Mixing Guide
1. For even and thorough mixing, slowly
guide the beaters around the sides and
through the centre of the bowl in the
same direction. Do not overmix.
2. Always stop the mixer by moving the
speed control switch to the ‘0’ OFF
position before raising the beaters out of
the mixing bowl.
3. When adding ingredients or scraping the
bowl, stop the mixer and rest it on it’s
base with the bowl below the beaters to
catch any mixture draining from the
beaters.
4. When folding dry ingredients into delicate
mixtures such as sponge cake, use Speed
1 on the ‘Low’ setting. Do not overmix.
5. Always start mixing at slow speeds.
Gradually increase to the recommended
speed as stated in the recipe.
Beating Egg Whites
6. Separate the yolk and white carefully
ensuring there is no yolk in the egg
white. If some egg yolk is in the egg
white, use the egg shell to scoop the yolk
out.
7. Best results are achieved when using a
glass or stainless steel mixing bowl. If
using a plastic mixing bowl, rub the
inside of the bowl with
1 /
2
a lemon. (This
helps remove any grease). Then wash and
dry thoroughly.
8. For best result always ensure that the
beaters and mixing bowl are thoroughly
clean and dry.
9. For maximum volume, beat egg whites at
room temperature.
10. Beat egg whites using Speed 5 on the
High range setting. Beating time can vary
depending on the freshness of the eggs.
