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

Place softened butter and sugar into the processing bowl. Process using the ON button until mixture is lightly creamed. With the motor running, add eggs one at a time down the food chute, mixing well after each addition.

If necessary, interrupt the processing, remove the lid and scrape the mixture from the sides of the bowl.
