NOTES:

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 no one set speed for an entire recipe. You will need to change the speed of the bench 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 bench 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 extra ingredients begin combining then slowly increase to the appropriate speed for the particular mixing task.
