TIPS & TRICKS

• Your Stand Mixer works best with small batches. Too much mix will negatively affect the performance of the Mixer.
• Certain doughs and batters may get stuck against the sides or wrapped around the Beaters. Use the Bowl Shift Lever to help solve this problem.
• The Mixing Bowl is designed specifically for this product. Do not attempt to use another mixing bowl.
• There is a Left and Right Beater and Dough Hook. They must be inserted into the Left and Right Beater Shafts respectively.
• Do not use the Mixer on any setting for more than 10 minutes at a time as the motor may overheat. Allow motor to cool between consecutive uses.
• Your Mixer should only be used to mix soft ingredients such as flour, cream, eggs, or creamy liquids. To avoid damaging your Mixer, do not attempt to mix hard ingredients.

SETTINGS

BEATERS

USAGE: Only use for liquids. Great for sauces, creams, and meringues, or any other liquid mixtures. Some recipes may require you to start mixing with Beaters then switch to Dough Hooks once dry ingredients are added.

DOUGH HOOKS

USAGE: Use for non-liquid mixes. Great for butters, batters, doughs, frostings, mashed potatoes and mousse or any other non-liquid mixture. Some recipes may require you to start mixing with Beaters then switch to Dough Hooks once dry ingredients are added.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Clean your Mixer thoroughly before using. Make sure to turn your Mixer to the "0" or (OFF) setting before unplugging and cleaning. Both the Mixing Bowl and Beaters are dishwasher safe. After each use, the Mixer should be cleaned properly.

Do not submerge the motor in water or any liquid. The Main Base is not dishwasher safe.

DISASSEMBLY AND CLEANING

1. Turn the Mixer to the "0" (Off) setting before unplugging and cleaning.
2. Tilt the Motor Head upwards and press the Eject Button to remove Beaters.
3. Turn the Mixing Bowl counterclockwise until it detaches from the Main Base.
4. Wash both Mixing Bowl and Beaters in warm, soapy water.

TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Ingredients:

• 2 large Russet potatoes
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 slices bacon, chopped
• 2 tbsp chives, chopped
• ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
• 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese salt and coarse black pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Using a vegetable brush, scrub the potatoes clean under running water. Poke each potato several times with a fork to vent. Rub them with a little olive oil. Place directly on the middle or top rack of the oven.
2. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through so that they give a little when pressed. If you are short on time, you may bake the potatoes in the microwave (10 minutes on high heat for 2 potatoes).
3. Place a small non-stick fry pan over medium-high heat. Cook chopped bacon until crispy and slightly brown. Transfer bacon bits to a paper plate to drain off excess fat.
4. Turn on broiler to high. Cut baked and slightly cooled potatoes in half and scoop out the cooked potato into the Mixing Bowl. Set potato skins aside. Add the sour cream (or Greek Yogurt), cheddar cheese, bacon, chives, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth. For a smoother texture you may add more sour cream.
5. Stuff the hollowed-out potato skins with the mixture and place on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle a little cheese on top. Brown the potatoes under the broiler for 3 to 5 minutes.
6. Garnish with sour cream, chives and top with bacon if desired.

CHOCOLATE SOUFFLE

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup sugar
• 3 eggs, separated
• 2 oz good quality bittersweet chocolate (melted) pinch of salt
• ¼ tsp cream of tartar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Prepare a soufflé dish by coating it with melted butter or cooking spray. Sprinkle a thin layer of sugar over the dish, turn it upside down, and lightly tap to remove any excess sugar.
2. Using the Stand Mixer, beat egg yolks with all but 1 tablespoon sugar until very light and very thick (note: the mixture will fall in a ribbon from Beaters when ready). Mix in the melted chocolate until well incorporated. Wash the Beaters well.
3. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with salt and cream of tartar until egg whites form soft peaks. Continue to beat, gradually adding the remaining tablespoon of sugar, until the peaks are very stiff and glossy. Thoroughly stir a heaping spoonful of whites into the chocolate egg yolk mixture to lighten it. Using a rubber spatula, fold in remaining whites. Transfer mixture to prepared soufflé dish. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to bake.
4. Bake until center is nearly set (25 to 35 minutes for a single large soufflé). Serve immediately.
5. NOTE: Do not open the oven during baking or the soufflé will fall.

CINNAMON SUGAR COFFEE CAKE

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 ¾ cups flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 4 tbsp butter, cut into chunks
• 1 egg
• ½ cup milk
• 1 tbsp sugar mixed with 1 ½ tsp cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter an 8" square pan or loaf pan and sprinkle with flour. Set the Mixer on low speed and combine sugar, flour, and baking powder. Cut the butter into ½ inch chunks and add to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed until the batter resembles cornmeal. Add the egg and milk and blend.
2. Spoon batter into the pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top and bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the bread comes out clean.

PIZZA DOUGH

• 3 cups flour, divided
• ¾ tsp yeast
• 2 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 ½ cups cold water

Directions:

1. Mix half the flour and the rest of the dry ingredients in the Mixer, using the Beaters. Pour in the cold water while the Mixer is on low and blend for 1 minute. Add the rest of the flour and mix together.
2. Replace the beaters with the Dough Hooks and mix on medium-high for 2 1-minute sessions. Remove bowl from Mixer. Leaving the dough in the bowl, cover the Mixing Bowl with a damp paper towel and leave on counter for at least an hour.
3. Punch down dough and roll out to fit a pizza or jelly roll pan. Cover pan with parchment paper or thin later of cooking spray or olive oil. Place dough on pan and use a fork to pierce evenly across the surface of the dough.
