Using the Breville food processors with Paradice attachments (9 or 16)

[TdeV]

Does anyone know of a source which tells which cutting blade to use for which vegetable (or fruit)?

 

Large onions and potatoes dice beautifully (dicing blade and grid). I think @lindag has also used the green blade (S blade) for onion.  I tried the slicing blade (Adjustable slicer) on a small onion but it was a disaster; the onion fell over in the feed tube and needed to be cut by hand.

 

I used the slicing blade (Adjustable slicer) for celery which was fine.

 

@lindag and I have both chopped up garlic with the green blade (S blade) which worked well.

 

I have shredded carrots with the Reversible Shredder.

 

So I've just come back from the grocery story with zucchini, butternut squash, russet potatoes, a box of arugula and a bundle of parsley. What can I make with that?

I have been reading Breville's recipe page for food processors. I don't know what most people do for recipe collection, but these recipes are nearly impossible to collect.

 

Copy/paste spends a lot of time with tiny icons of what the recipe ingredients are which takes a long time to render and then 100 years to prune out of the copied document. 

 

Print to pdf gets mangled at the page margins, so you can't be sure you've got all the ingredients or instructions either.

 

If anyone has solutions, please say so!

I'm not much help but did you try calling Breville?  I just tried copying a recipe into Evernote and while I could copy the ingredients and method successfully, I could not copy and paste the whole thing.  It's almost as though they don't want you to be able to do this.  Also, there are no print buttons on the recipes that I could see.

even though I subscribe to the NYTimes , and book mark interesting Rx's , I sometime take a ' picture ' of the Rx 

 

label it , and stpre it in a folder .  Im on a Mac , and use SnapNDrag   .   Im sure you can find similar for your OS.

 

BTW   SND is quite old , as Im currently using an older Mac OS   here is an example from B's page :

 

 

for review purposes , of course.

And they also have bad grammar:

See more recipes

See less recipes

 

Sheesh!

 

I will see what calling them does. Thanks.

@rotuts, I want to copy recipes as text, because I frequently search on the text.

I will try a screenshot next time. Though if the recipe is long, it's hard to see how one would get the screenshot on one page. And dividing such a page is probably how print-to-pdf got in so much trouble!

SnapNdrag does screen shots , but I use it in this instance as  ' click then drag ' to just get the Rx.

 

its true , if the Rx is long , and you want the whole thing in a pic , I zoom out w the browser.

 

not perfect , but workable for me.
