knife blade/ dough tool
The knife blade is the most versatile of all the attachments. The
length of the processing time will determine the texture achieved.
For coarser textures use the pulse control.
Use the knife blade for cake and pastry making, chopping raw and
cooked meat, vegetables, nuts, pate, dips, pureeing soups and to
also make crumbs from biscuits and bread.
Use the dough tool for yeasted mixes.
