Some additional techniques are required when chopping, grinding, and pureeing. In your standard processor model, attachments will slip on over the shaft, inside the bowl. standard attachments for any processor include the S-shaped blade, as well as shredding and slicing discs.

Foodstuffs can be pushed down through a feed tube, where they contact the disc, and are then grated or sliced straight into the bowl.
