STAND MIXER TIPS
GENERAL MIXING TIPS
- Place liquid ingredients into bowl first and then add dry ingredients.
- Always stay near stand mixer during use.
- To begin mixing, use the lower speed settings until the ingredients are thoroughly combined. This will reduce splattering.
- Always add ingredients as close to the sides of the bowl as possible, not directly into the moving attachment.
- Mixtures containing large amounts of liquid ingredients should be mixed at lower speeds to avoid splashing. Increase speed only after the mixture has thickened.
- When mixing thin batters, use medium speeds and frequently stop the mixer to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
- Ensure butter or margarine is at room temperature before adding to the mixer.
- Add ingredients one at a time, thoroughly mixing after each addition.
- Add flour a bit at a time.
- If a spoon or other tool is accidentally caught in an attachment or the motor stalls, turn the speed control to OFF ( ), then unplug.
EGG WHITES
Place egg whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl. Attach bowl and whisk. To avoid splashing, gradually turn speed control to desired speed. See chart below.
AMOUNT | SETTING |
---|---|
2 to 8 egg whites | up to 10 |
10 or more egg whites | up to 8 |
Your stand mixer beats egg whites quickly. Watch it carefully to avoid overbeating. Here is what to expect:
Frothy: Large, uneven air bubbles.
Begins to hold shape: Air bubbles are fine and compact; product is white.
Soft peaks: Tips of peaks fall over when the whisk is removed.
Almost stiff: Sharp peaks form when whisk is removed, but whites are
still soft.
Stiff but not dry: Sharp, stiff peaks form when whisk is removed. Whites
are uniform in colour and glisten.
Stiff and dry: Sharp, stiff peaks form when whisk is removed. Whites are
specked and dull in appearance.
WHIPPED CREAM
Pour cold whipping cream into chilled bowl. Attach bowl and whisk. To avoid
splashing, gradually turn to designated speed and whip to desired thickness.
See chart below.
AMOUNT | SETTING |
---|---|
up to 946 ml (2 pints) | up to 10 |
946+ ml (2+ pints) | up to 8 |
Your stand mixer whips cream very quickly. Watch cream closely during whipping because there are just a few seconds between whipping stages. Look for these characteristics:
Begins to thicken: Cream is thick and custard-like.
Holds its shape: Cream forms soft peaks when whisk is removed. Can be
folded into other ingredients when making desserts and sauces.
Stiff: Cream stands in stiff, sharp peaks when whisk is removed. Use for
topping on cakes or desserts, or filling for cream puffs.
Care recommendations
WARNING : Electric shock hazard. Do not immerse mixer, cable or plug in water or any other liquid.
BEFORE CLEANING
- Make sure stand mixer is unplugged and speed control is set to OFF .
- Remove the attachment by pushing it upwards into the attachment coupling. Turn the attachment anti-clockwise until it unlocks. Pull down and remove.
CLEANING|
---|---
Base, control panel, lead| Wipe with a damp cloth or sponge. Do not use
abrasive or corrosive cleaners.
Bowl| For best results, we recommend hand-washing the bowl. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
Flat beater, dough hook, whisk, splash/ pouring shield| These items can be
washed in a dishwasher.
NOTE: The splash/pouring shield is dishwasher-safe, in the top rack only. DO NOT use the high temperature/intensive setting when washing in the dishwasher. A high temperature/intensive cycle could damage the product. Parts may also be washed with hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Troubleshooting
Food is not mixed.
- Place liquid ingredients in the bowl before adding dry ingredients.
- Stop stand mixer and scrape sides of bowl.
- Increase speed.
Food splatters during mixing.
- Mixtures containing large amounts of liquid ingredients should be mixed at lower speeds to avoid splashing. Increase speed only after the mixture has thickened.
Stand mixer ‘walks’ (moves) on worktop during mixing.
- Reduce speed.
- Reduce quantity of ingredients in bowl.
- Make sure worktop is clean. This allows the mixer feet to grip the worktop and reduce stand mixer movement.
Stand mixer shuts off during use.
- There is a 30-minute auto shut-off feature.
- Stand mixer has overheated. Turn off, unplug and wait for 15 minutes before using.
- Mixing implements have become obstructed. Turn off, unplug and remove obstruction.
