This will reduce splattering. • Always add ingredients as close to the sides of the bowl as possible, not directly into the moving attachment. • When preparing package cake mixes, use Speed 1 for low speed, Speed 4 for medium speed, and Speed 7 for high speed. For best results, mix for the time stated on the package directions. • Mixtures containing large amounts of liquid ingredients should be mixed at lower speeds to avoid splashing. Increase speed only after the mixture has thickened. • When mixing thin batters, use medium speeds and frequently stop the mixer to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula. 6
