Use the correct pusher size so the ingredient fits the feed tube (and pushes safely)
Choose the feed tube insert and matching pusher that fits your ingredient so it feeds straight and your hands stay away from the disc.
They select the middle feed tube insert because a carrot fits through it, then use the small pusher to press it down.
The short version
- Pick a tube size that matches the ingredient
- Use the pusher—don’t use fingers to feed food
What you need
- food processorWith nested pushers/feed tube inserts
What goes wrong
Using an oversized feed tube so the food tilts or feeds unevenly
Use the smaller insert/pusher that fits the ingredient
Why it works
A snug fit reduces wobble and improves even contact with the disc while keeping fingers away from moving blades.
