BASIC FOOD PROCESSING TECHNIQUES

The food processor can process food in
a variety of ways depending on which blade
or disc you choose.

CHOPPING WITH THE QUAD

®

PROCESSING BLADE

The quad blade chops raw and cooked
food to the consistency required, from
coarsely chopped to minced. For many
large processing tasks, the four blades will
cut the processing time needed to achieve
the desired results. The result depends on
the type of food and how long the food is
processed. Always remember to place the
quad blade into the processing bowl before
adding the food.

NOTE:
To avoid over-processing check the
consistency frequently. For many
processing tasks we recommend to
use the Pulse button, as it may only
take a few seconds to fully process
the food to the desired consistency.
If necessary, press the POWER/OFF
button, unlock the lid and use the
spatula to scrape down the sides of
the bowl to ensure even processing.

4 cups (or 600g of raw meat) at a time using
the START/PAUSE button until chopped or
minced to desired size or consistency.
