straight away.

hints
●
The fold function
can be used for folding light ingredients into
heavier mixtures for example meringues, mousses, fruit fools,
Genoese sponges and souffles, and to slowly incorporate flour and
fruit into cake mixtures. The mixer will operate at a constant slow
speed.
●
Eggs at room temperature are best for whisking.
●
Before whisking egg whites, make sure there’s no grease or egg
yolk on the whisk or bowl.
●
Use cold ingredients for pastry unless your recipe states otherwise.
●
When creaming fat and sugar for cake mixes, always use the
fat at room temperature or soften it first.
