Functions

OPERATING THE MIXER

Planetary Mixing Action

Planetary mixing action is similar to the mixing action used by commercial mixers in bakeries and patisseries with 360 degree beater-to-bowl coverage. This is achieved by the counter-clockwise motion of the mixer head combined with the clockwise sweep of the accessory. The result is thoroughly mixed ingredients without the need for a rotating bowl.

Attach the appropriate accessory for the mixing task required, using the following guide.

The Scraper Beater

The double-sided scraper beater with its soft edges has been specifically designed to repeatedly scrape around the bowl during mixing, better incorporating ingredients throughout the entire mixture. It is the perfect accessory for creaming butter and sugar, mixing sticky ingredient or folding egg whites to make:

• Frosting and icing
• Cheesecakes
• Flavoured butters
• Muffin batters
• Creaming butter and sugar
• Light to medium cake batters

Additionally, due to the efficient mixing action of the Scraper Beater, the mixing time of many recipes may be reduced. Refer to the Scraper Beater table for approximate mixing times. These are a guide only. Longer mixing times may be required for larger quantities.

Tips

TIPS FOR BETTER BREAD MAKING

• Check the ingredients and read the recipe before starting to bake.
• Measure ingredients accurately. Weighing is more accurate than measuring by volume. To accurately measure water please note that 1ml water = 1g.
• Don't use hot water or liquids as this can kill the yeast. Water and liquids should be added at a tepid temperature.
• Don't use self-raising flour to make yeasted bread unless recipe states otherwise.
• If the weather is hot and humid, reduce the yeast by 14 teaspoon to avoid over rising of the dough.
• Flour properties can alter on a seasonal or storage basis, so it may be necessary to adjust the water and flour ratio. If the dough is too sticky, add extra flour 1 tablespoon at a time if the dough is too dry, add extra water 1 teaspoon at a time. A few minutes is needed for these extra ingredients to be absorbed. Dough with the correct amount of flour and water should form into a smooth, round ball that is damp to the touch but not sticky.

Warm area for rising

- Yeast, either when sponging or in the dough, requires warmth to rise. To create a ‘warm area’ for dough to rise, place baking tray over a bowl of fairly warm water, place prepared dough item on baking tray, cover loosely with lightly greased thicker-style plastic wrap or a tea towel. Ensure kitchen is warm and free of draughts. Allow the dough to rise until doubled in size.

VITAL INGREDIENTS FOR BREAD MAKING

Flour is the most important ingredient used for bread making. It provides food for the yeast and gives structure to the loaf. When mixed with liquid, the protein in the flour starts to form gluten. Gluten is a network of elastic strands that interlock to trap the gases produced by yeast. This process increases as the dough continues kneading and provides the structure required to produce the weight and shape of the baked bread.

White wheat flour sold as baker's bread flour or plain flour may be used. Plain flour is most readily available; however, best results are obtained with flour at least 11% protein content.

Wholemeal wheat flour contains the bran, germ and flour of the wheat grain. Although breads baked with this type of flour will be higher in fibre, the loaf may be heavier in texture. Lighter textured bread can be achieved by replacing 160g of wholemeal flour with white bread flour.

Rye flour popular for bread making, is low in protein so it is essential to combine rye flour with bread flour to make the bread rise successfully.

Gluten flour is made by extracting the gluten portion from the wheat grain. Adding gluten flour can improve the structure and quality of bread when using low-protein, plain, stone ground and wholemeal flour.

Bread mixes contain flour, sugar, milk, salt, oil and other ingredients such as bread improver. Usually only the addition of water and yeast is required.

Bread improvers are available in supermarkets. The ingredients in a bread improver are usually a food acid such as ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and other enzymes (amylases) extracted from wheat flours. Adding a bread improver will help strengthen the dough resulting in a loaf that is higher in volume, softer in texture, more stable and has improved shelf life qualities.

