• Cut the end of the food to create a flat
surface to ensure it can be attached to
the end of the pusher. Uneven ends will
make it difficult to secure to the end of
the pusher causing poor results.
• Ensure that the diameter of the food
is more than 5 cm so that it can be
attached securely to the end of the
pusher.
