Please keep in mind that the various mixing tasks and related speeds, listed in the table
below, may vary slightly from recipe to recipe. Please refer to it regularly as you develop
your understanding of how different ingredients interact when mixing.
SPEED MIXING GUIDE EXAMPLES
1
SOFTEN/MELT/
FOLD
Use when mixing dry ingredients or when folding flour
gently into a cake batter. Use when softening and mixing
chilled butter and sugar. Use for melting chocolate or
when recipes call for low speed.
2 STIR/KNEAD
Use for kneading bread dough’s or when mixing liquid
ingredients where gentle action is needed.
NOTE: This is the maximum recommended speed for
dough hook usage.
3-6 MIX
Use when quick breads require a brisk mixing action,
Use when combining liquid ingredients together, or when
mixing smooth batters.
Use when mixing dry ingredients and liquid ingredients
together alternatively in a recipe.
Use when a recipe calls for combining ingredients
together.
Use when recipes call for medium speed.
7 CREAM
Use for whipping softened butter and sugar together to
develop a light fluffy texture.
8-10 WHIP/CREAM
Use to whip cream and egg whites. Use to create smooth
frostings and toppings. Use when recipes call for high speed.
NOTE: Mixer may not maintain fast speeds under heavy loads, such as when the heavy-duty
attachments are used. This is a normal condition.
Hints & Tips
For most recipes, it is better to begin
your mixing on a slower speed until the
ingredients begin combining, then move
to the appropriate speed range for the
particular task.
Generally, there is not one set speed for
an entire recipe. You will need to change
the speed of the mixer depending on what
stage of the recipe you are working on. This
is communicated in the recipe section.
When mixing larger quantities you may
need to increase the mixer speed due to the
amount of mixing required and the larger
load on the machine.
When building up a recipe that requires
the addition of dry ingredients, such as
flour, slow the speed down whilst these
ingredients are being added to avoid a
snow storm effect. Once the additional
ingredients begin combining then slowly
increase to the appropriate speed for the
particular mixing task.
