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

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

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.
