Starfrit Dual Speed Pro Food Processor
ABOUT THE DUAL-SPEED PRO FOOD PROCESSOR
The Dual Speed Pro Food Processor has two built-in gearing ratios, Gear 1 (grey gear socket) and Gear 2 (green gear socket). These gearing ratios are applied to each turn of the handle.
When the handle is placed in Gear 1 (grey gear socket), each turn of the handle generates 4 turns of the blade or whipping attachment, delivering more power, or torque. When the handle is placed in Gear 2 (green gear socket), each turn of the handle generates 8 turns of the blade or whipping attachment, generating more speed.
Always start the Dual Speed Food Processor in Gear 1, and then as food gets chopped fine and turning the handle gets easier, switch to Gear 2 to increase speed and efficiency.
CHOPPING
- Place the blade on the center post before adding ingredients. Blades are used for chopping produce like onions, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and more…
- Add ingredients.
- Place the lid over the container.
- Insert the gear handle firmly into Gear 1 (grey socket) until it clicks.
- Turn the handle to chop (chops in both directions) with the palm of one hand while maintaining constant pressure on the lid with the other to ensure no spillage.
TIPS:
- After starting on Gear 1 and when turning has become easier, transfer the handle to Gear 2 (green socket) for easier, more efficient chopping and mincing.
- DO NOT start chopping large or quartered produce on Gear 2.
- Dual Speed Pro Food Processor is perfect for combining ingredients while chopping.
- Try adding multiple different ingredients.
- Precut produce to a smaller size before chopping for easier use.
- Don’t use the chopping blade for mixing liquids.
To Crush Ice:
Place the blade on the center post. Add up to 8 standard-sized ice cubes in the container. Make sure to use ice cubes that just came out of the freezer to increase the Food Processor’s performance. Start chopping on Gear 1. Tum until ice starts to break up and turning becomes easier. Switch on Gear 2 and turn until the desired ice texture is.
Note:
Grinding ice requires some physical strength.
