the mixing tools and some of their uses
For making cakes, biscuits, pastry, icing, fillings, éclairs and mashed
potato.
For eggs, cream, batters, fatless sponges, meringues, cheesecakes,
mousses, soufflés. Don’t use the whisk for heavy mixtures (eg creaming
fat and sugar) - you could damage it.
For yeast mixtures.
to use your mixer

locks.
Turn till it stops then push.
Fit the bowl onto the base - press down and turn clockwise 
Turn the head-lift lever anti-clockwise and lower the mixer head till it
locks - otherwise the mixer won’t work.

To start, press the green button. To stop, press the red button.
If you raise the mixer head while the machine’s running, the machine
stops.

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 says otherwise.
points for bread making
Never exceed the maximum capacities below - you’ll overload the
machine.
If you hear the machine labouring, switch off, remove half the dough
and do each half separately.
The ingredients mix best if you put the liquid in first.

problem
The whisk or K-beater knocks against the bottom of the bowl or isn’t
reaching the ingredients in the bottom of the bowl.
Adjust the height. Here’s how:
Unplug.
Raise the mixer head and insert the whisk or beater.
Hold it, then loosen the nut 
Lower the mixer head.
Adjust the height by turning the shaft. Ideally the whisk/K-beater should
be almost touching the bottom of the bowl 
Raise the head, hold the whisk/K-beater and tighten the nut.

Wash and halve the strawberries.
To make the sponge, whisk the eggs and sugar at maximum speed

into half the cream.
Spread this over one of the sponges, then put the other sponge on top.

2.5cm (1”) star nozzle).
