• creamed frostings quick breads
• candies meatloaf
• cookies pie pastry mashed potatoes

Wire Whip for mixtures that need air incorporated:

• eggs sponge cakes
• egg whites angel food cakes
• heavy cream mayonnaise
• boiled frostings some candies

Dough Hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs:

• breads coffee cakes
• rolls buns

MIXING TIME
Your KitchenAid® Stand Mixer will mix faster and more thoroughly than most other electric Stand Mixers. Therefore, the mixing time in most traditional and non-packaged recipes must be adjusted to avoid overbeating. With cakes, for example, beating time may be half as long as with other Stand Mixers.

TILT-HEAD STAND MIXER USE

• NOTE: Do not scrape the bowl while the Stand Mixer is operating.
• The bowl and beater are designed to provide thorough mixing without frequent scraping. Scraping the bowl once or twice during mixing is usually sufficient. Turn the unit off before scraping.
• The Stand Mixer may warm up during use. Under heavy loads with extended mixing time, you may not be able to comfortably touch the top of the unit. This is normal.

CARE AND CLEANING

Bowl, white flat beater and white dough hook may be washed in an automatic dishwasher. Or, clean them thoroughly in hot sudsy water and rinse completely before drying. Wire whip should be hand washed and dried immediately. Do not wash the wire whip in a dishwasher. Do not store the beaters on the shaft.

NOTE:
Always be sure to unplug the Stand Mixer before cleaning. Wipe the Stand Mixer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use household or commercial cleaners. Do not immerse in water. Wipe off the beater shaft frequently, removing any residue that may accumulate.

BEATER-TO-BOWL CLEARANCE
Your Stand Mixer is adjusted at the factory so the flat beater just clears the bottom of the bowl. If, for any reason, the flat beater hits the bottom of the bowl or is too far away from the bowl, you can correct the clearance easily.

1. Turn the speed control to OFF.
2. Unplug the stand mixer or disconnect the power.
3. Tilt motor head back.
4. Turn screw (A) SLIGHTLY counterclockwise (left) to raise the flat beater or clockwise (right) to lower the flat beater.
5. Make adjustments so that the flat beater just clears the surface of the bowl. If you over-adjust the screw, you may not be able to lock the motor head when it is lowered.

NOTE:
When properly adjusted, the flat beater will not strike the bottom or side of the bowl. If the flat beater or the wire whip is adjusted so that it strikes the bowl, the coating may wear off the beater, or the wires on the whip may wear.

SPEED CONTROL GUIDE

1. STIR
   For slow stirring, combining, mashing, and starting all mixing procedures. Use to add flour and dry ingredients to batter, add liquids to dry ingredients, and combine heavy mixtures.

2. SLOW MIXING
   For slow mixing, mashing, and faster stirring. Use to mix heavy batters and candies, start mashing potatoes or other vegetables, cut shortening into flour, mix thin or splashy batters, and mix and knead yeast dough. Use with Can Opener attachment.

3. MIXING BEATING
   For mixing semi-heavy batters, such as cookies. Use to combine sugar and shortening and to add sugar to egg whites for meringues. Medium speed for cake mixes. Use with: Food Grinder, Rotor Slicer/Shredder, and Fruit/Vegetable Strainer.

4. BEATING CREAMING
   For medium-fast beating (creaming) or whipping. Use to finish mixing cake, doughnuts, and other batters. High speed for cake mixes. Use with Citrus Juicer attachment.

5. FAST BEATING WHIPPING
   For whipping cream, egg whites, and boiled frostings.

6. FAST WHIPPING
   For whipping small amounts of cream or egg whites. Use with Pasta Maker and Grain Mill attachments.

NOTE:

• Mixer may not maintain fast speeds under heavy load, such as when the Pasta Maker or Grain Mill attachments are used. This is normal.
• The Speed Control Lever can be set between the speeds listed in the above chart to obtain speeds 3, 5, 7, and 9 if a finer adjustment is required.
• Do not exceed Speed 2 when preparing yeast dough. This may damage the mixer.

MIXING TIPS

Converting Your Recipe for the Mixer

• The mixing instructions for recipes in this book can guide you in converting your favourite recipes for preparation with your KitchenAid® Stand Mixer. Look for recipes similar to yours and then adapt your recipes to use the procedures in the similar KitchenAid recipes.
• For example, the “quick mix” method (sometimes referred to as the “dump” method) is ideal for simple cakes, such as the Quick Yellow Cake and Easy White Cake included in this book. This method calls for combining dry ingredients with most or all liquid ingredients in one step.
• More elaborate cakes, such as tortes, should be prepared using the traditional cake-mixing method. With this method, sugar and the shortening, butter, or margarine are thoroughly mixed (creamed) before other ingredients are added.
• For all cakes, mixing times may change because your KitchenAid® Stand Mixer works more quickly than other mixers. In general, mixing a cake with the KitchenAid® Stand Mixer will take about half the time called for in most traditional and non-packaged cake recipes.
• To help determine the ideal mixing time, observe the batter or dough and mix only until it has the desired appearance described in your recipe, such as “smooth and creamy.”
• To select the best mixing speeds, use the Speed Control Guide on page 14.

