Mixing tips

Adding Ingredients

Always add ingredients as close to side of bowl as possible, not directly into moving beater. The Pouring Shield can be used to simplify adding ingredients. Use Speed 1 until ingredients have been blended. Then gradually increase to desired speed.

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 Speed 1. 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 flour 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 “Setting up your Stand Mixer” section.

ATTACHMENTS

KitchenAid optional attachments are designed to assure long life. The attachment power shaft and attachment hub socket are of a square design, to eliminate any possibility of slipping during the transmission of power to the attachment. The hub and shaft housings are tapered to assure a snug fit, even after prolonged use and wear. KitchenAid attachments require no extra power unit to operate them; the power unit is built-in.
