Put all liquid ingredients in the bowl and then add the dry ingredients. Always stay near the
kitchen machine during use. Always add ingredients as close to the sides of the bowl as
possible and not directly into the rotating tool.
First, put all liquid ingredients in the bowl and then add the dry ingredients. Always stay near
the kitchen machine during use. If the lid is not mounted during whipping etc., start at low
speed until the ingredients are well mixed. This will reduce the risk of the contents splashing
from the bowl. Always add ingredients as close to the sides of the bowl as possible and not
directly into the rotating tool.
When preparing cake mixtures, use speed level 2 for low speed, speed level 4 for medium
speed, and speed level 6 for high speed. To obtain the best results, mixtures should be
processed for the amount of time stated on the package.
Mixtures containing large amounts of liquid must be processed at low speed to avoid
splashing. Increase speed when the mixture has thickened.
For mixing thin types of dough, choose the medium speed. Switch off the kitchen machine
regularly to clean the sides by using a rubber spatula.
Shortcrust pastry is one of the thickest types of dough, but you can make the mixing easier
by:
-
Adding butter or margarine of room temperature
-
Adding the ingredients one at a time and mixing the ingredients well before adding a new
ingredient.
-
Adding one cup of flour at a time.
If there are difficulties in mixing the dough, increase the speed
If by mistake something gets stuck in the tool, or the motor stops, switch off the machine
and remove the plug from the power socket. Solve the problem or reduce the amount in the
bowl. Let the motor cool off for 5 minutes before the kitchen machine is switched on again.
