To Prepare for Slicing
Cut into even lengths about 1" (2.5 cm) shorter than
height of feed tube. Stand pieces upright in feed tube,
flat side down, adding enough pieces so they cannot tilt.
Cut one end flat, then cut lengthwise in halves or
quarters. Pack solidly in feed tube to prevent tilting.
Fill feed tube to about 1" (2.5 cm) from top. Use light
to moderate pressure.
Slice off top and bottom, leaving centre section.
Place in feed tube, flat side down.
Cut off top and bottom, leaving centre section. Cut
into wedges to fit feed tube upright. Remove core.
Cut top and bottom pieces in similar wedges.
Use boneless cuts. Cut into feed-tube lengths.
Remove skin if desired. Wrap in plastic wrap and put
in freezer until it feels hard when you try to squeeze it
but is still easily pierced through with tip of sharp
knife. Remove plastic wrap and stand upright in feed
tube. Note: Chicken and beef for stir-fries should be
sliced with the grain. Boned, skinned chicken breast
will usually fit when frozen as described above and
cut in half crosswise.
Do not slice.
Cut into pieces to fit feed tube. Stand pieces in feed
tube and use light pressure on pusher.
To Prepare for Shredding
For long shreds, cut into largest size that will fit
sideways in feed tube. Stack in feed tube to about
1" (2.5 cm) from top. For shorter shreds, stand pieces
upright in feed tube, flat side down (as described in
slicing column).
Prepare same as for slicing. Place in feed tube
sideways for longer shreds, or upright for shorter
shreds.
Radishes shred well.
