ENGLISH TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS MIXING TIME Your KitchenAid® Stand Mixer will mix faster and more thoroughly than most other electric stand mixers. Therefore, the mixing time in most recipes must be adjusted to avoid over-beating. With cakes, for example, beating time may be half as long as with other stand mixers. To help determine the ideal mixing time, observe the batter or dough and mix only until it has the desired appearance described in your recipe, such as "smooth and creamy." To select the best mixing speeds, use the "Speed control guide" section. MIXER USE NOTE: Do not scrape bowl while Stand Mixer is operating. Adding Ingredients Always add ingredients as close to side of bowl as possible, not directly into moving beater. Adding Nuts, Raisins, or Candied Fruits Follow individual recipes for guidelines on including these ingredients. In general, solid materials should be folded in the last few seconds of mixing on STIR Speed. The batter should be thick enough to keep the fruit or nuts from sinking to the bottom of the pan during baking. Sticky fruits should be dusted with flour for better distribution in the batter. Liquid Mixtures Mixtures containing large amounts of liquid ingredients should be mixed at lower speeds to avoid splashing. Increase speed only after mixture has thickened. NOTE: If ingredients in very bottom of bowl are not thoroughly mixed, then the beater is not far enough into the bowl. See the "Using the Stand Mixer" section. TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS | 9
