PUREEING WITH THE QUAD
®
PROCESSING BLADE
The Quad
®
processing blade purees raw
and cooked food to the consistency required,
including baby food. For many large processing
tasks, the four blades will cut the processing
time needed to achieve the desired results.
Always remember to place the Quad
®
processing blade into the bowl before adding
the food.
After pureeing the food, carefully remove
the Quad
®
processing blade and use the
spatula to scrape any food adhering to the
blade and the processing bowl.