Adding Ingredients
Always add ingredients as close to the side of the bowl as possible, not directly into the moving beater. The Pouring Shield can be used to simplify adding ingredients.

NOTE:
If the ingredients in the very bottom of the bowl are not thoroughly mixed, then the beater is not far enough into the bowl. See “Beater to Bowl Clearance” on page 13.

Cake Mixes
When preparing packaged cake mixes, use Speed 2 for low speed, Speed 4 for medium speed, and Speed 6 for high speed. For best results, mix for the time stated on the package directions.

Adding Nuts, Raisins, or Candied Fruits
Follow individual recipes for guidelines on including these ingredients. In general, solid materials should be folded in the last few seconds of mixing on Stir Speed. The batter should be thick enough to prevent the fruit or nuts from sinking to the bottom of the pan during baking. Sticky fruits should be dusted with flour for better distribution in the batter.

Liquid Mixtures
Mixtures containing large amounts of liquid ingredients should be mixed at lower speeds to avoid splashing. Increase the mixer speed only after the mixture has thickened.

EGG WHITES
Place room-temperature egg whites in a clean, dry bowl. Attach bowl and wire whip. To avoid splashing, gradually turn to the designated speed and whip to the desired stage. See chart below.

AMOUNT/SPEED

• 1 egg white …GRADUALLY to 10
• 2-4 egg whites…GRADUALLY to 8
• 6+ egg whites…GRADUALLY to 8

1. Whipping Stages
   With your KitchenAid® mixer, egg whites whip quickly. So, watch carefully to avoid overwhipping. This list tells you what to expect.

2. Frothy
   Large, uneven air bubbles.

3. Begins to Hold Shape
   Air bubbles are fine and compact; the product is white.

4. Soft Peak
   Tips of peaks fall over when the wire whip is removed.

5. Almost Stiff
   Sharp peaks form when the wire whip is removed, but whites are actually soft.

6. Stiff but not Dry
   Sharp, stiff peaks form when the wire whip is removed. Whites are uniform in colour and glisten.

7. Stiff and Dry
   Sharp, stiff peaks form when the wire whip is removed. Whites are speckled and dull in appearance.

WHIPPED CREAM
Pour cold whipping cream into a chilled bowl. Attach bowl and wire whip. To avoid splashing, gradually turn to the designated speed and whip to the desired stage. See chart below.

AMOUNT/SPEED

• 1⁄4 cup …………GRADUALLY to 10
• 1⁄2 cup …………GRADUALLY to 10
• 1 cup …………GRADUALLY to 8
• 1 pint …………GRADUALLY to 8

Whipping Stages
Watch the cream closely during whipping. Because your KitchenAid® mixer whips so quickly, there are just a few seconds between whipping stages. Look for these characteristics:

• Begins to Thicken
  The cream is thick and custard-like.

• Holds Its Shape
  The cream forms soft peaks when the wire whip is removed. Can be folded into other ingredients when making desserts and sauces.

• Stiff
  Cream stands in stiff, sharp peaks when the wire whip is removed. Use for topping on cakes or desserts, or filling for cream puffs.

ATTACHMENTS AND ACCESSORIES

General Information
KitchenAid® attachments are designed to ensure long life. The attachment power shaft and hub socket are of a square design, to eliminate any possibility of slipping during the transmission of power to the attachment. The hub and shaft housing are tapered to ensure a snug fit, even after prolonged use and wear. KitchenAid® attachments require no extra power unit to operate them; the power unit is built in.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

To Attach

1. Turn the speed control to OFF.
2. Unplug the mixer or disconnect the power.
3. Loosen the attachment knob by turning it counterclockwise, and remove the attachment hub cover.
4. Insert the attachment shaft housing into the attachment hub, making certain the attachment power shaft fits into the square attachment hub socket. It may be necessary to rotate the attachment back and forth. When the attachment is in the proper position, the pin on the attachment will fit into the notch on the hub rim.
5. Tighten the attachment knob by turning it clockwise until the attachment is completely secured to the mixer.
6. Plug the mixer into a proper electrical outlet.**

To Remove

1. Turn the speed control to OFF.
2. Unplug the mixer or disconnect the power.

**GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING AND KNEADING YEAST DOUGH WITH THE

RAPID MIX METHOD**

“Rapid Mix” describes a bread-baking method that calls for dry yeast to be mixed with other dry ingredients before the liquid is added. In contrast, the traditional method is to dissolve yeast in warm water.

