BLENDING TIPS
♦
Gentle up-and-down motion is all you need to make the most flavorful, full-
bodied liquid recipes.
♦
When using with a nonstick cooking surface, be careful not to scratch the
coating with the hand blender.
♦
To avoid splashing, do not turn the hand blender ON until the blade is beneath
the surface of the mixture and do not pull the hand blender out of the mixture
while the blender is running.
♦
Do not put fruit pits, bones, or other hard material into the blending mixture,
as these will damage the blades.
♦
For recipes calling for ice, use crushed ice (not whole cubes) for best results.
♦
When making compound butter, remove the butter from the refrigerator and
let it come to room temperature before blending it in the ingredients.
WHISKING TIPS
♦
When beating egg whites, use a very clean metal or glass bowl. Do not use
a plastic bowl, since plastic can contain hidden oils or fats that can ruin the
delicate egg white foam.
♦
When using the whisk attachment, avoid beating egg whites for too long as
they might dry out and get less stable.
♦
Add sugar to beaten egg whites slowly as the peaks will start to form.
♦
When beating heavy cream, if possible and if time allows, use a chilled bowl
and chill the whisk attachment. The best-shaped bowl for whipping cream is
one that is deep with a rounded bottom. The cream should come out of the
refrigerator just before whipping. Hold the whisk attachment so that it is just
skimming the surface. Whip the cream until the cream begins to thicken, then
immerse the whisk totally into the cream.
♦
Whipped cream may be used at either soft or firm peaks depending on
preference. It may be flavored as desired. For best results, whip cream just
before using.
