Hints/Tips:
Switch off and scrape the bowl with a spatula when necessary.
Eggs at room temperature are best for whisking.

bowl.
Use cold ingredients for pastry unless your recipe states otherwise.
When creaming fat and sugar for cake mixes, always use the fat at room temperature
or soften it first.

Points for bread making:
Never exceed the maximum capacities below - you will overload the machine.
To protect the life of the machine always allow a rest period of 20 mins between
mixing loads.
If you hear the machine labouring, switch off, remove half the ingredients and mix
each half separately.
The ingredients mix best if you put the liquid in first.
At intervals, stop the machine and scrape the mixture off the dough hook.
Different types of flour vary considerably in the quantities of liquid required, the
stickiness of the dough can have an effect on the load imposed on the machine. You
are advised to keep the machine under observation whilst the dough is being mixed;
the operation should take no longer than 4 minutes.
