on the feed tube while processing
• For round fruits or vegetables, remove a thick slice on the bottom
of the food so that it sits upright in the feed tube. If food does not
fit in the feed tube, halve or quarter it to fit. Process with even
pressure.

trim the ends so the food sits upright in the feed tube.

be sure that the cheese is well chilled.
