food processing tips
Your food processor can be a very useful to help quickly prepare your favorite meals. With an assortment of blades and attachments, the food processor chops, slices, blends, grinds, purees, and mixes. Standard attachments include an all-purpose s-blade, a shredding blade, a slicing blade, and a dough blade (for bread and pastry).
You can use the shredding blade for cheese, carrots, cabbage, etc. The slicing blade will make perfect slices of your favorite vegetables, and the s-blade will chop nuts, fruits, and whatever else your heart desires. The pulse button is one of the most important aspects of the food processor. Pulsing allows you to pay close attention to the texture of the food so that you wind up with the desired consistency. Pulsing also results in a more even chop, since the food has time to drip back down to the bottom before the next pulse.
One thing to keep in mind when using your food processor: Make sure to chop/combine the dry ingredients before moving on to the wet ingredients. This way you won't have to clean and dry the processor bowl in between jobs.
