Using a KitchenAid Food Processor Dicer Attachment can make your food preparation process easier and more efficient. This attachment allows you to dice vegetables and fruits with precision and speed. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of using the KitchenAid Food Processor Dicer Attachment, from assembly to cleaning, so you can make the most of this handy kitchen tool.
Step 1: Assembly
Before you can start using the KitchenAid Food Processor Dicer Attachment, you need to assemble it correctly. Begin by attaching the dicing grid to the dicing disc. Make sure they lock together firmly. Next, attach the adapter to the food processor’s multipurpose blade. Once securely attached, slide the dicing blade onto the adapter until it locks into place. This step ensures that the dicing blade is aligned correctly for effective dicing.
Step 2: Prepare Your Ingredients
To use the KitchenAid Food Processor Dicer Attachment, you need to prepare your ingredients for dicing. Start by washing and cleaning the fruits or vegetables you wish to dice. Ensure they are free from dirt and debris. Then, peel your produce if desired or necessary for the recipe. After peeling, cut your ingredients into chunks that fit through the food processor’s feed tube. It is important to have uniformly sized pieces so that the dicer attachment can work efficiently.
Step 3: Attach the Dicing Attachment
Now that your ingredients are ready, it’s time to attach the KitchenAid Food Processor Dicer Attachment to your KitchenAid stand mixer. Ensure the food processor attachment hub is clean and dry before attaching the dicer. Slide the attachment onto the hub until it clicks into place. You will feel a firm connection when the attachment is securely attached. This step ensures that the dicer attachment will stay in place during the dicing process.
Step 4: Start Dicing
With the attachment properly assembled and attached, you can begin dicing your ingredients. Turn on your KitchenAid stand mixer and select a speed that suits your recipe and the texture you want to achieve. Then, start feeding your prepared ingredients through the food processor’s feed tube. Use the food pusher provided with the dicer attachment to guide the ingredients into the feed tube and prevent splattering. As the ingredients pass through the dicer attachment, perfectly diced pieces will come out from the other side.
Step 5: Repeat and Adjust
As you continue dicing your ingredients, you may need to stop occasionally to empty the diced pieces from the collection container. This will prevent overflow and allow you to maintain a consistent dicing process. If you are dicing large quantities or multiple batches, be sure to monitor the attachment’s collection container’s capacity to avoid any spills. Additionally, you may need to adjust the speed or size of ingredients depending on your desired results. Experiment with different settings to find the perfect dice for your specific recipe.
Step 6: Cleaning and Storage
Once you have finished dicing your ingredients, it’s important to clean the KitchenAid Food Processor Dicer Attachment thoroughly. Start by removing all the parts from the stand mixer. Rinse the grid, dicing disc, adapter, and blade with warm soapy water. Use a brush or sponge to remove any stuck-on food particles. Pay extra attention to the blade as it may have accumulated residue from the dicing process. Dry all the parts thoroughly before storing them. We recommend storing the attachment in a clean and dry location, separate from other kitchen tools, to prevent any damage or contamination.
