TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

MIXING TIME

Your KitchenAid ® Stand Mixer will mix faster and more thoroughly than most other
electric stand mixers. Therefore, the mixing time in most recipes must be adjusted to
avoid over beating. With cakes, for example, beating time may be half as long as with
other stand mixers.
To help determine the ideal mixing time, observe the batter or dough and mix only until
it has the desired appearance described in your recipe, such as "smooth and creamy."
To select the best mixing speeds, use the "Speed Control Guide" section.
MIXER USE
NOTE: Do not scrape bowl while Stand
Mixer is operating.
Adding Ingredients
Always add ingredients as close to side of
bowl as possible, not directly into moving
beater.
Adding Nuts, Raisins, or Candied Fruits
Follow individual recipes for guidelines on
including these ingredients. In general,
solid materials should be folded in the last
few seconds of mixing on STIR Speed. The
batter should be thick enough to keep the
fruit or nuts from sinking to the bottom of
the pan during baking. Sticky fruits should
be dusted with flour for better distribution
in the batter.
Liquid Mixtures
Mixtures containing large amounts of
liquid ingredients should be mixed at
lower speeds to avoid splashing. Increase
speed only after mixture has thickened.
NOTE: If ingredients in very bottom of
bowl are not thoroughly mixed, then the
beater is not far enough into the bowl.
See the "Using the Stand Mixer" section.
