Berkel PM80, PM60 important safety instructions Meringues

3.MERINGUES

Use the wire whip. Meringues can be made perfect by the gradual addition of sugar to eggs that have not been beaten too stiffly.

4.MAYONNAISE

Use the wire whip. Depending on the quantity of mayonnaise to be made, a commercially purchased 1 gallon, 2 gallon or 6 gallon oil dropper attachment should be used. This oil dropper attachment is attached to the mixer and automatically adds oil to the batch at a controlled rate of flow. Most mayonnaise recipes contain whole eggs, corn or cottonseed oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard and white pepper. The eggs should be placed in the mixing bowl first and beaten for approximately five minutes at high speed. The speed should then be reduced to slow speed and add the dry ingredients that have already been mixed together. Mix at high speed for approxi- mately five minutes. Then the oil dropper should be turned on so that the oil is gradually added to the batch for 10 to 20 minutes, after which time the vinegar is poured in slowly. The mixing should be discontinued after the vinegar has been thoroughly mixed into the batch. The last operation in making mayonnaise involves stopping the mixer, scraping the upper part of the bowl with a spatula or bowl scraper to make sure that every portion will be evenly mixed into the recipe. Mayonnaise becomes a thicker and more stable product when the oil is added very slowly.

5.MASHING POTATOES

Use the batter beater and pre-heat the bowl and beater. Start the operation on low speed. When the potatoes have been broken up, stop the mixer and add the milk or cream, butter and season- ing. Many operators like to change to the wire whip or to the four wing whip for whipping in the milk or cream since more of a whipping action is obtained to produce a fluffier mashed potato.

6.CAKE BATTERS AND COOKIE DOUGH

Use the batter beater. Butter or shortening can be thoroughly creamed in about 10 minutes. The butter or shortening should be at room temperature. Sugar should be added to recipes at a me- dium speed. When all of the sugar has been added, stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula, or bowl scraper, to insure a smooth mix. Be careful not to add sugar until the butter or shortening has been thoroughly creamed. Some recipes call for yolks and whites to be beaten separately. This is not necessary with your mixer, as the mechanical mixing is efficient enough to allow the addition of whole eggs. When adding dry ingredients, stop the mixer occasionally and scrape the upper part of the bowl with a spatula or bowl scraper to make sure that every portion will be efficiently mixed into the recipe. Always operate the mixer on slow speed while adding dry ingredients. Do most of the beating before the flour and milk are added. Over beating after addition of these two ingredients causes a sub-standard mixture.

7.MIXING DOUGH

Always use the dough hook for mixing heavy dough mixtures. Do not overload the mixer with batches that are too large. (See the capacity chart for capacities of the various size bowls.)

Remember - an increased mixing time means a decreased fermentation time. Weighing ingredi- ents each time you mix will ensure a standard product. Stop the mixer occasionally to lower the dough mass from the hook and to scrape the bowl.
