General Guidelines for Preparing Foods for Processing with

the Food Processor Chopping Blade

1. Before tilting bowl, use spatula to

remove food from around blade.

Carefully remove blade by the

plastic hub.

THE FOOD

HOW TO PREPARE IT

New users are often surprised at how

fast the processor works. You will

quickly get used to its great speed.

Fruit and vegetables

Peel and core if necessary. Remove large hard

pits and seeds. Cut into 2cm pieces and process

up to 1 cup at a time.

These are some conditions that affect

your results:

Meat, poultry and fish

These should be very cold but not frozen. First, cut

into 2cm pieces. Put up to 230g in work bowl.

If you want to chop or purée more, do it in batches

of not more than 230g each. Pulse/chop or

run continuously until desired consistency is

reached. Check texture every 2 or 3 seconds to

avoid overprocessing.

•

Size of pieces you put in bowl –

all should be about the same size.

Amount of food you process – don’t

add too much.

Type of processing you choose –

continuous or pulse/chopping.

Bread, crackers or cookies

Break into 2.5cm pieces and process continuously

until texture for crumbs is fine. For seasoned

crumbs, chop with herbs. For buttered crumbs,

dribble melted butter through feed tube while

processing - 1 teaspoon melted butter for each

slice of bread.

2. Hold top of blade in place with

finger or spatula while pouring out

processed food.

ADDING FOOD

WHILE PROCESSING

To add liquid while the machine is

running, pour it through open feed

tube. This is especially useful when

making mayonnaise or dressings.

A small hole in the pusher allows you

to add liquids in a very slow, steady

stream – useful when making sauces.

At this point, you may either lift the

work bowl off motor base, or hold the

collar at the base and turn the handle

of the bowl counterclockwise and lift

blade straight up.

Crumb crusts

Chop crackers or cookies as described in

preceding paragraph. Add sugar, spices and butter

and cut into pieces, as specified by recipe.

Pulse/chop until combined.

Your SmartPower Duet Blender/Food

Processor makes many everyday food

preparation tasks much easier and

faster. Follow these guidelines to get

best results when using metal blade

with food you prepare most often.

When you want to add small pieces

of food like cheese, meat or garlic

cloves while machine is running,

drop them through open feed tube.

Hard cheese “grated”

If it’s too hard to cut with a knife, don’t try to chop

it – it may damage blade. First cut into 2cm pieces.

Pulse/chop until pea-sized, then process

continuously. You can chop it as coarse or as fine

as you want. Simply run machine longer for finer

chop. Process up to 100g at one time.

To prevent spills when adding

sugar and other dry ingredients,

use a funnel.

NOTE: Occasionally, a piece of food

may become wedged between the

blade and the work bowl. If this

happens, remove the cover, lift the

blade out carefully and remove the

wedged piece. Empty the bowl,

reinsert the blade and lock the cover

into place. Process smaller amounts of

the food at one time.

Whipping cream

Processor-whipped cream works well for most

purposes. It is excellent as a topping for desserts

or hot drinks. Cream must be at refrigerator

temperature. You can whip up to 1 cup at a time.

REMOVING PROCESSED FOOD

Before removing processed food, press

“Off” button and wait for blade to stop

spinning. Then remove cover by

turning it counterclockwise. Never try

to remove cover and work bowl

Parsley and other fresh herbs

Work bowl and metal blade must be clean and

dry. Remove stems; use leaves only. Dry herbs

completely. The more herbs you chop at once, the

finer chop you can get. Chopped herbs keep for

several days in the refrigerator in airtight bags, or

can be frozen for months.

together; this can damage work bowl.

It is important not to let metal blade fall

out of work bowl as you empty it.

Grating Citrus Zest

SLICING AND SHREDDING

RECIPE TIPS

CLEANING AND

STORING YOUR

SMARTPOWER

FOOD PROCESSOR

ATTACHMENT

1. Assemble clear work bowl on collar

and base in the usual way. (See

steps 1 and 2 on page 6.)

For best results, blender jar and cutting

assembly must be clean and dry.

Remove zest from fruit in strips (using

vegetable peeler). Use no more than

8 strips at a time (zest of one medium

lemon). Cut strips in half. Add strips

and 1 teaspoon sugar (from recipe)

to the blender jar. Blend on food

processor speed for 15-20 seconds.

Turn blender off.

You’ll find many easy ways to prepare

savoury, healthful meals with your

Cuisinart^®SmartPowerDuet

2. Pick up adapter stem. Hold stem by

side that has the octagon shape

(eight sided) and push rounded side

down as far as it will go on motor

shaft.

Blender/Food Processor. The simple

recipes that follow include some old

Cuisinart favourites as well as some

creative combinations that are sure to

please your friends and family. Thanks to

the superior ice crushing power of the

SmartPowerDuet Blender/Food

Processor, you’ll also be able to make

delicious frozen drinks.

Store the chopping blade and slicing/

shredding disc as you would sharp

knives – out of the reach of children.

3. Place the reversible

slicing/shredding disc with the

desired cutting edge facing up onto

the adapter stem. Always handle

slicing/shredding disc by the rim.

Never touch sharp cutting blades.

The work bowl, cover, pusher,

chopping blade, and slicing/shredding

disc are top shelf dishwasher safe.

When placing parts in your

dishwasher, insert the work bowl

upside down. Remember where you

place the sharp blade and disc, and

be certain to unload the dishwasher

carefully.

Grinding Hard Cheese

Cut cheese into 15mm pieces. Blend on

food processor speed for 30 seconds.

