MIXING PROCEDURE
1. Put soft serve product into a serving cup along with ingredients such as liquid
avoring, and ground solids such as candy, coolies, fruit or other condiments.
2. Snap on mix-through collar. Slide power mixing spoon up onto the shaft until it
snaps into place. (Disposable spoon units only.)
3. Mixing procedure for hard ice cream: Use cup holder or use sturdy cup to prevent
the agitator from going through the side of the cup. This hard ice cream agitator is
specially designed to mix the product at 5˚F (scooping temperature) aggressively
and thoroughly without wasting time.
4. Hold the cup securely in your hand and with a swirling motion, rotate cup up and
over the spinning agitator and completely around all sides of the cup. Moving the
cup so the agitator goes to the bottom of the cup and back up to the top of the cup,
to thoroughly mix the dessert. This also will decorate the dessert fully without
leaving a 'spunned' look down in the center of the cup. (If ice cream is hard, this
should be done slowly.) Develop your own technique for the nished product
characteristics you want. The agitator will do some chipping and breaking of the
solids. However, it is not intended to completely pulverize them because solid
chunks are expected to be evident in the nal product.
5. Both the permanent agitator and the disposable spoon agitator are designed to
reduce the possibility of damage when contacting a paper cup. However, they
should not be forced or held solidly against the side or bottom of the cup.
6. If the cup is hard to hold, either work the agitator into the mix more slowly or
start with softer ice cream. Do not continue to operate if you are having trouble
holding the cup.
7. When nished mixing, hold the top edge of the cup up around the still-turning
agitator for a few seconds to allow excess mixture to be thrown back off the
agitator and be caught by the cup or Mix'n Machine "mix-through collar."
8. FOR THE CLEANEST OPERATION WITH EITHER STANDARD UNITS OR
WALL MOUNT UNITS, use the "spoon agitators" and the Mix'n Machine "mix-
through collars" (both disposable). Turn off the mixer with the spoon still in the
cup and serve the customer.
9. This mixing action will normally take 10 seconds with soft serve ice cream and
a little more for hard ice cream. Some combinations may take more depending
upon additives, ice cream temperature, technique, and nal product desired. See
specic recipes for more detailed information. Most competitive blenders have
poorly designed agitators preventing safe aggressive mixing of the product while
it is still rm. Slow mixing wastes time and melts your product. Both of which
reduce your prots.
10. Use of Moving Splash guard: This splash guard moves up and down on top of
either a permanent or disposable cup collar. It will not restrict the circular and up
and down motion required for fast, efcient mixing. Because of its unique design,
it catches the food material thrown from the agitator and shields material from
being thrown out the top, providing for more complete protection.
