Basic Food Processing Techniques continued
Process using the ON button until mixed to a
smooth consistency. If necessary, interrupt
the processing, remove the lid and scrape the
mixture from the sides of the bowl. Replace
the lid and continue but do not over-process
the mixture.
Egg whites
Ensure the processing bowl and Quad®
processing blade are clean, dry and free of any
fat residue.
Place a minimum of 6 egg whites and a pinch
of salt into the processing bowl. Process using
the ON button until egg whites are foamy
(about 1 minute). With the motor running,
slowly add 1 tablespoon lemon juice to help
stabilise the egg white foam.
The foamed egg whites are not
recommended for making meringue or
Pavlova (Refer to processing tips).
Egg whites Egg white foam
Sorbet
Place ripe fruit and a sugar syrup into the
processing bowl and process until smooth.
Transfer this mixture to a plastic dish and
freeze until just starting to set. Return frozen
mixture to the processing bowl and process
using PULSE button until smooth. Return
mixture to freezer as before and repeat process
2-3 times to break down large ice crystals.
Beat egg whites until foamy (see Egg Whites
in this section). Add frozen fruit puree to egg
white foam and process using PULSE button
until folded through evenly. Freeze until ready
to serve.
Milkshakes
Place milk, flavourings and ice-cream into the
processing bowl and process using ON button
until frothy. Do not exceed MAX liquid level.
Whipped cream
Place 600ml well-chilled cream into the
processing bowl and process using PULSE
button until whipped to desired consistency.
SLICING, SHREDDING AND
GRATING WITH THE DISCS
Both thick and thin slicing can be achieved
by using either the Coarse or Fine Slicing/
Shredding Discs. Use one side of the Coarse
disc for thick slicing and the other side for
coarse shredding. Use one side of the Fine
Disc for thin slicing and the other side for fine
shredding. Carefully turn the required disc so
that the process required is facing upwards.
When fine grating, is required use the Fine
Grating Disc.
Place either the Coarse or Fine Slicing/
Shredding or Fine Grating disc into the
processing bowl.
Prepare food as directed in the following
food categories or recipes.
Pack food into the food chute as directed
in the following food categories. The food
should fit snugly so it is supported upright
in the food chute, but not so tight that it
prevents the food from easily moving down
the food chute when guided by the food
pusher.
Process
using the ON button whilst at same
time, gently guiding the food down the food
chute using the food pusher. Never force the
food down as this will damage the discs.
Apply light pressure for soft foods such as
tomatoes and bananas; medium pressure
