Mahalo cooking expert Scott Aaronson demonstrating how to chop using a food processor.
What You'll Need
- Cutting board
- Knife
- Fruit or vegetable (such as zucchini)
- Food processor
Step 1: Preparation
1. Cut your ingredients into equal
parts. In order for them to come out evenly sized, they 
should be uniform when you put them into the food processor. Make sure you cut them into pieces small enough to fit into the food processor.
2. Make sure your work bowl (the clear container with the handle) is locked into place on the unit.
Step 2: Chopping with the Food Processor
1. Put your ingredients into the food processor's work bowl.
2. Put the top of the food processor on the work bowl. Make sure to lock the top shut to avoid any food eruptions.

3. Press the processor's "pulse" button multiple times, until your ingredients are 
chopped down to the size you want to make them. Using the pulse option allows you greater control than turning on the processor would.
This way, you can keep an eye on the texture of the food and avoid
over-processing it.
