To make quick breads

and cakes that use baking

powder and/or soda:

The most important rule

for success is not to

overmix after adding the

flour. The ingredients for

these soft doughs should

be cold. If the recipe calls

for chopped ingredients

like lemon peel or nuts,

chop them first while the

work bowl is clean and dry,

then set aside until needed.

Put dry ingredients like flour,

salt and leavening in the

work bowl and process with

the metal blade for 5 sec-

onds to mix. Remove and

reserve the dry ingredients.

Add the eggs and sugar

to the work bowl and, using

the ON button, process to

mix, letting the machine run

about 1 minute. Next, add

butter at room temperature

and cut into 1-inch pieces.

Run machine continuously

for a minute, until the butter

is thoroughly mixed with the

sugar and eggs. Then add

flavoring and liquid – vanilla,

spices, cocoa, etc. Process

until mixed. Add the dry

ingredients to the work bowl.

Process by pulsing,

inspecting after each pulse.

Stop pulsing as soon as

the dry ingredients have

almost disappeared into the

batter. Overprocessing will

cause quick breads and

cakes to be tough. (If your

recipe calls for ingredients

that are to be coarsely

chopped – like raisins or

nuts – add them last with

the mixed dry ingredients.)

To make cake mix:

Your food processor

work bowl is large enough

for the preparation of an

18.5-ounce packaged

cake mix.

Insert the metal blade and

add the cake mix to the

work bowl. Press the ON

button and while the

machine is running, add

the eggs and liquid through

the small feed tube and

process for 5 seconds.

Scrape down the sides

of the work bowl and

process 1 minute more for

maximum volume. Do not

remove the metal blade.

Insert a finger into the

underside of the blade

from the bottom of the

work bowl to hold the

blade in place while

emptying the batter.

Tip:

After emptying cake batter

or puréed soup from the

work bowl, replace the

bowl on the motor base

and PULSE once.

Centrifugal force will spin

the batter off the blade onto

the sides of the work bowl.

Remove the blade, and use

the spatula to scrape any

remaining batter from the

bowl.

PREPARING FOOD

FOR SLICING AND

SHREDDING

For disc assembly

instructions, refer to

Assembly Instructions.

Round fruits and

vegetables:

Before processing onions,

apples and other large,

round fruits and vegeta-

bles, cut the bottom ends

flat to make the food lie

stable on the disc.

Place the food in the

feed tube, flat side down,

as far left as possible, to

prevent it from tilting when

being processed.

Choose fruits that are

firm and not too ripe.

Remove large hard pits

and seeds from fruits

before processing. Seeds

from citrus fruits need not

be removed. Remove the

rind before slicing or

shredding, if desired.

Whole peppers are

an exception:

Remove the stem and cut

the stem end flat. Remove

the core and scoop out the

seeds. Leave the end

opposite the stem whole, to

keep the structure stiff. This

ensures round, even slices.

Large fruits like

pineapple:

Cut the ends flat, cut in

half and core. If necessary,

cut the halves into smaller

pieces to fit the feed tube.

Cabbage and

iceberg lettuce:

Turn the head on its side

and slice off the top and

bottom, leaving a center

section about 3 inches (8cm)

deep. Remove the core,

then cut in wedges to fit the

feed tube. Remove the core

from the bottom and top

pieces and cut into wedges

to fit into the feed tube.

The optional 2mm and

1mm slicing discs are

excellent for slicing cabbage

for coleslaw.

If the fruit or vegetable

doesn’t fit, try inserting it

from the bottom of the feed

tube, where the opening is

slightly larger.
