Julienne disk (HR7775 only)

  • The adjustable slicing disk is not suitable for slicing chocolate. Use the chopping knife for chopping chocolate.
  • When you chop soft ingredients (onions, eggs), use a slow speed to prevent the ingredients from turning into a puree
  • For chopping hard ingredients (nuts, Parmesan cheese, chocolate) use a high speed to get a fine result