Turn blender off. For best results, grind

no more than 100g of cheese at a time.

RECIPE TIPS FOR USING

YOUR SMARTPOWER DUET

BLENDER:

4. Put cover on work bowl, lock it into

place by twisting it clockwise and

insert food in feed tube.

Grinding Spices

Chopping Nuts

For best results, blender jar and cutting

assembly must be clean and dry. Add

1/4 -1/2 cup of spices, seeds or

peppercorns to blender jar. Blend on

food processor speed for 30-35

seconds. Turn blender off.

Pulse 1/2 cup of nuts (shells removed)

on chop 4-5 times. Turn blender off;

scrape blender jar with spatula. Turn

blender on and pulse on chop 2-3 times.

Turn blender off. Pulse fewer times for

more coarsely chopped results. For best

results, process no more than 1 cup at

a time.

5. Insert pusher. Use moderate

pressure to push down on pusher

with one hand while using your

other hand to push the On button,

Pulse button, and hold down the

Food Processor button. Slicing and

shredding only take a few seconds.

The gearbox collar is not immersible.

To clean, just wipe with a damp cloth.

If you wash the blades and discs by

hand, do it carefully. Avoid leaving

them in soapy water where they may

disappear from sight. To clean the

metal blade, fill the work bowl with

soapy water, hold the blade by its

plastic centre and move rapidly up

and down on the centre shaft of the

bowl. Use of a spray hose is also

effective. If necessary, use a brush.

Whipping Cream

Whip 1 cup of cream (whipping or heavy

cream) at a time. Blend on mix, and

process for 45-60 seconds or until

creamy and smooth. If making

sweetened cream, add sugar after

10 seconds. Turn blender off.

Makes about 1 cup.

Wait until disc stops spinning before

removing cover. When it stops,

remove cover before removing work

bowl. Never try to remove cover and

work bowl together; this could

damage work bowl.

Bread, Cookie or

Cracker Crumbs

For best results, use day-old bread (drier

bread works best). Break bread slices

into 15mm pieces, and process no more

than 1 cup of pieces at a time on mix for

5-10 seconds. Crackers and cookies

should also be broken into 15mm

pieces; process 1 cup at a time on mix

for 10-15 seconds. Turn blender off.

6. Remove slicing/shredding disc

before removing work bowl. To

remove it, grasp flat top section of

adapter stem and lift it straight up.

Holding work bowl collar, turn work

bowl counterclockwise and lift it

straight up to remove it from base.

Puréeing Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Rehydrate 30g of tomatoes in 1 cup

boiling water. Allow to sit for 10 minutes

or until softened. Add tomatoes and

water to blender jar. Cover and pulse on

food processor speed 5 times; then run

continuously on food processor speed

for 15-20 seconds. Turn blender off.

Drain in fine strainer if desired. Makes

about 1/2 cup of puréed tomatoes.

The work bowl should not be placed

in a microwave oven.

Crushing Ice

(Blender Jar Only)

Add up to 10 large ice cubes to

blender jar. Press the “Ice Crush”

Button, using short bursts, 10 times or

until cubes are the consistency of

snow. Turn blender off. Pulse fewer

times if coarsely chopped ice is

desired.

General Guidelines for Preparing Foods for Slicing and Shredding

To Prepare for Shredding

Food

To Prepare for Slicing

For long shreds, cut into largest size that will fit

sideways in feed tube. Stack in feed tube to about

2.5cm from top. For shorter shreds, stand pieces

upright in feed tube, flat side down (as described in

slicing column).

Long narrow foods like carrots, celery, cucumbers,

and zucchini

Cut into even lengths about 2.5cm shorter than height

of feed tube. Stand pieces upright in feed tube, flat

side down, adding enough pieces so they cannot tilt.

Cut one end flat then cut lengthwise in halves or

quarters. Pack solidly in feed tube to prevent tilting.

Fill feed tube to about 2.5cm from top.

Apples, onions, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes and

other large round fruits and vegetables

Same as slicing. Place in feed tube sideways for

longer shreds, or upright for shorter shreds.

Use light to moderate pressure.

Slice off top and bottom, leaving centre section. Place

in feed tube, flat side down.

Strawberries, mushrooms, radishes and other small,

round fruits and vegetables

Radishes shred well.

Same as slicing.

Cut off top & bottom, leaving centre section. Cut into

wedges to fit feed tube upright. Remove core. Cut top

& bottom pieces in similar wedges.

Cabbage, Iceberg Lettuce

Do not shred.

Same as slicing.

Use boneless cuts. Cut into feed-tube lengths.

Remove skin if desired. Wrap in plastic wrap and put

in freezer until it feels hard when you try to squeeze it

but is still easily pierced through with tip of sharp knife.

Remove plastic wrap and stand upright in feed tube.

Note: Chicken and beef for stir-fries should be sliced

with the grain. Boned, skinned chicken breast will

usually fit when frozen as described above and cut in

half crosswise.

Uncooked meat and poultry

(230g maximum at one time)

Chill in freezer for 5 minutes before processing.

Cut into pieces to fit feed tube. Stand pieces in feed

tube and use light pressure on pusher. Use 120g

maximum.

Do not slice

Soft cheeses like Mozzarella

Same as slicing. Chill 5 minutes in freezer before

processing. Use 120g maximum.

Cut into pieces to fit feed tube. Stand pieces in feed

tube and use light pressure on pusher.

Medium-hard cheeses like Cheddar and Swiss

Hard cheeses like Parmesan

Do not shred.

Do not slice.
