QUICK REFERENCE CHART Mixing Techniques The PowerSelectTM Mixer should always be set on the lowest speed when you start mixing. Speed 1 · Start mixing most ingredients together · Combine dry ingredients · Cream butter and sugar to mix · Mix heavy cookie doughs · Mash potatoes/squash · Add nuts, chips, dried fruit to doughs and batters · Add flour to batters, or liquids to dry ingredients · Start mixing frostings · Start mixing cake mixes Speed 2 · Add eggs to batters/doughs · Start to whip potatoes/squash · Mix pudding batters Speed 3 · Complete beating cake mixes · Mix scratch cake batters · Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy · Complete mixing frostings · Whip potatoes/squash · Beat whole eggs/yolks · Start whipping cream Speed 4 · Complete whipping cream Speed 5 · Whip egg whites · Whip butter or cream cheese to light and fluffy consistency for dips and spreads RECIPES Mixing Tips · Always read entire recipe and measure all ingredients before beginning the mixing process. · For best results, do not measure flour directly from the bag. Pour into a container 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 or cream cheese combine more thoroughly at room temperature. · Remove butter for recipe first and cut into 1/2-inch pieces, then measure out remaining ingredients for recipe. This will hasten the warming process. Do not warm butter for baking in a microwave unless instructed to do so. Microwaving can melt butter; melted butter will change the final product. · The best cheesecakes are made when the eggs and cream cheese are a similar room temperature. While Larger Hole Collar 4 04cu13061_chm5_ib 7/16/04 3:52 PM Page 5 the Cuisinart® hand mixer can easily mix cold cream cheese, the trick is not to add too much air, which can cause cracking. · For best results, use heavy cream, cold from the refrigerator, for whipped cream. · For best results, whip egg whites in a spotlessly clean stainless steel or glass mixing bowl. If available, use a copper mixing bowl. Chocolate chips, nuts, raisins, etc. can be added using speeds 1 or 2 of your hand mixer. · To separate eggs for any recipe, break them one at a time into a small bowl, gently remove yolks, then transfer egg whites to spotlessly clean mixing bowl. If a yolk breaks into the egg white, reserve that one for another use. Just a drop of egg yolk in the white will prevent the whites from whipping properly. · To achieve the best volume when whipping egg whites, the mixing bowl and beaters must be spotlessly clean and free of any fat, oil, etc. (Plastic bowls are not recommended for whipping egg whites.) The presence of any trace of fat or oil will prevent the egg whites from increasing in volume. Wash bowl and attachments thoroughly before beginning again. · Occasionally ingredients may stick to the sides of the mixing bowl. When this occurs, turn mixer off and scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. SWEETS Cinnamon Muffins These tasty muffins are just right for a holiday bread basket.
