Slicing Mode 

What is it?

Using the Thermomix® Cutter accessory, you can effortlessly slice fruit and vegetables with Slicing mode.

How does it work?

With the cutter disc inserted with side 1 facing up, conveniently choose between a thin (1-2 mm) or thick (4-5 mm) cut to rapidly slice a wide variety of fruits or vegetables in seconds.

Works best for:

• Time conscious chefs looking to save time preparing ingredients.
• Precise foodies looking for the most even and accurate cuts.
• Raw eaters looking to retain the nutritious benefits of eating raw.

Top Tips:

• • Ensure the cutter disc is inserted with side 1 facing up. The dark central hub needs to be facing upwards for slicing.
• • Slicing in batches will ensure a better end result and avoid overflowing the cutter basket. To optimize your time, weigh all the ingredients before starting slicing. Remember that the basket holds approximately 28 oz grated fruits or vegetables.
• • Large ingredients such as butternut squash, eggplant or celeriac need trimming to fit in the feeder.
• • For half-moon slices of long vegetables such as eggplant, choose small slices and cut them in half lengthways using a knife. Place the halves upright in the wide part of the feeder tube.
• • Thickly slice vegetables in batches and freeze for roasts, soups or stews.
• • Fruits and vegetables should be ripe but firm to the touch.
