USING THE MULTIPURPOSE BLADE

To chop fresh fruits or
vegetables:
Peel, core, and/or remove seeds. For more
consistent results, cut food in 1 to 1½-
inch (2.5-3.75 cm) pieces. Process food to
desired size, using Pulse or Low speed.
Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.
To puree cooked fruits and vegetables
(except potatoes):
Add 1/4 cup (60 mL) liquid from recipe per
cup (235 mL) of food. Process food, using
short pulses, until finely chopped. Then
process continuously until reaching desired
texture. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.
To prepare mashed potatoes:
Shred hot cooked potatoes using the
shredding disc. Exchange shredding disc
for multipurpose blade. Add softened
butter, milk, and seasonings. Pulse three to
four times, 2 to 3 seconds each time, until
potatoes are smooth and milk is absorbed.
Do not overprocess.
To chop dried (or sticky) fruits:
The food should be cold. Add 1/4 cup
(60 mL) flour from recipe per 1/2 cup
(120 mL) dried fruit. Process fruit, using
short pulses, until reaching desired texture.
To finely chop citrus peel:
With sharp knife, peel colored portion
(without white membrane) from citrus.
Cut peel in small strips. Process until finely
chopped.
To mince garlic or to chop fresh herbs
or small quantities of vegetables:
With processor running, add food through
the feed tube. Process until chopped. For
best results, make sure work bowl and
herbs are very dry before chopping.
To chop nuts or make nut butters:
Process up to 3 cups (710 mL) of nuts
to desired texture, using short pulses,
1 to 2 seconds each time. For a coarser
texture, process smaller batches, pulsing
once or twice, 1 to 2 seconds each time.
Pulse more often for finer texture. For
nut butters, process continuously until
smooth. Store in refrigerator.
NOTE: Processing nuts and other hard
foods may scratch the surface finish on
the inside of the bowl.
To chop cooked or raw meat, poultry,
or seafood:
The food should be very cold. Cut in
1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Process up to
1 pound (455 g) at a time to desired size,
using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each
time. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.
To make bread, cookie, or cracker crumbs:
Break food into 1½ to 2-inch (3.75-5 cm)
pieces. Process until fine. For larger pieces,
pulse two to three times, 1 to 2 seconds
each time. Then process until fine.
