Choosing Attachments
Use the guidelines below to select the best mixing attachments for your mixing task.
When to use the beater:
The beater is used for making cakes,
biscuits, pastries, icing, fillings, éclairs,
cheesecakes, mashed potatoes, and
other medium to heavy mixtures.
When to use the dough hook:
The dough hook is used when kneading
bread doughs and other thick doughs
containing yeast.
When to use the wire whisk:
Use the wire whisk for whisking or mixing
thin mixtures, such as eggs, cream,
batter, meringues, mousses, and soufflés.
Do not use the wire whisk for heavy
mixtures such as creaming fat and
sugar—it could damage the whisk.