1. Place all dry ingredients including yeast into the bowl, except the last 1 to 2 cups of flour.
2. Attach the bowl and dough hook. Lock the mixer head. Turn to Speed 2 and mix for about 15 seconds, or until the ingredients are combined.
3. Continuing on Speed 2, gradually add the liquid ingredients to the flour mixture and mix for 1 to 2 minutes longer. See A.

NOTE:
If the liquid ingredients are added too quickly, they will form a pool around the dough hook and slow down the mixing process.

1. Continuing on Speed 2, gently add the remaining flour, 1⁄2 cup at a time. See B. Mix until the dough clings to the hook and cleans the sides of the bowl, about 2 minutes.
2. When the dough clings to the hook, knead on Speed 2 for 2 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. See C.
3. Unlock the motor head and tilt it back. Remove the dough from the hook. Follow the directions in the recipe for rising, shaping, and baking.

When using the traditional method to prepare a favourite recipe, dissolve the yeast in warm water in a warm bowl. Add the remaining liquids and dry ingredients, except the 1 to 2 cups flour. Turn to Speed 2 and mix for about 1 minute, or until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Proceed with Steps 4 through 6. Both methods work equally well for bread preparation. However, the “Rapid Mix” method may be a bit faster and easier for new bread bakers. It is slightly more temperature tolerant because the yeast is mixed with dry ingredients, rather than with warm liquid.

BREAD MAKING TIPS
Making bread with a mixer is quite different from making bread by hand. Therefore, it will take some practice before you are completely comfortable with the new process. We recommend you start with an easy recipe, like Basic White Bread, until you become accustomed to making bread the KitchenAid way. The following tips will help:

Tips for Mixing and Kneading

• ALWAYS use the dough hook to mix and knead yeast dough.
• NEVER exceed Speed 2 when using the dough hook.
• NEVER use recipes calling for more than 8 cups of all-purpose flour or 6 cups of whole wheat flour when making dough with a 41⁄2-quart tilt-head mixer.
• NEVER use recipes calling for more than 9 cups of all-purpose flour or 6 cups of whole wheat flour when making dough with a 5-quart tilt-head mixer.
• Most bread recipes give a range for the amount of flour to use. When the dough clings to the hook and cleans the sides of the bowl, enough flour has been added. If the dough is sticky or the humidity is high, slowly add more flour (about 1⁄2 cup at a time), but NEVER exceed the recommended flour capacity. Knead after each addition until the flour is completely worked into the dough. If too much flour is added, a dry loaf will result.
• Some types of dough, especially those made with whole-grain flour, may not form a ball on the hook. However, as long as the hook comes in contact with the dough, kneading will be accomplished.
• Some large recipes and soft doughs may occasionally climb over the collar of the hook. This usually indicates that the dough is sticky and more flour should be added. The sooner all the flour is added, the less likely the dough will climb the hook. For such recipes, try starting with all but the last cup of flour in the initial mixing process. Then add the remaining flour as quickly as possible.
• Use a candy or other kitchen thermometer to ensure that liquids are at the temperature specified in the recipe. Liquids at higher temperatures can kill the yeast, while liquids at lower temperatures will retard yeast growth.
• Warm all ingredients to room temperature to ensure the proper rising of the dough. If the yeast is to be dissolved in the bowl, always warm the bowl first by rinsing it with warm water to prevent cooling of liquids.

BREAD MAKING TIPS

Tips for Shaping a Loaf

• Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into a rectangle, approximately 9×14 inches. A rolling pin will smooth the dough and remove gas bubbles.
• Starting at a short end, roll the dough tightly. Pinch to seal the seam.
• Pinch the ends and turn them under. Place the dough, seam side down, in a loaf pan. Follow the directions in the recipe for rising and baking.

Tips for Successful Rising & Baking

• Allow the bread to rise in a warm place, 80°F to 85°F, free from drafts, unless otherwise specified in the recipe.
• Always cover the bowl with a towel to retain warmth and protect the dough from drafts. If desired, cover the bowl with waxed paper before covering it with a towel.
• Here are some alternative rising methods to use: (1) The bowl containing the dough can be placed on a wire rack over a pan of hot water. (2) The bowl can be placed on the top rack of an unheated oven; put a pan of hot water on the rack below. (3) Turn the oven to 400°F for 1 minute, then turn it off; place the bowl on the centre rack of the oven and close the door.
• Recipe rising times may vary due to the temperature and humidity of your kitchen. If an indentation remains after pressing the tips of your fingers lightly and quickly into the dough, it has doubled in bulk.
• When done, yeast breads and rolls will be deep golden brown. Tapping on the top of the loaf should produce a hollow sound, and the bread should pull away from the sides of the pan easily.
• Turn loaves and rolls onto racks immediately after baking to prevent sogginess.
