1. Watch the burner setting. This is the most important consideration when using Cuisinart cookware. Never use high heat. The cooking surface conducts heat so quickly and uniformly that high heat can cause food to burn. Use medium heat only for a few minutes until liquid is boiling or meat is browned, and then reduce the heat to complete the cooking.
Even the lowest setting on some stoves will overheat or scorch some foods, like thinly sliced onions. An inexpensive "flame-tamer" placed between the burner and the bottom of the pan solves this problem. Flame-tamers are available at most hardware stores.
Cuisinart Cookware and the Oven
   You can put Commercial Cookware, with stainless steel handles, in the oven at any temperature or under the broiler. Remember that the handle as well as the pan will become hot. Use pot holders to prevent burns.
   Original Cookware with wooden handles, can be used at oven temperatures of 350F or lower. Since all ovens tend to overheat when first turned on, allow at least 10 minutes for the oven to stabilize at the desired temperature.
 2. Choose the appropriate utensil for the food. When frying, pan-broiling, saut�ing or roasting use a pan that is just large enough to accommodate the food without crowding. If a skillet is too small, food will be crowded and it will steam rather than brown. On the other hand, if the pan is too large, the drippings on the bottom will burn and you will have no base for a sauce.

Cut a small flat base on one end of the fruit or vegetable you are slicing to prevent it from rolling or sliding in the feed tube. Place it flat side down on the slicing disc. It's best not to place the fruit or vegetable directly on top of the cutting edge. Also, position the food as far left as possible, to prevent it from tilting when being slice. If you are slicing long thin vegetables such as carrots or celery, cut them into lengths to stand in the feed tube and pack them tightly. If slicing a very hard food, such a pepperoni, cut into short lengths, about 2" high, and stand as many of these pieces as will fit in the feed tube so the pepperoni will not tilt when it is being sliced.

You can use your food processor for almost every food preparation task. You may need to change the order in which you use or add the ingredients in a recipe. A good rule of thumb is to use the dry or delicate ingredients, such parsley, while the work bowl is clean and dry.

Be sure the metal blade is firmly seated in the bottom of the bowl. Remove the mixture as soon as you are done processing. Do not remove the blade first. When the blade and bowl are removed together, the blade drops down and forms a type of seal against the bowl.

One of the few things a food processor cannot do is grind coffee beans. The best speed for food processing is too slow for grinding coffee beans. Also, the diameter of the bowl is too large so that the beans can fly to the side because of the centrifugal force. (But, you can grind coffee beans to a fine grind in the Cuisinart Mini-Mate TM Plus Chopper Grinder, especially made to grind, or chop small amounts of fresh ingredients or the Dual Whole Bean Grinder.

Soft cheese must be well chilled. Use the medium shredding disc and, using very little pressure, just tap the pusher down to guide the cheese through the disc. Don't press on the pusher as you do for shredding carrots, for example.

No. Then Use and Care Safeguards section covers standard UL requirements. These grills don't need an on/off switch. Simply disconnect the prong from the grill, then remove the cord from the outlet.
