How to Prepare
Peel and core if necessary. Remove large, hard pits and seeds. Cut into ¾-inch pieces
and process up to 1 cup at a time.
These should be very cold, but not frozen. First, cut into ¾-inch pieces. Put up to ½
pound in work bowl. Pulse until desired consistency is reached. Check texture every 2
or 3 seconds to avoid overprocessing.
Break into 1-inch 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. Process no more than 1 cup at a time.
Chop crackers or cookies as described in preceding paragraph. Add other ingredients
as specified by recipe. Pulse until combined. Process no more than 1 cup at a time.
If it is too hard to cut with a knife, don't try to chop it – it may damage blade. First cut
into ½-inch pieces. Pulse 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 no
more than 3 ounces at one time.
Process refrigerated cream 1 cup at a time. It is excellent as a topping for desserts or
hot drinks.
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 fro-
zen for months. Chop up to ½ cup at one time.
For best results, work bowl and blade 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
work bowl. Process for 15 to 20 seconds.
