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 optimise your time, weigh all the ingredients before starting slicing. Remember that the basket holds approximately 800 g grated fruits or vegetables.
• • Large ingredients such as butternut squash, aubergine or celeriac need trimming to fit in the feeder.
• • For half-moon slices of long vegetables such as aubergines, 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.
