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 and cream cheese
combine more thoroughly when at room
temperature.
• Remove butter for recipe first and cut
into ½-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 at similar room
temperature. While the Tasty

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.
• To separate eggs for any recipe, break one
at a time into a small bowl, gently remove
yolk, then transfer egg white to spotlessly
clean mixing bowl. If a yolk breaks into the
egg white, reserve that egg for another
use. Just a drop of egg yolk will prevent
the whites from whipping properly.
• To achieve the highest 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.
