quickly, there are just a few seconds between whipping stages�

MIXING TIPS

Mixing time
Your KitchenAid Stand Mixer will mix
faster and more thoroughly than most
other electric mixers� Therefore, the
mixing time in most recipes must be
adjusted to avoid over beating�
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�
Adding ingredients
The standard procedure to follow when
mixing most batters, especially cake and
cookie batters, is to add:
1/3 dry ingredients
1/2 liquid ingredients
1/3 dry ingredients

SPEED
GRADUALLY to 10
GRADUALLY to 8
Use Speed 1 until ingredients have been
blended� Then gradually increase to
desired speed�
Always add ingredients as close to side of
bowl as possible, not directly into moving
beater� The pouring shield can be used to
simplify adding ingredients�
NOTE: If ingredients in very bottom
of bowl are not thoroughly mixed, the
beater is not far enough into the bowl�
See the "Beater to bowl clearance"
section�
Cake mixes
When preparing packaged cake mixes, use
Speed 4 for medium speed and Speed 6
for high speed� For best results, mix for the
time stated on the package directions�
Adding nuts, raisins, or candied fruits
Solid materials should be folded in the last
few seconds of mixing on Speed 1� 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�
