Try chopping some practice foods
before you process food to eat. A
zucchini or potalo is a good choice.
First cut it into 1'inch pieces.
Insert the metal blade and pul the
pieces in the work bowl. Pul on the
cover and the pusher assembly:
press the pusher assembly down to
lock it into place. Press the lever
down to PULSE and released.
Repeat two or three times and see
what happens. Each time the blade
slops, let the pieces drop to the
bottom ol the bowl before you
pulse again. That puts them in the
path of the blade each time the
motor starts.
Using the pulse/chopping
technique, you can get an even
chop without danger of over­
processing. Check the texture
Irequently by looking through the
cover o( the work bowl. II you want
a finer chop, keep pressing the
lever down to PULSE and releasing
it until you achieve the desired
texture. Onions and other food with
a high water content will quickly
end up as a puree unless examined
after each pulse to make sure it is
not overprocessed.
Try chopping other food, like meat
for hamburger or sausage. Then
make mayonnaise, pastry or bread,
as described in the recipes in this
book.To obtain consistent results:
► Be sure alt the pieces you add to
the bowl are about the
same size
*■
Be sure the
amount of food
is
no ¡arger than recommended.
