1. Before starting, read the recipe
completely.
2. Refrigerated ingredients, ie butter and
eggs should be at room temperature before
mixing begins. Set these ingredients out
ahead of time.
3. Before starting your recipe preheat oven
to baking temperature recommended in
the recipe.
4. Assemble all ingredients and utensils
near the mixer.
5. To eliminate the possibility of shells or
deteriorated/off eggs in your recipe, break
eggs into a separate container first, then
add to the mixture.
6. When mixing egg whites, be sure the
bowls and beaters are thoroughly cleaned
and dried. As even the smallest amount of
oil on beaters or bowl may cause the egg
whites not to aerate.
7. Always start mixing at slow speeds.
Gradually increase to the recommended
speed as stated in the recipe.
8. Do not over beat. Be careful that you only
mix/blend mixtures until the recommended
time specified in your recipe. Fold in
dry ingredients only until just combined.
Always use the low speed. At any stage of
mixing, over beating can cause toughness,
close texture, lack of rising or excessive
shrinkage. Climatic conditions, seasonal
temperature changes, temperature of
ingredients and their texture variation from
area to area all play a part in the required
mixing time and the results achieved.
9. All recipes have been kitchen tested, but
should you find it necessary to vary the
ingredients or the size of the tin etc. allow
for a variation in cooking time. Always
test for doneness in baked foods before
removing from the oven or the cooking
appliance.
10. During mixing, ingredients may splash
to the sides of the bowl. To scrape the
bowl, turn the speed control dial to the
'O' position and using a spatula, scrape
the bowl. NEVER USE A KNIFE, METAL
SPOON OR FORK, as this may cause
damage to the beaters and bowl. A
light scraping after the addition of each
ingredient assists in achieving efficient
mixing.
