Hints/Tips:
Switch off and scrape the bowl with a spatula when necessary.
Eggs at room temperature are best for whisking.
Before whisking egg whites, make sure there's no grease or egg yolk on the whisk or
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 of 20 mins between mixing
loads.
If you hear the machine labouring, switch off, remove half the dough 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 batches of flour vary considerably in the quantities of liquid required, the
stickiness of the dough can have a marked 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 10 minutes.
