Mixing Time
Your KitchenAid
®
Stand Mixer will mix
faster and more thoroughly than
most other electric Stand Mixers.
Therefore, the mixing time in most
recipes must be adjusted to avoid
overbeating. With cakes, for example,
beating time may be half as long as
with other Stand Mixers.
Mixer Use
NOTE: Do not scrape bowl while
Stand Mixer is operating.
The bowl and beater are designed to
provide thorough mixing without
frequent scraping. Scraping the bowl
once or twice during mixing is usually
sufficient. Turn unit off before
scraping.
The Stand Mixer may warm up during
use. Under heavy loads with extended
mixing time, you may not be able to
comfortably touch the top of the
unit. This is normal.
WARNING
Injury Hazard
Unplug mixer before touching
beaters.
Failure to do so can result in
broken bones, cuts or bruises.
10
Bowl, white flat beater and white
spiral dough hook may be washed in
an automatic dishwasher. Or, clean
them thoroughly in hot sudsy water
and rinse completely before drying.
Wire whip, burnished spiral dough
hook and burnished flat beater
should be hand washed and dried
immediately. Do not wash wire whip,
burnished spiral dough hook and
burnished flat beater in a dishwasher.
Do not store beaters on shaft.
Care and Cleaning
1. Unplug Stand Mixer.
2. Place bowl lift handle in down
position.
3. Attach flat beater.
4. Adjust so flat beater just clears
bottom surface of bowl when in
lifted position by turning screw (A)
clockwise to raise the bowl and
counterclockwise to lower the
bowl. Just a slight turn is all that is
required: the screw will not rotate
more than
1
⁄4 turn (90 degrees) in
either direction. (The full range of
adjustment is
1
⁄
2 turn, or 180
degrees.)
5. Place bowl lift handle in up
position to check clearance.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 if necessary.
NOTE: When properly adjusted, the
flat beater will not strike on the
bottom or side of the bowl. If the flat
beater or the wire whip is so close
that it strikes the bottom of the
bowl, coating may wear off the
beater or wires on whip may wear.
Beater to Bowl Clearance
Your Stand Mixer is adjusted at the factory so the flat beater just clears the
bottom of the bowl. If, for any reason, the flat beater hits the bottom of the
bowl or is too far away from the bowl, you can correct the clearance easily.
NOTE: Always be sure to unplug
Stand Mixer before cleaning. Wipe
Stand Mixer with a soft, damp cloth.
Do not use household/commercial
cleaners. Do not immerse in water.
Wipe off beater shaft frequently,
removing any residue that may
accumulate.

11
Speed Control Guide – 10 Speed Mixers
All speeds have the Soft Start™ feature which automatically starts the Stand
Mixer at a lower speed to help prevent ingredient splash-out and “flour puff” at
startup then quickly increases to the selected speed for optimal performance.
Number of Speed
Stir
Speed STIR For slow stirring, combining, mashing,
starting all mixing procedures. Use to
add flour and dry ingredients to batter,
and add liquids to dry ingredients. Do
not use STIR speed to mix or knead
yeast doughs.
2 SLOW MIXING For slow mixing, mashing, faster
stirring. Use to mix and knead yeast
doughs, heavy batters and candies,
start mashing potatoes or other
vegetables, cut shortening into flour,
mix thin or splashy batters. Use with
Can Opener attachment.
4 MIXING, For mixing semi-heavy batters, such as
BEATING cookies. Use to combine sugar and
shortening and to add sugar to egg
whites for meringues. Medium speed for
cake mixes. Use with: Food Grinder,
Rotor Slicer/Shredder, Pasta Roller, and
Fruit/Vegetable Strainer.
6 BEATING, For medium fast beating (creaming) or
CREAMING whipping. Use to finish mixing cake,
doughnut, and other batters. High speed
for cake mixes. Use with Citrus Juicer
attachment.
8 FAST BEATING, For whipping cream, egg whites, and
WHIPPING boiled frostings.
10 FAST WHIPPING For whipping small amounts of cream,
egg whites or for final whipping of
mashed potatoes. Use with Pasta Maker
and Grain Mill attachments.
NOTE: Will not maintain fast speeds
under heavy loads, such as when using
Pasta Maker or Grain Mill attachments.
Use Speed 2 to mix or knead yeast doughs. Use of any other speed creates
high potential for unit failure. The PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook efficiently
kneads most yeast dough within 4 minutes.

