Learning about your hand and stand mixer

The Breville® hand and stand mixer with    HeatSoftTM technology has been designed to allow you to bake when inspired. No more waiting for ingredients like butter to reach room temperature! Now you can soften and mix in one step!

Did you know?

Many recipes require ingredients like butter to be at room temperature. Butter will only reach room temperature after hours of sitting on the counter. If you use butter that’s cold, straight from the refrigerator, it will result in heavy and dense baked goods. Butter that
is microwaved or melted can create an oily batter resulting in soggy, flat cookies. Using room temperature ingredients creates fluffier results and better baked goods.

HeatSoftTM technology

The HeatSoftTM button allows for butter to be softened while mixing. HeatSoftTM Technology uses gentle heat to bring cold ingredients to room temperature while mixing eliminating the need to plan ahead.

Boost button

The boost button features allows for an added boost to the selected speed setting at the

press of the button.

Beater eject button

The beater eject button design allows for a separate push of the thumb to release the beaters, dough hooks or whisk.

CAUTION: Make sure hand mixer is unplugged before removing or inserting any attachments.

Baking top tips

• When mixing liquids, especially hot liquid: add small quantities at a time to reduce spillage.
• Ingredients should be added to the mixing bowl in the order they are specified in the recipe.
• Use the mixing speed that is recommended in the Use the speed control button of the mixer to help you find the correct speed to use.
• Use mixing times as specified in BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERMIX. Over mixing can cause the mixture to become very tough.
• Should an object, such as a spatula, fall into the bowl while the mixer is operating, turn the mixer OFF immediately, then remove the object.
• For easier cleanup remove attachments and rinse immediately with warm
• Use the SwivelScrapeTM technology switch to manoevre the beaters towards the sides of the This will allow the user to continually mix recipes, without the need for stopping to manually scrape down.

Using your HeatSoft hand and stand mixer

2. Before starting, read the recipe completely.
3. Butter can be used straight from the fridge. Simply cut into cubes, add to the mixing bowl, select HeatSoft and begin gentle mixing on Speed 2, all other ingredients should be at room Cream is best when it is whipped cold straight from the fridge.
4. Before starting your recipe, position the oven racks into the centre of the Preheat the oven to the temperature recommended in the recipe and gather all the ingredients and utensils near to the mixer.
5. Caster sugar is the preferred choice for cake Add to the bowl with the chilled butter, once softened, increase the mixer speed and cream until pale and fluffy.
6. To eliminate the possibility of egg shells in your recipe, break eggs into a separate container first, then add to the mixture.
7. When mixing egg whites, be sure the bowl and whisk are thoroughly cleaned and dried, as even the smallest amount of oil on the beaters or bowl may cause the egg whites not to aerate.
8. Always start mixing at slow speeds, especially when mixing in flour or icing sugar. Mix these ingredients slowly at first, then gradually increase the speed as required.
9. Do not over beat. Be careful that you only mix/knead mixtures as recommended in your recipe. Fold in dry ingredients until just combined. Always use the low At any stage of mixing, over beating can causetoughness, close texture, lack of rising or excessive shrinkage. Climatic conditions, seasonal temperature changes, temperature of ingredients andtheir texture can vary from area to area. These conditions can all play their part in the required mixing time and results achieved.
10. All recipes have been kitchen tested, but should you find it necessary to vary the ingredients or size of the tin etc. allow for a variation in cooking time. Always ensure that baked foods are correctly cooked before removing them from the oven or cooking appliance.
    Cooking times and temperatures are meant only as a guide. Light mixtures should spring back when lightly touched and heavy mixtures, fruit cake and the like, should be tested with a skewer towards the end of the suggested cooking time. If the skewer is clean when removed, the cake is cooked.

changes of temperature or draught when taking from the oven.
Cakes do not rise| Mostly due to gross over beating, but can also be caused by too hot an oven during the first part of cooking. Check dry ingredients are still within date.
Cakes sink in the centre| Too much fat, raising agent, liquid or sugar; too little flour, under baked.
Slow cooking.| Too much batter for size of pan, too cool an oven, too much sugar, over beating, too much raising agent.
Cakes run over the edges| Too much batter for size of pan, too cool an oven, too much sugar, over beating, too much raising agent.
Hard outer crust| Too much flour, too little sugar, ingredients not fully combined over mixing, too hot an oven.
Moist, sticky outside| Too much sugar, too much fat, over beating, under baking.
Coarse, crumbly texture| Over beating, low baking temperature.
Heavy, close texture| Too much fat or sugar, over mixing, under baking, or too hot an oven.
Fruit sinks| Mixture too soft, damp fruit, too little flour, ingredients not correctly balanced, over beating.