Sugar provides sweetness and flavour, browns the crust and produces food for the yeast. White sugar, brown sugar, honey and golden syrup are all suitable to use. When using honey or golden syrup it must be counted as additional liquid.

Powdered milk and milk products enhance the flavour and increase the nutritional value of bread. Powdered milk is convenient and easy to use.

Salt is an important ingredient in bread making. In the dough, salt increases water absorption, improves kneading, strengthens the gluten development and controls fermentation of the yeast which results in improved loaf shape, crumb structure, crust colour, flavour and keeping qualities. As salt inhibits the rising of bread be accurate when measuring.

Fat adds flavour and retains the moisture. Vegetable oils such as sunflower, canola, etc. can be used. Butter or margarine can be substituted for oil in recipes but may give a yellow coloured crumb.

Yeast is used as the raising agent for the breads and requires liquid, sugar and warmth to grow and rise. Before using dried yeast always check the use by date, as stale yeast will prevent the bread from rising.

Water If using water in cold climates or from the refrigerator, allow water to come to room temperature. Extremes of hot or cold water will prevent the yeast activating.

Eggs can be used in some bread recipes and provide liquid, aid rising and increase the nutritional value of the bread. They add flavour and softness to the crumb and are usually used in sweeter types of bread.

Other ingredients such as fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, etc., required to remain whole in the baked bread, should be suspended in the dough. These ingredients should be gradually added during the kneading and before the dough rises for the first time.

TIPS FOR BETTER CAKE & PASTRY MAKING

• Check the ingredients and read the recipe before starting to bake.
• Measure ingredients accurately. Weighing is more accurate than measuring by volume.
• Preheat oven before starting recipe preparation, this will ensure the correct temperature is achieved before baking starts.
• Temperature and cooking times may vary with some ovens so adjust accordingly. If using a fan forced oven, reduce the temperatures in the recipes by 10–20°C.
• When mixing, start the mixer at a lower speed then gradually increase to the recommended speed in the recipe especially when adding dry ingredients.
• When using smaller quantities turn off the mixer from time to time and scrape the bowl with a spatula.
• Ensure beaters and mixing bowl are clean, dry and free of fats when whipping egg whites as these will impede aeration.
• Lightly grease trays and cake pans with melted butter, oil or an oil spray and line with non-stick baking paper; this will make removing your baked goods easier.
• Butter should be softened to room temperature to make creaming butter and sugar easier.
• Keep surfaces and ingredients chilled when making, handling or rolling out pastry. Butter for pastry making should be kept refrigerated.
• Avoid stretching pastry when rolling out as it will shrink when baking. Use light, even strokes in one direction and avoid pressing down hard on the rolling pin. Where possible, rest pastry in the refrigerator before baking.
• Eggs and egg whites should be at room temperature. Adding room temperature eggs to cake mixes will also prevent curdling of the butter mixture.

• Separate eggs individually into another container before adding to other ingredients to avoid potential spoilage.

• Separate egg whites carefully to avoid inclusion of egg yolks. Egg yolks contain fat and will prevent successful whipping of egg whites.

• Rinse beaten egg residue from beater and mixing bowl or other utensils with cold water immediately after use. Using hot water will set the egg and make cleaning difficult.
• Test if cakes are cooked 5 minutes before end of recommended cooking time by inserting a metal or wooden skewer into the centre of the cake. The skewer should come out clean or with small dry crumbs on it.
• For crisper results when baking biscuits, remove the baking trays from the oven and place directly onto wire racks. Move the biscuits slightly away from their baked position on the trays and cool completely before removing.

VITAL INGREDIENTS FOR CAKE & PASTRY MAKING

Flour such as plain, self-raising and wholemeal, used for cake and pastry making should be lower in protein (gluten) than flour used for bread making.

Plain flour has a lower protein (gluten) content than bread flour, and gives baked products, such as cakes, muffins, pastries, scones and pancakes, a softer texture.

