Tips for Use

- ATTENTION: Never switch the appliance >On< when the motor head is raised and never raise the motor head when the appliance is in operational mode. Risk of injury! Always ensure the appliance is switched >Off< before raising or lowering the motor head.

- Attend to add dry and liquid ingredients by turns.

- Choose a slow speed when mixing liquid food to avoid splashes. Wait for the dough to set before arising the speed.

- Choose the slowest speed when you start mixing and arise speed slowly up to the desired speed setting.

- When adding ingredients do not pour them directly onto the processing tool. Add them on the side of the bowl. The provided splash guard eases the sideways adding.

- Add liquid ingredients slowly otherwise the liquid will gather in the middle of the bowl and even mixing is getting more difficult.

- Process cake mixtures with the medium speed levels (4 - 5) and arise to the faster levels (7 - 8). Refer to the instructions of the recipe for best mixing results.

- Use the beater for adding heavy ingredients such as nuts, raisins, chocolatepieces or dried fruit and choose a slow speed level. The added ingredients wont get squashed this way but get carefully folded into the dough. For adding heavy ingredients the dough should be heavy

otherwise the ingredients will settle on the base of the cake pan. Flour sticky fruit before adding them to the dough.

- For yeast dough and other heavy dough use dough hook only and a slow speed (max speed lever 2). Overheating and overloading will damage the appliance.

- For best results warm up the bowl before making yeast dough. Therefore rinse the bowl with hot water. For the case that the dough sticks to the dough hook keep on processing the dough until smooth and even.

- WARNING: Do not process hot food. Wait for the food to cool down. The rising steam and condensation on the appliance can damage the appliance.

- Use the whisk for beating the white of eggs and ensure the bowl is dry or clean. Slowly arise the speed up to level 8 - 10 and check the consistency of the eggs. The white of egg is ready when it is stiff and shiny and when it sticks to the whisk taking the whisk out of the bowl. Do not beat the white of eggs too long otherwise the froth will irreversible separate from liquid.

- Chill the bowl when making whipped cream and only use chilled whipped cream. Slowly arise the speed up to level 8 - 10 and check the consistency of the whipped cream. The whipped cream is stiff when it sticks to the whisk taking the whisk out of the bowl. Do not overprocess the whipped cream.

RECIPE IDEAS

Speedy Processor Pizza Dough

2 cups (approx. 240 g) all-purpose flour

1 package (7 g) active dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
³/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
³/4 cup (180 ml) hot tap water

Operate according to the instructions >Operating>. Assemble the dough hook. Add flour, yeast, sugar and salt to bowl, lower the motorhead according to the instructions 'To operate the appliance', attach the splash guard to the bowl and process shortly on low speed to blend.

Add vegetable oil to hot water. With motor running on low speed, slowly add water/oil mixture sideways (should take about 30 seconds). Continue processing to knead dough for 12 to 1 minute. Stop the appliance, and test dough for stickiness. If dough is still sticky, process to knead for another 15 to 30 seconds. Let dough rest 10 minutes.

Remove splash guard, rise the motorhead and take the dough out of the bowl. On floured board, fold dough over 3 or 4 times to knead slightly. For 1 large pizza baked in a 38 x 25 x 2 cm backing pan, roll dough out to about that size, and transfer to greased pan. Gently push dough out to cover pan and form crust edge up sides of pan. For 2 thin crust pizzas (about 30 cm diameter), divide dough in half. Roll dough out to form a circle, and transfer to greased pizza pans. Shape crust partially up sides of pan to form crust edge. (Dough will be thin, and be sure to push dough together if any holes or rips occur.) Cover crust with pizza sauce, vegetables and cheeses as desired.

Bake at 220°C for 18 to 20 minutes for large, single pizza, or about 12 to 15 minutes for thinner, round pizzas. (Makes: 1 large, or 2 smaller pizza crusts.)

Basic White Bread

3,5 cups (approx. 420 g) all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons soft butter, divided in 4 pieces
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 package (7g) active dry yeast
14 cup (approx. 60 ml) warm water
²/₃ cup (approx. 160 ml) warm water

Operate according to the instructions >Operating<. Assemble the dough hook. Add flour, butter, sugar and salt to bowl, lower the motorhead according to the instructions >Operating the appliance<, attach the splash guard to the bowl and process shortly on low speed to blend. In measuring cup, add yeast to 14 cup water. Stir to mix, and allow to dissolve, about 10 minutes. With motor running on low speed, slowly add yeast mixture and water sideways (should take about 30 seconds). Continue processing to knead dough for 45 seconds. Stop the appliance, remove splash guard, rise the motorhead and scrape dough from sides of the bowl.

Lower the motorhead, replace the splash guard and process to knead for another minute. Turn off the appliance, remove the splash guard, rise the motorhead, take the dough out, shape into ball and place in a greased mixing bowl. Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Turn the dough once and let rest for another 15 minutes.

Shape to fit 23 x 23 x 8 cm greased bread pan. Cover and let rise again in warm place until dough has risen about 1-inch over sides of pan, about 1 hour. Bake in preheated 200°C oven about 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown. Take out of pan immediately. (Makes: 1 loaf.)

One Crust Standard Pie Crust

1 cup (approx. 120 g) all-purpose flour

12 teaspoon salt

14 cup (approx. 55g) Palmin Soft

Remove splash guard, rise the motorhead and take out the dough. Gently shape dough into a ball with hands. Roll out for pie, or as directed in recipe. If crust is to be baked before filling, prick generously with fork.

Bake in preheated oven at 230^irc C until golden brown, about 9 - 10 minutes. Makes: 1 (23 cm) pie crust.
