MAX 2 A narrower opening for liquids and small solid ingredients. In the case of solids, never fill the bowl more than 2/3 full. · To make optimum use of your food processor and reduce cleaning to a minimum, use the Mini bowl first, then the Midi and finally the Main bowl. Process hard or dry ingredients first and liquid preparations last. · Use the Pulse function to maintain complete control over the final result. You can also use it for roughly chopping or processing. · Use the spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. · If your processor starts to vibrate, carefully clean and dry the feet. · To achieve the very best results when chopping, grating or slicing soft foodstuffs (meat, fish, soft cheese, etc. ), put them in the freezer for a few minutes first. · Mini bowl The Mini bowl is ideal for baby food and can double as a storage container once you have removed the metal blade. You can also put it directly in the microwave (minus the metal blade) to heat food up (purée, baby's soup, etc. ). · Midi bowl The Midi bowl is perfect for grating and slicing cheese, fruit and vegetables. · Metal blade When handling large quantities, cut the meat, vegetables, etc. For soups, sauces, pancake batter, etc. , start by combining the solid ingredients.

Pulse a few times to begin with, then blend continuously to achieve the desired consistency. Fresh herbs : before chopping fresh herbs, check that both the herbs and the bowl are perfectly clean and dry. This way, you will obtain better results and the herbs will keep for longer. Meat and fish : when mincing meat or fish, use the pulse function to monitor the final result. · Dough blade Bread dough, shortcrust pastry, rich shortcrust pastry : begin by combining the solid ingredients (flour, yeast, etc. ).
