Let's Begin!
Here is a series of videos I made just for you. This video explains what to do when your new processor arrives. I recommend buying a bag of carrots to practice. You don't give someone a knife and if they have never used one and expect them to make a flower out of a pepper! So start slow and pay attention. You will be shredding like a pro in no time.
Cauliflower Rice
This is the easiest, fastest way to make cauliflower rice. Remember, when you buy precut, vegetables, the nutrition and flavor are lost. Cut it fresh and taste the difference. It will not disappoint!
How to Cut an Onion
No crying over onions here! I like using the number 2 cone best.
Cutting Mushrooms
Quickly slice for a salad, lasagna or for sauteing.
Cutting Pumpkin and Squash
Roasting and cutting a pumpkin was never so easy! When we boil or roast at high heats, our food is no longer as nutritious as it was before we starting cooking. That's because, heat water and oxygen changes the integrity of our food. Cooking at temperatures below 200 will allow us to consume the most nutrition and the flavor is out of this world! Look how easy this is cut with the skin on!!!!!!!! Cone 3 is my favorite.
Grating Ginger
Oh boy, you will love how easy this is! Just buy organic and give your ginger a scrub. Then using Cone 1 and grate. Either use the grated pieces or use your hand and squeeze the juice out. Use the pulp for tea!
Cutting Cabbage
Cabbage everyday... of course!!! This way of slicing takes only seconds.
Cutting Potatoes
Use cone 1 for hash browns, cone 3 for fries, cone 4 for slicing and cone 5 for fancy chips.