Mixing Tips
Converting Your Recipe
for the Mixer
The mixing instructions for recipes in
this book can guide you in converting
your own favorite recipes for
preparation with your KitchenAid
®
Stand Mixer. Look for recipes similar
to yours and then adapt your recipes
to use the procedures in the similar
KitchenAid
®
recipes.
For example, the “quick mix”
method (sometimes referred to as the
“dump” method) is ideal for simple
cakes, such as the Quick Yellow Cake
and Easy White Cake included in this
book. This method calls for
combining dry ingredients with most
or all liquid ingredients in one step.
More elaborate cakes, such as
Caramel Walnut Banana Torte,
should be prepared using the
traditional cake mixing method. With
this method, sugar and the
shortening, butter or margarine are
thoroughly mixed (creamed) before
other ingredients are added.
For all cakes, mixing times may
change because your KitchenAid
®
Stand Mixer works more quickly than
other mixers. In general, mixing a
cake with the KitchenAid
®
Stand
Mixer will take about half the time
called for in most cake recipes.
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 on
pages 11 and 13.
Adding Ingredients
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,
then the beater is not far enough into
the bowl. See “Beater to Bowl
Clearance,” page 10.
Cake Mixes
When preparing packaged cake
mixes, use Speed 2 for low speed,
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
Follow individual recipes for
guidelines on including these
ingredients. In general, solid materials
should be folded in the last few
seconds of mixing on STIR Speed. The
batter should be thick enough to
prevent 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.
Liquid Mixtures
Mixtures containing large amounts of
liquid ingredients should be mixed at
lower speeds to avoid splashing.
Increase speed only after mixture has
thickened.
13
Egg Whites
Place room temperature egg whites in
clean, dry bowl. Attach bowl and wire
whip. To avoid splashing, gradually
turn to designated speed and whip to
desired stage. See chart below.
AMOUNT SPEED
1 egg white .......GRADUALLY to 10
2-4 egg whites........GRADUALLY to 8
6 or more
egg whites........GRADUALLY to 8
Whipping Stages
With your KitchenAid
®
Stand Mixer,
egg whites whip quickly. So, watch
carefully to avoid overwhipping. This
list tells you what to expect.
Frothy
Large, uneven air bubbles.
Begins to Hold Shape
Air bubbles are fine and compact;
product is white.
Soft Peak
Tips of peaks fall over when wire
whip is removed.
Almost Stiff
Sharp peaks form when wire whip is
removed, but whites are actually soft.
Stiff but not Dry
Sharp, stiff peaks form when wire
whip is removed. Whites are uniform
in color and glisten.
Stiff and Dry
Sharp, stiff peaks form when wire
whip is removed. Whites are speckled
and dull in appearance.
Whipped Cream
Pour cold whipping cream into chilled
bowl. Attach bowl and wire whip. To
avoid splashing, gradually turn to
designated speed and whip to desired
stage. See chart below.
AMOUNT SPEED
1
⁄4
cup (50 mL)........GRADUALLY to 10
1
⁄2
cup (125 mL) .....GRADUALLY to 10
1 cup (250 mL)........GRADUALLY to 8
1 pint (500 mL).......GRADUALLY to 8
Whipping Stages
Watch cream closely during
whipping. Because your KitchenAid
®
Stand Mixer whips so quickly, there
are just a few seconds between
whipping stages. Look for these
characteristics:
Begins to Thicken
Cream is thick and custard-like.
Holds its Shape
Cream forms soft peaks when wire
whip is removed. Can be folded into
other ingredients when making
desserts and sauces.
Stiff
Cream stands in stiff, sharp peaks
when wire whip is removed. Use for
topping on cakes or desserts, or filling
for cream puffs.

