Applications/handling Wrist movement Whilst processing, use a light swivelling motion from the wrist draw mixSy up a little and let it fall again on the ingredients (do not press or pound). The neness of the result depends on the length of processing. Drawing up Rest the mixSy for a few seconds on the bottom of the jug.

Continue processing for another 3 minutes. After about 5 minutes the mixture will be ready to be put into a well-greased baking tin and baked at medium heat. Dust the cake with icing sugar when baked. Whipped cream Whipping cream Sugar The cream should be as cold and as fresh as possible, preferably not more than one day old. Pour it into a tall, narrow, dry jug. Put the BEATER attachment on the mixer and hold it in the cream. Switch on. While the mixer is working, draw it slowly at an angle towards the rim. Repeat this motion carefully. Occasionally hold the beater just under the surface. By holding the beater at an angle, air is beaten into the liquid with every turn. Do not work too quickly. In a short time you will have nely aerated whipped cream, which will keep its shape. Add the sugar only at the end. When the machine is switched o, tap it on your hand to get all the cream into the jug.

Use only skimmed milk, and add if you like a pinch of salt or lemon juice, which helps in stien. Whipped egg-white Put the egg-white in a tall, narrow jug (small amounts - small jugs, large amounts - large jugs) and immerse the BEATER in it. Switch on and add hot water (1 tbsp. is enough even for larger amounts), while drawing the mixer at an angle very slowly upwards. Repeat this procedure very carefully - to get air into the contents - until the egg-white is sti. Rinse jugs with clear water before use, so that there are no traces of detergent in them, which would prevent the egg-white becoming sti.14

Hot and cold drinks Cocoa 1/2 Itr. milk

1 - 2 tbsps. cocoa (according to taste)

Sugar Bring the milk to boiling in a pan, as tall and narrow as possible. Hold the mixer with the WHISK attachment in the milk and switch on. Sprinkle in the cocoa and sugar.

Egg nog 6 whole eggs 250 gr. icing sugar Juice of half a lemon 1 small packet vanilla sugar

1.5 dl. 90 % proof spirit

1 small tin unsweetened condensed milk Mix together the eggs, sugar, milk, lemon juice and vanilla sugar for 2 minutes with the WHISK. Then add the spirit and mix for a further minute. Bottle immediately and let stand for a week if possible. The avour can be varied by adding 2 tsps. instant coee. Milk drinks (shakes) Can be made in no time with the WHISK. Put all ingredients into a jug, add ice cubes, sugar or honey if desired and chop them all together with the mincer. Some suggestions: Milk, strawberries, lemon juice Milk bananas, lemon juice Milk, blueberries, lemon juice Baby Food mixsy is excellent for preparing baby food from fresh ingredients, since small amounts can be produced quickly and without eort. Here are two suggestions: Carrot purée Scrape the carrots and cook them in slightly salted water until tender. Add a small amount of butter and cream with the MINCER. In the same way other kinds of vegetables can be prepared, if desired with the addition of a boiled potato. Fruit purée Soften a rusk in a little orange juice, add a banana and puree very nely with the MINCER. You can make an equally good fruit puree for a baby from a small, fresh carrot, a piece of apple and a piece of banana with the addition of a piece of whole- wheat rusk or crispbread. This can be sweetened with a little honey.16 17VO-022-K
