Mixing Guide
Please keep in mind that the various mixing tasks and related speeds, listed in the table below, may vary slightly from recipe to recipe.
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.
When mixing larger quantities you may need to increase the Mixmaster® hand mixer speed due to the amount of mixing required and the larger load on the machine.
