REMOVING PROCESSED FOOD

General Guidelines for Preparing Foods for Processing

with the Food Processor Chopping Blade.

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

together; this can damage work bowl.

Onions and other food with a high

water content turn into a smooth

purée very quickly. Do not over-

chop - look at food frequently

through work bowl.

THE FOOD

HOW TO PREPARE IT.

Fruit and vegetables

Peel and core if necessary. Remove large hard pits and seeds.

Cut into 3/4"(1.9cm) pieces and process up to 1 cup (250ml) at a time.

To purée, follow same procedure as

for chopping, but let machine run

until food is a smooth purée.

Meat, poultry and fish

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

3/4"(1.9cm) pieces. Put up to 1/2 pound (225g) in work bowl. If you

want to chop or purée more, do it in batches of not more than

1/2 pound (225g) each. Pulse/chop or run continuously until desired

consistency is reached. Check texture every 2 or 3 seconds to

avoid overprocessing.

New users are often surprised at how

fast the processor works. You will

quickly get used to its great speed.

These are some conditions that affect

your results:

Bread, crackers or cookies

for crumbs

Break into 1"(2.5cm) pieces and process continuously until texture

is fine. For seasoned crumbs, chop with herbs For buttered

crumbs, dribble melted butter through feed tube while

It is important not to let metal blade

fall out of work bowl as you empty it.

Here are two ways to prevent it from

falling out.

•

Size of pieces you put in bowl –

all should be about the same size.

Amount of food you process –

don’t add too much.

processing - 1 teaspoon (5ml) melted butter to each slice of bread.

1. Before tilting bowl, use spatula to

remove food from around blade.

Carefully remove blade by the

plastic hub.

Type of processing you choose –

continuous or pulse/chopping.

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.

ADDING FOOD

2. Hold top of blade in place with

finger or spatula while pouring out

processed food.

WHILE PROCESSING

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 3/4"(1.9cm) 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 3 ounces (85g) at one time.

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.

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 (250ml)

at a time.

Your SmartPower Duet Blender/Food

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(8 oz.(250g) maximum at one time)

Bread, Cookie or

Cracker Crumbs

For best results, use day-old bread

(drier bread works best). Break bread

slices into 1/2"(1.3cm) pieces, and

process no more than 1 cup (250ml) of

pieces at a time on Mix for 5-10

seconds. Crackers and cookies should

also be broken into 1/2"(1.3cm) pieces;

process 1 cup (250ml) at a time on Mix
