, parsl[...]

CHOPPING NUTS, MAKING FLA VORED BUTTER AND DIPS THE MET AL BLADE To chop nuts Chop up to 4 cups (16 ounces, 1L) of nuts at a time, pressing and releasing the PULSE/OFF lever and checking frequently to avoid letting powdered nuts clump together and form a nut butter . When the nuts are to be mixed with flour or sugar in a recipe, add some of the flo[...]

10 To whip cream Processor whipped cream is best for decorations or as a top- ping for gingerbread, berries or other desserts. Because no air is incorporated into it during processing, it will hold its shape very well, although it will not whip to a consistency as light and fluffy as that obtained by methods that beat air into the cream. Chill the [...]

the work bowl is clean and dry . Then set them aside until needed. (Always use sugar when chopping lemon peel; see page 8.) Put dry ingredients like flour , salt and leavening in the work bowl and process with the metal blade for 5 seconds to mix them. Remove and reserve the dry ingredients. Add the eggs and sugar to the work bowl and process to mi[...]

12 Proofing the yeast The expiration date is marked on the package. It is usually , but not always, reliable. T o be sure your yeast is active, dissolve it in a small amount of warm liquid (about 1/3 cup for one pack- age of dry yeast). If the recipe calls for a sweetener like sugar or honey , add a tablespoonful with the yeast. If no sugar is call[...]

If motor speeds up, continue processing. If not, add more flour – 1 tablespoon at a time – until motor speeds up. Process until dough cleans side of work bowl. Blade doesn’t incorporate ingredients: • Always start processor before adding liquid. Add liquid in slow , steady stream, only as fast as dry ingredients absorb it. If you hear liqui[...]

14 Baked bread too heavy: • Next time, feel dough to be sure it is uniformly soft, pliable and slightly sticky before setting it aside to rise. Let dough fully double in bulk in bowl or bag, punch it down, then let it double again after it has been shaped. Always bake bread in oven preheated to 400°F (205°C) unless recipe indicates otherwise. P[...]

To slice small round fruits and vegetables For large berries, radishes and mushrooms, use this proce- dure. T rim the opposite ends flat with a knife. Insert them through the feed tube, standing each piece on a flat end. Y ou can fill the tube to about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the top. The bottom layer gives you perfect slices for garnish. If you want [...]

16 To slice cooked meat and poultry In general, the food must be very cold. If possible, use a single chunk of food just large enough to fit the feed tube. T o make julienne strips of ham, bologna or luncheon meat, stack slices of them. Then roll them or fold them double and stand them upright in the feed tube, wedging in as many rolls as possible.[...]

IMPORT ANT : Never try to slice soft cheese like Mozzarella or hard cheese like Parmesan. Y ou may damage the slicing disc or the processor itself. See the guide for processing cheese. Special Diets If anyone in your family is on a restricted diet, you already know how difficult it is to obtain canned, frozen or other prepared foods that are salt-f[...]

18 Always use a dry bowl for chopping. Process small, hard ingre- dients like garlic and ginger root first. Then proceed to the larg- er solid ingredients like onion or peppers. Always add the hard- est solid ingredient first and go on to the softer ones. Generally , you should do the slicing and shredding after the chopping, since a clean bowl may[...]
