Whipping Stages
With your KitchenAid ® Stand Mixer, egg
whites whip quickly. So, watch carefully
to avoid overwhipping. This list tells you
what to expect.
Frothy
Large, uneven air bubbles.
Begins to Hold Shape
Air bubbles are fine and compact; product
is white.
Soft Peak
Tips of peaks fall over when wire whip is
removed.
Almost Stiff
Sharp peaks form when wire whip is
removed, but whites are actually soft.
Stiff but not Dry
Sharp, stiff peaks form when wire whip is
removed. Whites are uniform in color and
glisten.
Stiff and Dry
Sharp, stiff peaks form when wire whip is
removed. Whites are speckled and dull in
appearance.
Whipped Cream
Pour cold whipping cream into chilled bowl.
Attach bowl and wire whip. To avoid
splashing, gradually turn to designated
speed and whip to desired stage. See
chart below.
AMOUNT SPEED
59 ml ( 1 ⁄ 4 cup) .............. GRADUALLY to 10
118 ml ( 1 ⁄ 2 cup) ............ GRADUALLY to 10
236 ml (1 cup)............... GRADUALLY to 8
472 ml (1 pint ) ............. GRADUALLY to 8
Whipping Stages
Watch cream closely during whipping.
Because your KitchenAid
® Stand Mixer
whips so quickly, 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 wire whip
is removed. Can be folded into other
ingredients when making desserts and
sauces.
Stiff
Cream stands in stiff, sharp peaks when
wire whip is removed. Use for topping
on cakes or desserts, or filling for cream
puffs.
