Using Your KitchenAid®Attachments
Flat Beater for normal to heavy mixtures:
cakes biscuits
creamed frostings quick breads
candies meat loaf
cookies mashed potatoes
pie pastry
Wire Whip for mixtures that need air incorporated:
eggs sponge cakes
egg whites angel food cakes
heavy cream mayonnaise
boiled frostings some candies
Dough Hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs:
breads coffee cakes
rolls buns
Mixing Time
Your KitchenAid®Mixer will mix faster
and more thoroughly than most
other electric mixers. Therefore, the
mixing time in most recipes must be
adjusted to avoid overbeating. With
cakes, for example, beating time may
be half as long as with other mixers.
Mixer Use
NOTE: Do not scrape bowl while
mixer is operating.
The bowl and beater are designed to
provide thorough mixing without
frequent scraping. Scraping the bowl
once or twice during mixing is usually
sufficient. Turn unit off before
scraping.
The mixer may warm up during use.
Under heavy loads with extended
mixing time, you may not be able to
comfortably touch the top of the
unit. This is normal.
