Cookery Tips for Best Results

1.Before starting, read the recipe completely.

2.Refrigerated ingredients, ie butter and eggs should be at room temperature before mixing begins. Set these ingredients out ahead of time.

3.Before starting your recipe preheat oven to baking temperature recommended in the recipe.

4.Assemble all ingredients and utensils near the mixer.

5.To eliminate the possibility of shells or deteriorated/off eggs in your recipe, break eggs into a separate container first, then add to the mixture.

6.When mixing egg whites, be sure the bowls and beaters are thoroughly cleaned and dried. As even the smallest amount of oil on beaters or bowl may cause the egg whites not to aerate.

7.Always start mixing at slow speeds. Gradually increase to the recommended speed as stated in the recipe.

8.When mixing small quantities we recommend using the mixer as a hand mixer.

9.Do not overbeat. Be careful that you only mix/blend mixtures until the recommended time specified in your recipe. Fold in dry ingredients only until just combined. Always use the low speed. At any stage of mixing, over beating can cause toughness, close texture, lack of rising or excessive shrinkage. Climatic conditions, seasonal temperature changes, temperature of ingredients and their texture variation from area to area all play a part in the required mixing time and the results achieved.

10.All recipes have been kitchen tested, but should you find it necessary to vary the ingredients or the size of the tin etc. allow for a variation in cooking time. Always test for doneness in baked foods before removing from the oven or the cooking appliance.

11.During mixing, ingredients may splash to the sides of the bowl. To scrape the bowl, turn the beaters and bowl Control Dials to the ‘OFF’ position and using a plastic or rubber spatula, scrape the bowl.

NEVER USE A KNIFE, METAL SPOON OR FORK, as this may cause damage to the beaters and bowl. A light scraping after the addition of each ingredient assists in achieving efficient mixing.
