Techniques.
Processing Tips
• If chopping fruit to add to cake batter, process
before making batter, adding a little flour from
quantity recommended in recipe to prevent fruit
sticking to blades.
• When crumbing bread for stuffing, use stale
bread as fresh bread sticks to blades.
• Add liquid to pureed foods after processing.
• Use the food chute when adding liquid to
processed mixtures.
• Peanut butter made in the food processor will
separate on standing. Stir just before use.
• When processing a variety of ingredients, it is
not necessary to remove them after each addi-
tion, unless they exceed the MAX level marking.
• When mixing dry and wet ingredients, the
mixture will process more evenly if the wet
ingredients are placed in the bowl preceding the
dry ingredients.
• Egg white foams used for aerating mixtures such
as fruit sorbet, work successfully. A minimum of
6 egg whites is recommended to ensure lower
section of the Quad
®
processing blade is covered
to maximise the effect.
• Beating egg whites for pavlova or meringue,
requires lengthy beating to dissolve the sugar
and entrap the air. The sharp cutting edge of the
processing blade will not aerate the mixture suf
-
ficiently. It is therefore not recommended to beat
egg whites for meringue in a food processor.
• Before slicing and shredding, trim the food to fit
the food chute.
• Before slicing and shredding soft, partially freeze
softer structured foods (such as meat) until just
firm.
• When finished processing, press the OFF button,
switch the food processor off at the power outlet
and unplug the power cord.
