sides of the bowl.. Check the texture of the food regularly to avoid chopping the food too fine.
Chopping fresh herbs:
The aromatic herbs, bowl and blade must all be thoroughly cleaned and dried. Remove the stems
from the herbs keeping only the tender parts of the herbs. Place the herbs in the work bowl and press
and release
several times until the herbs are chopped to the desired consistency. The longer
you chop the herbs, the more finely chopped they will be.
If the herbs have been dried properly before they are chopped, they may be stored in an airtight bag
in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. They may also be frozen.
Chopping meat, poultry, fish and shellfish:
Food should be very cold, but not frozen. Cut the food into 1.5 cm pieces. Press
to chop
roughly, then hold down a few seconds longer to chop finely. If necessary, use the spatula to remove
food that is stuck to the side of the bowl.
Producing a purée:
Chop roughly using a pulsing action then press and hold
until the desired texture is achieved.
(N.B.: this function is not suitable for mashing potatoes)
Adding liquids:
You can add liquids like water, oil and flavouring while the appliance is running. Pour the liquid
through one of the two openings in the lid. Make sure you leave the other opening free so that air
can circulate freely.
C. GRINDING
This function can be used for hard foods like walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, coffee beans, etc.
Use the same procedure for hard foods: press
using a pulse action, ensuring that the food falls
to the bottom of the bowl each time you stop. For a finer texture, press and hold
for several
seconds.
