Chopping Tips
• The bowl has a capacity of 3 cups. For liquid ingredients,
do not exceed 1 3 ⁄ 4 cups (MAX LIQUID FILL line on bowl).
• For more control, process by pressing the pulse button
briefly then releasing. Check consistency and continue if
desired.
• Tear bread into pieces, then process to make bread crumbs.
Break crackers or cookies into pieces, then process into
crumbs for use as recipe ingredients or pie crusts.
• To chop carrots, celery, mushrooms, green pepper, or
onion, cut into 1-inch chunks and place in bowl. This will
result in more uniform consistency.
• Chop nuts; mince parsley, basil, chives, or garlic.
• Puree small amounts of cooked fruit or vegetables for baby
food or use as a base for sauces or soups.
• Do not process raw meat, coffee beans, or whole, hard
spices in the food chopper. This could damage the chopper.
