Using the Food Processor attachment

Rotating Blade Hazard
Always use food pusher.

Keep fingers out of openings.
Keep away from children.
Failure to do so can result in amputation or cuts.

Before operating the Food Processor attachment, be sure the attachment assembly and discs are properly assembled and attached to the Stand Mixer (see "Assembling the Food Processor attachment" section). Place a bowl or container underneath the feed tube to catch all processed food.

  1. Place the interlock lid on the attachment assembly, making sure to click the lock into place. Turn on the Stand Mixer on to the appropriate speed. See the Speed selection guide for more information
    Using the Food Processor attachment - Step 1
  2. Use the food pusher to slowly feed items into the attachment assembly.
    Using the Food Processor attachment - Step 2

Using the 2-in-1 food pusher

The 2-in-1 food pusher features a smaller chute inside of a larger food pusher.

Use the small feed tube and pusher to process small or slender items, like single carrots or celery stalks.

To slice or shred small items, insert the 2-piece food pusher into the feed tube so that the smaller chute is oriented as shown.

Place food items in the smaller chute and use the small food pusher to process.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

Using a slicing or shredding disc

Rotating Blade Hazard
Always use food pusher.

Keep fingers out of openings.
Keep away from children.
Failure to do so can result in amputation or cuts.

To slice or shred fruits and vegetables that are small:
Position food vertically or horizontally in layers within the feed tube. Fill feed tube in order to keep food positioned properly. Process using even pressure with the food pusher. Or use the small feed tube in the two-piece food pusher. Position food vertically in the tube and use the small food pusher to process food.

To slice cooked meat or poultry, such as pepperoni:
Food should be very cold. Cut in pieces to fit feed tube. Process food using firm, even pressure with the food pusher.

To shred spinach and other leaves:
Stack leaves. Roll up and stand up in feed tube. Process using even pressure with the food pusher.


To slice or shred fruits or vegetables that are long and relatively small in diameter, such as carrots and bananas:
Cut food to fit feed tube vertically and pack feed tube securely to keep food positioned properly. Process using even pressure with the food pusher. Or use the small feed tube in the two-piece food pusher. Position food vertically in the tube and use the small food pusher to process food.

To slice or shred fruits and vegetables that are round, such as onions, and apples:
Peel, core, and remove seeds. Cut in halves or quarters to fit feed tube. Position in feed tube. Process using even pressure with the food pusher.


To shred firm and soft cheeses:
Firm cheese should be very cold. For best results, thoroughly freeze soft cheeses, such as mozzarella, before processing. This may take several hours to achieve proper firmness for best processing.

Helpful hints

  • Sometime slender foods, such as carrots or celery, fall over in the feed tube, resulting in an uneven slice. To minimize this, cut food in several pieces and pack the feed tube with the food. For processing small or slender items, the small feed tube in the 2-piece food pusher will prove especially convenient. For best results, cut a small amount off the end to create a flat surface when processing a single carrot or celery stalk.
  • Your Food Processor attachment is not designed to perform the following functions:

RECIPES

Crispy Potato Latkes

DISCS USED:

Makes 12-16 latkes

TIP: If a thermometer is unavailable, test the oil heat by placing a piece of potato mixture into the pan. Oil is ready when it bubbles.

5 R usset potatoes, scrubbed and peeled
¼ large white onion, peeled
2 l arge eggs, beaten
2 t ablespoons all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
¼ cup oil for frying

Place the adjustable slicing disc on the KitchenAid® Food Processor attachment and slide the external lever to the 5th notch. Place the onion into the large feed tube and slice into a large bowl. Remove the slicing disc.

Place the 4 mm shredding disc on the food processor attachment and use the large food pusher to shred the potatoes into a large bowl and cover with water. Soak for 15 minutes and dry throughly on a large kitchen towel.

Add the potatoes to the onions and toss. Add the eggs, flour, salt, and pepper and mix well with clean hands.

Heat the oil in a large sauté pan to 375°F (191°C). For each latke, place ¼ cup of the potato mixture into the pan and pat it down lightly. Fry for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the potatoes are very brown and crispy. Place cooked latkes onto a large platter or plate lined with paper towel to absorb the oil. Serve latkes with sour cream or applesauce.

Apple and Brie Crostini with Honey and Toasted Walnuts

DISCS USED:

Makes 40-50 crostini

TIP: Pears can be substituted for apples if desired.

1 baguette, sliced into ½-inch rounds
1 Honeycrisp apple, cored
3 Tbs honey
½ oz Créme de Brie
½ cup toasted, crumbled walnuts
4 chives, snipped

Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C). Lightly brush each baguette round with extra virgin olive oil and bake for 8-10 minutes or until just beginning to brown.

Position the adjustable slicing disc on the Food Processor attachment with the slice setting for thickest slices. Place the apple pieces vertically into the feed tube and slice.

Spread 1 teaspoon Brie on each crostini, top with one apple slice, and drizzle ¼ teaspoon of honey over top. Sprinkle with walnuts evenly then garnish with the chives.

Spiced Garlic Dill Pickles

DISCS USED:

Makes 8 pint-sized jars

TIP: To add more heat to the pickles, slice two jalapeños with the adjustable slicing disc and place 1 to 2 slices in each jar. The more seeds that are added, the spicier the pickles will become.

8 peeled garlic cloves
8 teaspoons dill seed
4 teaspoons black peppercorns
4 t easpoons crushed red pepper flakes
4 teaspoons mustard seeds
2 teaspoons celery seeds
¼ large white onion, peeled 5 large seedless cucumbers
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 tablespoons kosher salt
4 cups apple cider vinegar
4 cups water

Slide the external lever to the 6th notch. Feed the cucumbers through the large feed tube to slice. Remove the cucumbers and fill each jar evenly with the slices, packing them in as necessary.

In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, salt, cider vinegar, and water and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to help dissolve the sugar and salt. Remove from heat and pour 1 to 1¼ cups of brine overtop the contents of each jar, leaving ½ inch space from the top.

Secure the lids and allow jars to cool to room temperature before chilling. Chill for 48 hours before serving.

Goat Cheese Toasts with Vegetables and Basil

Unfold the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Use a 3-inch circular cutter to cut 9 circles from each sheet. Chill remaining pastry scraps for further use.

Place the pastry rounds onto the prepared baking sheets and gently spread 1½ teaspoons of goat cheese onto each. Layer one slice of zucchini, one slice of squash, one slice of tomato and one basil leaf on top of the cheese.
