Assemble a food processor slicing disc with the drive shaft and finger-safe hub
Insert the drive shaft and use the disc’s finger holes/hub to place the slicing blade without touching the sharp edge.
They describe placing the drive shaft first, then setting the slicing blade/disc onto it using the built-in holes meant for fingers to avoid cutting yourself.
The short version
- Use the disc’s finger holes/hub to avoid cuts
- Shaft goes in before the disc

How to do it
- 1
Place the drive shaft into the bowl.
Make sure it’s fully seated before adding any disc.
Watch this step - 2
Hold the slicing disc by its hub/finger holes (not the blade edge) and lower it onto the shaft.
Use the holes specifically to avoid slipping onto the sharp edge.

What goes wrong
Grabbing the slicing disc by the sharp edge
Use the hub/finger holes to handle the disc safely
Why it works
Using the hub/holes keeps hands away from the cutting edge and ensures the disc is seated on the shaft.

Use the oven as an alternative to an air fryer for finishing the pizza
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can finish cooking the topped pizza in the oven instead.
Finish a topped pizza in an air fryer at 180°C for 7 minutes
After topping the base, cook it in an air fryer at 180°C for about 7 minutes to melt cheese and heat through.
Expect a small end piece to remain in the feed tube when shredding/slicing
When shredding or slicing in a food processor, the last small piece often doesn’t feed through cleanly and may stick near the top.
Use the small feed-tube drip hole for slow, controlled liquid addition
If your food processor pusher has a small hole, use it to add liquids slowly (e.g., for dressings) while processing.
