Speed selection guide

Different foods require varying degrees of pressure and speed for optimized results.
• In general, use light pressure and low speeds for soft, delicate foods — soft fruits and
vegetables like kiwi or ripened tomatoes, as well as soft cheeses like mozzarella.
• Use firmer pressure with high speed for harder foods — hard vegetables like potatoes
and carrots, meats like pepperoni, and hard cheeses like Pecorino Romano.
Use the table provided to determine the appropriate speed for your recipe.