Self-raising flour is a blend of plain flour and raising agents such as baking powder. Self-raising flour can be used in recipes to replace plain flour and baking powder. To make 1 cup self-raising flour sift together 1 cup plain flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.

Wholemeal flour contains more parts of the whole wheat grain – flour, bran and wheat germ – and can be used in muffins, breads and pie cases but will have a denser texture.

Cornflour is traditionally made from maize (corn) and is used in some baked products to give a finer texture and can also be used as a starch to thicken sauces and desserts.

Rice flour is derived from rice and is used to give a finer texture in baked products such as shortbread biscuits.

Baking powder is a mixture of cream of tartar and bicarbonate of soda and is used as a raising agent in baking.

Bicarbonate of soda, also known as baking soda, is an ingredient in baking powder and can be used as an additional raising agent.

Butter will give particular flavour and soft texture to baked products. Margarine can replace butter to give a similar result. Oil can be used in some baking to replace butter but will give texture and flavour differences. If using oil, use a light flavoured oil like vegetable, sunflower or grapeseed oil. Using stronger flavoured oils, like nut and olive oils, will affect the flavour of the cake.

Eggs should be at room temperature to give better volume when making cakes and sponges.

Milk should be full cream unless specified. Light, low fat or skim milk can be used but will give texture and flavour differences.

Sugar (white crystal sugar) is used to give flavour, texture and colour to baked products.

Caster sugar is often used in baking as it is easier to dissolve when creaming butter and sugar.

Brown sugar is also easy to dissolve and can be used to give a different flavour and texture. The large crystals of raw sugar are slower to dissolve and can be suitable for baked products such as muffins.

MEASURING & WEIGHING

The accuracy of measurements can affect the critical balance of the recipe. Use accurate and appropriate measuring equipment to ensure the best results.

Dry measuring cups & spoons

For dry ingredients, use nested plastic or metal dry measuring cups and spoons. Do not use tableware cups or spoons.

It is important to spoon or scoop the dry ingredients loosely into the cup. Do not tap the cup or pack the ingredients into the cup unless otherwise directed (e.g. packed brown sugar).

The extra amount gained from packing or tapping down ingredients can affect the critical balance of your recipe. Level the top of the cup by sweeping the excess with the back of a knife.

When using measuring spoons for either liquid or dry ingredients such as yeast, sugar, salt, dry milk or honey, measurements should be level, not heaped.

Liquid measuring cups

For liquid ingredients, use transparent plastic or glass liquid measuring cups with the measurements marked clearly on the side.

Measuring cup must be on a flat and horizontal surface. An inaccurate measurement can affect the critical balance of the recipe.

PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION

Mixer will not work when switched ON	·Check the power cord is correctly plugged into the outlet and the outlet is on.·Always ensure the speed control dial is in the OFF (O) position before starting.·Ensure the motor head is locked into a horizontal position.·Ensure the Pause feature has not been engaged.·The temperature overload protection (manual reset cut-out switch) device has not fully reset; allow more time for the motor to cool down.
Cannot set the time on the count-down timer	·Always ensure the speed control dial is in the OFF (O) position before trying to set the count-down time.
Mixer suddenly switches off during mixing	·The mixer has been stressed by overloading or stalling. The mixer will automatically activate the overload protection and the unit will switch off. The "E1", "E2" or "E3" error message is flashing on the timer display. If this happens, turn the speed control dial back to the OFF (O) position. Turn the mixer off at the power outlet and unplug it for at least 30 minutes. The overload protection device will reset, and the mixer will be ready to use again when it powers back into standby mode.
Noise is heard when scraper beater is mixing.	·When ingredients are in the mixing bowl, the scraper beater may make a slight noise as it scrapes the sides and bottom of the bowl. This is normal and should not cause concern. Do not turn the mixer on with the scraper beater in place if the mixing bowl is empty. This will cause the scraper beater to make a loud noise as it scrapes the bowl.