“Rapid Mix” describes a bread baking
method that calls for dry yeast to be
mixed with other dry ingredients
before liquid is added. In contrast,
the traditional method is to dissolve
yeast in warm water.
1. Place all dry ingredients including
yeast into bowl, except last 1 to
2 cups flour.
2. Attach bowl and PowerKnead™
Spiral Dough Hook. Raise mixer
bowl. Turn to Speed 2 and mix
about 15 seconds, or until
ingredients are combined.
3. Continuing on Speed 2, gradually
add liquid ingredients to flour
mixture and mix 1 to 2 minutes
longer. See Illustration A.
NOTE: If liquid ingredients are added
too quickly, they will form a pool
around the PowerKnead™ Spiral
Dough Hook and slow down mixing
process.
4. Continuing on Speed 2, gently
add remaining flour,
1
⁄2 cup at a
time. See Illustration B. Mix until
dough starts to clean sides of
bowl, about 2 minutes.
5. Knead on Speed 2 for 2 more
minutes, or until dough is smooth
and elastic. See Illustration C.
6. Lower bowl on mixer and remove
dough from the bowl and
PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook.
Follow directions in recipe for
rising, shaping and baking.
When using the traditional method
to prepare a favorite recipe, dissolve
yeast in warm water in warmed
bowl. Add remaining liquids and dry
ingredients, except last 1 to 2 cups
flour. Turn to Speed 2 and mix about
1 minute, or until ingredients are
thoroughly mixed. Proceed with Steps
4 through 6.
Both methods work equally well for
bread preparation. However, the
“Rapid Mix” method may be a bit
faster and easier for new bread
bakers. It is slightly more temperature
tolerant because the yeast is mixed
with dry ingredients rather than with
warm liquid.

YEAST BREADS AND QUICK BREADS

Bread Making Tips
Making bread with a mixer is quite
different from making bread by hand.
Therefore, it will take some practice
before you are completely
comfortable with the new process.
For your convenience, we offer these
tips to help you become accustomed
to bread making the KitchenAid
®
brand way.
•Start out with an easy recipe, like
Basic White Bread, page 56, until
you are familiar with using the
PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook.
•ALWAYS use the PowerKnead™
Spiral Dough Hook to mix and
knead yeast doughs.
•Use Speed 2 to mix or knead yeast
doughs. Use of any other speed
creates high potential for unit
failure.
•NEVER use recipes calling for more
than 14 cups all-purpose flour or
8 cups whole wheat flour when
making dough with a 6 quart
mixer.
•NEVER use recipes calling for more
than 12 cups all-purpose flour or
6 cups whole wheat flour when
making dough with a 5 quart
mixer.
•Use a candy or other kitchen
thermometer to assure that liquids
are at temperature specified in the
recipe. Liquids at higher
temperature can kill yeast, while
liquids at lower temperatures will
retard yeast growth.
•Warm all ingredients to room
temperature to insure proper rising
of dough. If yeast is to be dissolved
in bowl, always warm bowl first by
rinsing with warm water to prevent
cooling of liquids.
•Allow bread to rise in a warm
place, 80°F to 85°F, free from draft,
unless otherwise specified in recipe.
•Here are some alternative rising
methods to use: (1) The bowl
containing the dough can be
placed on a wire rack over a pan of
hot water. (2) The bowl can be
placed on the top rack of an
unheated oven; put a pan of hot
water on the rack below. (3) Turn
the oven to 400°F for 1 minute;
then turn it off; place the bowl on
the center rack of the oven and
close the door.
Cover bowl with waxed paper, if
desired. Always cover with towel to
retain warmth in the bowl and
protect the dough from drafts.
•Recipe rising times may vary due to
temperature and humidity in your
kitchen. Dough has doubled in bulk
when indentation remains after tips
of fingers are pressed lightly and
quickly into dough.
•Most bread recipes give a range for
the amount of flour to be used.
Enough flour has been added when
the dough starts to clean sides of
bowl. If dough is sticky or humidity
is high, slowly add more flour,
about
1
⁄
2 cup at a time but NEVER
exceed recommended flour
capacity. Knead after each addition
until flour is completely worked into
dough. If too much flour is added,
a dry loaf will result.
• When done, yeast breads and rolls
should be deep golden brown in
color. Other tests for doneness of
breads are: Bread pulls away from
the sides of pan, and tapping on
the top of the loaf produces a
hollow sound. Turn loaves and rolls
onto racks immediately after baking
to prevent sogginess.
55
Divide dough in half. On lightly
floured surface, roll each half into a
rectangle, approximately 9x14 inches.
A rolling pin will smooth dough and
remove gas bubbles.
Starting at a short end, roll dough
tightly. Pinch dough to seal seam.
Pinch ends and turn under. Place,
seam side down, in loaf pan. Follow
directions in recipe for rising and
baking.
