Food Processing Tips
To shred 
spinach and 
other leaves: 
Stack leaves. Roll 
up and stand 
up in feed tube. 
Process, using 
even pressure.
To slice uncooked meat or poultry, 
such as stir-fry meats: 
Cut or roll food to fit feed tube. Wrap 
and freeze food until hard to the touch, 
30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on 
thickness of food. Check to be sure you 
can still pierce food with the tip of a 
sharp knife. If not, allow to thaw slightly. 
Process, using even pressure. 
To slice cooked meat or poultry, 
including salami, pepperoni, etc.: 
Food should be very cold. Cut in pieces 
to fit feed tube. Process food using firm, 
even pressure. 
To shred firm and soft cheeses: 
Firm cheese should be very cold. For 
best results with soft cheeses, such as 
mozzarella, freeze 10 to 15 minutes 
before processing. Cut to fit feed tube. 
Process, using even pressure.
To slice or shred items that are 
“pear-shaped” like sweet potatoes, 
eggplant and squash:
Position food horizontally so that the 
bigger/fatter side is to the left of the feed 
tube when you are facing the unit. Process, 
using even pressure on the food pusher.
USING THE 
DOUGH BLADE
The dough blade is specially 
designed for mixing and 
kneading yeast dough quickly and 
thoroughly. For the best results, do not 
knead recipes which use more than 
2-3 cups (475-710 ml) of flour.
USING THE EGG WHIP
To make soft egg 
white meringue: 
Place 3 egg whites and 
1
4
 teaspoon (1 ml) cream of tartar in 
work bowl fitted with egg whip. Process 
until foamy, about 30 to 45 seconds. 
With processor running, slowly add 
1
3
 cup (80 ml) sugar through the narrow 
feed tube. Process until stiff peaks form, 
about 2
1
2
 to 3 minutes. Stop processor 
as necessary to check texture of mixture.
To whip cream: 
Place heavy cream in work bowl fitted 
with egg whip. Process 30 seconds. With 
processor running, add 2 tablespoons 
(30 ml) powdered sugar through the 
narrow feed tube. Process just until soft 
peaks form, about 30 to 40 seconds. Stop 
processor as necessary to check texture 
of mixture. With processor running, add 
1
2
 teaspoon (2 ml) vanilla, if desired, 
through the narrow feed tube. Process 
just until mixed. Do not overprocess.
