Stand Mixer.
To help determine a mixing procedure,
your own observations and experience will
be needed. Watch the batter or dough
and mix only until it has the desired
appearance described in your recipe such
as"smooth and creamy." Usethe "Speed
Control Guide" to help determine proper
mixing speeds.
Adding Ingredients
The standard procedure to follow when
mixing most batters, especially cake and
cookie batters, is to add:
_/3dry ingredients
_/2liquid ingredients
_/3dry ingredients
_/2liquid ingredients
_/3dry ingredients
Use Speed 1 until ingredients have been
blended. Then gradually increase to
desired speed.
Always add ingredients asclose 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, the beater
is not far enough into the bowl. See
"Beater to Bowl Clearance."
Cake Mixes
When preparing packaged cake mixes, use
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
Solid materials should be folded in the last
few seconds of mixing on Speed 1. The
batter should be thick enough to keep 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.
Kneading Yeast Doughs
ALWAYS use the 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.
When making dough with a 4.25 L
(4.5 qt) tilt-head Stand Mixer, do not use
recipes calling for more than 0.87 kg
(7 cups) all-purpose flour or 0.81 kg
(6 cups) whole wheat flour.
When making dough with a 4.8 L
(5 qt) tilt-head Stand Mixer, do not use
recipes calling for more than 1.00 kg
(8 cups) all-purpose flour or 0.81 kg
(6 cups) whole wheat flour.
