TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
USING THE REVERSIBLE SLICING/SHREDDING DISC
To slice or shred fruits or
vegetables that are long
and relatively small in diameter, such as
celery, carrots, and bananas:
Cut food to fit feed tube
vertically or horizontally,
and pack so that the
food is supported. It
should not be packed
so tightly that it cannot
move freely. Process
using even pressure
with the food pusher, or
use the small feed tube
in the two-piece food
pusher. Position food vertically in the tube
and use the small food pusher to process
food.
To slice or shred fruits and vegetables
that are round, such as onions, apples,
and green peppers:
Peel, core, and remove seeds. Cut in
halves or quarters to fit feed tube. Position
in feed tube. Process using even pressure
with the food pusher.
To slice or shred fruits and vegetables
that are small, such as strawberries,
mushrooms, and radishes:
Position food vertically or horizontally in
layers within the feed tube. Fill feed tube
in order to keep food positioned properly.
Process using even pressure with the food
pusher, or use the small feed tube in the
two-piece food pusher. Position food
vertically in the tube and use the small food
pusher to process food.
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 with the food pusher.
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 with the food pusher.
To shred spinach and
other leaves:
Stack leaves. Roll up
and stand up in feed
tube. Process using
even pressure with the
food pusher.
To shred firm and soft
cheeses:
Firm cheese should be very cold. For
best results with soft cheeses, such as
mozzarella, freeze 10-15 minutes before
processing. Cut to fit feed tube. Process
using even pressure with the food pusher.
