Cleaning Your Mixer
• Use the dough hook on settings 2-4
to knead yeast bread recipes.
• For optimum mixer performance,
single loaf recipes are recommended.
• Bread can be shaped into any shape
and baked in almost any pan. The
only thing this affects is the baking
time.
• When yeast is dissolved in warm
water, the water temperature should
be 105° to 115°F. This is usually very
warm tap water.
• Bread rises best in a moist, warm
environment. For a perfect place to
raise bread, place bread in a micro-
wave oven or regular oven with a pan
of steaming water. Do not turn oven
on, but close the door.
• Knead yeast bread dough until the
dough has a satin appearance.
• The dough hook is designed with
a weighted balance on the lip to
enhance kneading performance.
Dough Hook Tips
Flat Beater Tips
• Use the flat beater attachment to mix
cakes, cookie dough, fudge, and
potatoes. Cookie dough is one of the
thickest doughs to mix. Make it easi-
er by following these tips:
• Have butter or margarine at room
temperature.
• Add ingredients one at a time, thor-
oughly mixing after each addition.
• Add flour one cup at a time.
• If the mixer seems to struggle,
increase the setting.
Wire Whisk Tips
• A whisk is designed to whip liquids,
such as egg whites and cream. Do
not use the whisk for mixing thick
mixtures such as dough or fudge.
• Your mixer is designed to whisk a
minimum of 2 large egg whites or 1
cup of cream. Mixer performance is
enhanced as the tip of the whisk is
immersed into the liquid. If smaller
quantities are needed, a hand mixer
is recommended.
