With your KitchenAid
®
stand mixer,
egg whites whip quickly. So, watch
to avoid overwhipping. This list tells
you what to expect.

Large, uneven air bubbles.
Begins to Hold Shape
Air bubbles are fine and compact;
product is white.

Tips of peaks fall over when wire
whip is removed.

Sharp peaks form when wire whip
is removed, but whites are actually
soft.
Stiff but not Dry
Sharp, stiff peaks form when wire
whip is removed. Whites are
uniform in color and glisten.

whip is removed. Whites are
speckled and dull in appearance.

chilled bowl. Attach bowl and wire
whip. To avoid splashing, gradually
turn to designated speed and whip
to desired stage. See chart below.
AMOUNT SPEED

⁄4 cup (50 mL) .....GRADUALLY to 10
1

1 cup (250 mL) .....GRADUALLY to 8

Whipping Stages
Watch cream closely during
whipping. Because your
KitchenAid
®
stand mixer whips so
quickly, there are just a few
seconds between whipping stages.
Look for these characteristics:
Begins to Thicken
Cream is thick and custard-like.
Holds its Shape
Cream forms soft peaks when wire
whip is removed. Can be folded
into other ingredients when making
desserts and sauces.

Cream stands in stiff, sharp peaks
when wire whip is removed. Use
for topping on cakes or desserts, or
filling for cream puffs.
