Everyday making: continuous slicer/grater attachment
Food preparation can often be a time-consuming task particularly when you’re chopping and grating ingredients by hand. It can also be difficult to chop your ingredients to the same width or size each time.
The continuous slicer/grater attachment is your new food prep hero. Working from your stand mixer’s high-speed outlet, this attachment effortlessly preps a range of fresh ingredients, producing consistent, evenly sized results in no time.
How to attach the continuous slicer/grater attachment
Remove the high-speed outlet cover and fit the gearbox assembly onto your mixer.
Select the cutting plate you want to use (each one is numbered to help identify it) and push it onto the shaft, with the plate number facing up.
Fit the sweeper onto the shaft, with the flat surface against the plate. For best results when using the slicing or chipping plates, the sweeper arm should be positioned opposite the blade.
Attach the lid and lock into place before fitting the attachment onto the gearbox. Fit the extension chute into the food outlet, pushing it firmly into place to secure. Place a bowl beneath it.
Choose the appropriate feed tube. The smaller feed tube is designed to be used when you’re processing individual or thin ingredients. Then prepare your fresh ingredients ready for processing:
● When using the large feed tube, cut food so it fills the width of the feed tube, to prevent it from slipping sideways during processing.
● If you’re using a chipper plate, place thin ingredients horizontally.
● When slicing or shredding, food placed upright comes out shorter than when placed horizontally.
Switch your mixer to speed 3 and evenly push your ingredients down the feed tube with the pusher. Once you’ve finished, raise and lower the pusher several times to reduce the amount of food left on the cutting plate.
