knife blade

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, pâté, dips, pureeing soups, and to also make crumbs from biscuits and bread.

hints

  • Cut food such as meat, bread, and vegetables into cubes approximately 2cm/3/4in before processing.
  • Biscuits should be broken into pieces and added down the feed tube whilst the appliance is running.
  • When making pastry use fat straight from the fridge and cut into 2cm/3/4in.cubes.
  • Take care not to over-process.

Dough tool

Use for yeasted dough mixes.

  • Place the dry ingredients in the bowl and add the liquid down the feed tube whilst the appliance is running. Process until a smooth elastic ball of dough is formed this will take approx. 60 secs.
  • Re-knead by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not recommended as it may cause the processor to become unstable.

Dual whisk

Use for light mixtures only e.g. egg whites, cream, evaporated milk and for whisking eggs and sugar for fatless sponges. Heavier mixtures such as fat and flour will damage it.
