PROCESSING TIPS
• Do not fi ll the bowl above the liquid max
level for wet ingredients. Always add drier
or thicker ingredients to the processing
bowl prior to adding fl uids.
• Note that there is a MAX THICK LIQUID
and MAX THIN LIQUID markings on the
processing bowl. Thick liquid is soup
and sauces (such as a tomato base
puree). Thin liquid is water base stocks,
milkshakes etc.
• To avoid over-processing when coarsely
chopping food, frequently check
consistency. It is also recommended to
use the pulse function to avoid over-
processing food. Use the spatula to
scrape down the sides of bowl to ensure
an even texture.
• If chopping fruit to add to cake batter,
process before making batter, adding
a little fl our from quantity recommended

blades.

stale bread as fresh bread sticks to blades.

liquid to processed mixtures.
• Peanut butter made in the food processor
will separate on standing. Stir just before
use.
• When processing a variety of ingredients,
it is not necessary to remove them after
each addition, unless they exceed the
MAX level marking.
• When mixing dry and wet ingredients,
the mixture will process more evenly
if the wet ingredients are placed in the
bowl preceding the dry ingredients.
• Egg white foams used for aerating
mixtures such as fruit sorbet, work
successfully. A minimum of 6 egg whites
successfully using a minimum of
6 egg whites. It is recommended to use
the whisk disc and pulse function to
maximise the eff ect.

meringue requires lengthy beating to
dissolve the sugar and entrap the air.

disc for best results.
