Recipes - MAGIMIX C 3200 Instructions For Use Manual

Eggs are sold in four different sizes, with medium eggs weighing 53-63g. For recipes
where the egg whites are to be beaten, bring them up to room temperature first. Eggs
must be fresh if they are to be eaten raw in mousses, etc. If you are using them for
home baking (e.g. meringues, macaroons), it is a good idea to separate them 2-3
days beforehand, storing the yolks and whites in separate airtight containers in the
fridge. For egg whites to whisk properly, your bowl must be clean, with no traces of fat.
2. Be prepared!
The following pieces of equipment always come in useful:
Measurement instruments: precise electronic kitchen scale (range:
from 2g to 2kg) is vital, as is a cooking thermometer that can measure
temperatures of up to 200 °C.
Baking tins: it is important to use a baking tin of the right shape, the right
quality and made from the right material. We specify which kind of tin
is required for each recipe.
Cakemaking accessories: cutters of different sizes, to vary the
presentation of cakes and pastries.
A piping bag is vital for filling cream puffs and eclairs, as well as
making meringues or macaroons.
You will need a rolling pin for rolling your pastry out and a brush for
buttering your tins and painting egg wash on your bread and brioche.
3. Precision
In some recipes, especially those for bread and cakes, the instructions must be followed
to the letter. Always weigh or measure the ingredients out carefully and respect the
kneading, resting and baking times.
4. Cooking - the grand finale
How well do you know your oven? The success of your recipe may well depend on it,
as the temperatures and cooking times in our recipes are merely there to guide you.
These times may vary according to your oven, but will also depend on how finely the
ingredients have been chopped. It will also depend on the size and material of the
recipient. This is why we recommend you keep a close eye on the baking process and
be ready to adjust the cooking time, if necessary.
Avoid opening the oven door while your dish is cooking.
