Mixing Tips
• Always r ead entire r ecipe and measure all
ingredients befor e beginning the mixing
process.
• For best r esults, do not measure flour
directly fr om the bag. Pour into a contain-
er or bowl, scoop out the flour and level
with the back of a knife or spatula. For
flour stored in a container , stir before
measuring.
• Eggs, butter and cr eam cheese combine
more thor oughly at room temperatur e.
• Remove butter for r ecipe from r efrigerator
first and cut into ½-inch pieces, then
measure out r emaining ingredients for r ec-
ipe. This will hasten the warming process.
Do not warm butter for baking in a micro-
wave unless instructed to do so.
Microwaving can melt butter; melted but-
ter will change the final product.
• The best cheesecakes ar e made when
the eggs and cream cheese ar e at a
similar room temperatur e. While the

PLUS Hand
Mixer can easily mix cold cream cheese,
the trick is not to add too much air, which
can cause cracking.
• For best r esults, use heavy cream, cold
from the r efrigerator, for whipped cr eam.
• Chocolate chips, nuts, raisins, etc. can be
added using speeds 1 or 2 of your hand
mixer.
• To separate eggs for any recipe, br eak
one at a time into a small bowl, gently
remove yolk, then transfer egg white to
spotlessly clean mixing bowl. If a yolk
breaks into the egg white, r eserve that
egg for another use. Just a drop of egg
yolk will prevent the whites fr om whipping
properly .
• To achieve the highest volume of egg
whites, the mixing bowl and chef’s whisk
attachment or beaters must be spotlessly
clean and free of any fat, oil, etc. For best
results, use a spotlessly clean stainless
steel or glass mixing bowl. If available,
use a copper mixing bowl. (Plastic bowls
are not r ecommended for whipping egg
whites.) The presence of any trace
of fat or oil will prevent the egg whites
from incr easing in volume. Wash bowl
and attachments thoroughly befor e
beginning again.
• Occasionally ingr edients may stick to the
sides of the mixing bowl. When this
occurs, turn mixer of f and scrape the
sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
Note: All r ecipes are mixed with beaters or
dough hooks unless recipe specifies using
chef’s whisk.
