Tips for better handling food size: Always cut large pieces of food into small pieces—about 1/2 inch thick—for even pieces. Processed foods should not go more than two-thirds of the way into the work bowl. Please note: due to the powerful motor, it is recommended to support the mincer / mincer with one hand during operation. Chopping and grinding: Use the chopping function to chop, puree and mix. For example, it is the right choice for cutting soft and brittle foods such as herbs, celery, onions, garlic and most types of cheese. It is also the right choice for mashing cooked vegetables, making mayonnaise and mixing salad dressings. Use the grinding function to grind spices and crush hard foods like pepper, seeds, chocolate and nuts. Pulse vs. Continuous: Pulse is better when using the hash function. Two or three pulses are usually sufficient. Make sure to check foods regularly to prevent them from being over-processed. If you process a lot, you may end up with a watery paste instead of small pieces. When using the grinding function, continuous tension is preferred. Depending on the type of food, you may need to run the machine for a few seconds to get the desired effect - some seeds can take up to 20 seconds. During continuous operation, make a pulsating motion every 10 seconds to help the food reach the bottom of the working bowl. This provides more consistent results. Do not operate the device for more than a minute at a time. Adding liquids: You can add liquids such as water, oil or perfume while the machine is running. For example, you may need to add oil when making mayonnaise or salad dressing.
