BEATING AND WHISKING

tipping a bowl at a safe angle,
even more air can get into the
mixture, resulting in light
mixtures and increased volume
•
W W h h e e n n m m a a k k i i n n g g s s a a u u c c e e s s , immerse
the beaters into the liquid in the
pan – but always away from the
heat source – and run on a low
speed to beat away any lumps
•
W W h h i i s s k k e e d d e e g g g g w w h h i i t t e e s s provide the
base for soufflés, mousses and all
types of meringues. Use the
balloon whisk.
The mixing bowl must be spotless
as a speck of grease will stop egg
white from holding air, so. Rub
the bowl with a cut lemon if you
have any doubts.
Start slowly and only use a faster
speed pulses when the mixture
starts to turn white.
