USING THE STAND MIXER | 5

All speeds have the Soft Start

feature that automatically starts the Stand Mixer at a lower speed to help avoid ingredient splash-out and “our puff” at start-up, then quickly increases to the selected speed for optimal performance. SPEED CONTROL GUIDE - 10 SPEED STAND MIXERS

Stir Stirring 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, Kneading 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. 4 Mixing, Beating For mixing semi-heavy batters, such as 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, Creaming For medium-fast beating (creaming) or whipping. Use to finish mixing cake, doughnut, and other batters. High speed for cake mixes. 8-10 Fast Beating, Fast Whipping, Whipping For whipping cream, egg whites, and boiled frostings. For whipping small Whipping amounts of cream, egg whites or for final whipping of mashed potatoes. NOTE: Use Speed 2 to mix or knead yeast doughs.

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 over beating. With cakes, for example, beating time may be half as long as with other stand mixers. 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” section. NOTE: Do not scrape bowl while Stand Mixer is operating. Adding Ingredients Always add ingredients as close to side of bowl as possible, not directly into moving beater. 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 keep the fruit or nuts from sinking to the bottom of the pan during baking. Sticky fruits should be dusted with our 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. NOTE: If ingredients in very bottom of bowl are not thoroughly mixed, then the beater is not far enough into the bowl. See the “Using the Stand Mixer” section.

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

• Always use the PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook to mix and knead yeast doughs.

• Use Speed 2 to mix or knead yeast dough. Use of any other speed with heavy doughs may cause mixer to stop rotating to limit mixer damage. This is normal operation. If this occurs, turn the speed selector to off, and then turn back on to a lower speed.

• Use a candy or other kitchen thermometer to assure that liquids are at temperature specied 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 ensure proper rising of dough. If yeast is to be dissolved in bowl, always warm bowl rst by rinsing with warm water to avoid cooling of liquids.

• Allow bread to rise in a warm place, 80°F to 85°F (27 °C to 29 °C), free from draft, unless otherwise specied in recipe.
