MIXING AND WHIPPING WITH THE QUAD® PROCESSING BLADE

The Quad® processing blade mixes ingredients for cakes, batters, and egg-based sauces such as mayonnaise. It also whips egg whites and cream. Always remember to place the Quad® processing blade into the processing bowl before adding the food.

Butter cakes
