Cookery tips for best results

1. B efore starting any recipe carefully read it
through from beginning to end.
2. E nsure you have all ingredients and
utensils before you start.
3. R efrigerated ingredients such as butter,
cream cheese and eggs should be at
room temperature for best results (unless
otherwise specified). Set these out ahead
of time.
4. A lways preheat oven to baking temperature
recommended in the recipe.
5. B reak eggs into a small bowl before
adding to mixture. This eliminates the
chance of contaminating mixture with
shells or rotten eggs.
6. T o obtain the greatest volume when
beating egg whites, be sure the bowls
and beaters are completely clean and
dry before use. The smallest amount of
grease or water can prevent the whites
from aerating.
7. A lways start mixing at slow speeds,
gradually increasing to the recommended
speed.
8. D o not over beat. Be careful that you
only mix/blend mixtures for the specified
time. When folding, do so until just
combined. Over beating or mixing
can cause toughness, close texture,
excessive shrinkage or effect rising.
Climatic conditions, seasonal temperature
changes, temperature of ingredients and
their texture variation all play a part in
the required mixing time and the results
achieved.
9. A ll recipes have been carefully developed
and tested, but should you find it
necessary to alter the ingredients or tin,
you must allow for a variation in cooking
time. Always test for doneness in baked
goods before removing from oven or other
cooking appliance.
10. D uring mixing, ingredients may splash
to the sides of the bowl. Turn the speed
control dial to the 'O' position and use
a rubber or plastic spatula to scrape the
bowl. NEVER USE A KNIFE, METAL
SPOON OR FORK, as these can damage
the beaters and bowl. A light scraping
after the addition of each ingredient
assists in achieving efficient mixing.
