How to Use Reversible Slicing/Shredding Disc

To slice or shred fruits or vegetables that are long and relatively small in diameter, such as celery, carrots, and bananas: Cut food to fit feed tube vertically or horizontally, and pack so that the food is supported. It should not be packed so tightly that it cannot move freely. 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, apples, and green peppers: 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 slice or shred fruits and vegetables that are small, such as strawberries, mushrooms, and radishes: 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 uncooked meat or poultry, such as stir-fry meats: Cut or roll food to fit feed tube. Wrap and freeze food until hard to the touch, 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on thickness of food. Check to be sure you can still pierce food with the tip of a sharp knife. If not, allow to thaw slightly. Process using even pressure with the food pusher.
