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

Begins to Hold Shape

removed, but whites are actually soft.

Whipping Stages
Watch 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
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.
