Mixing time
Your KitchenAid Stand Mixer will mix
faster and more thoroughly than most
other electric mixers. Therefore, the
mixing time in most recipes must be
adjusted to avoid overbeating.
To help determine the ideal mixing time,
observe the batter or dough and mix only
until it has the desired appearance described
in your recipe, such as “smooth and creamy.”
To select the best mixing speeds, use the
“Speed control guide” section.
NOTE: If ingredients in very bottom
of bowl are not thoroughly mixed,
then the beater is not far enough into
the bowl. See the “Setting up your
Stand Mixer” section.
Adding Ingredients
Always add ingredients as close to side of
bowl as possible, not directly into moving
beater. The Pouring Shield can be used to
simplify adding ingredients. Use Speed 1
until ingredients have been blended. Then
gradually increase to desired speed.
Adding Nuts, Raisins, or Candied Fruits
Follow individual recipes for guidelines on
including these ingredients. In general, solid
materials should be folded in the last few
seconds of mixing on Speed 1. The batter
should be thick enough to keep the fruit
or nuts from sinking to the bottom of the
pan during baking. Sticky fruits should be
dusted with our for better distribution
in the batter.
TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
Mixing tips
Liquid Mixtures
Mixtures containing large amounts of liquid
ingredients should be mixed at lower speeds
to avoid splashing. Increase speed only after
mixture has thickened.
KitchenAid optional attachments are designed to assure long life. The attachment power
shaft and attachment hub socket are of a square design, to eliminate any possibility of slipping
during the transmission of power to the attachment. The hub and shaft housings are tapered
to assure a snug t, even after prolonged use and wear. KitchenAid attachments require no
extra power unit to operate them; the power unit is built-in.
