  • Pulse rather than run continuously to control texture and prevent overprocessing.

  • Use appropriate blade or disc for the task: S-blade for chopping, discs for slicing or grating.

  • Do not overload – process in batches for even results.

  • Add ingredients gradually through feed tube for smooth emulsions.

  • Clean by running with warm soapy water for easy removal of stuck-on bits.

There was a time when I naively thought Busta Rhymes, Modest Mouse, Missy Elliott, and so many others were sell-outs…but I get it now. Certain pages and posts may contain Amazon affiliate links – I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Every item linked is a product I believe in based on my personal experience. Sometimes I'll link to Target, Costco, or another store instead – usually because the price or product is just better (looking at you, Ball jars). I don't earn anything from those links; they're simply where I'd shop myself.
