GETTING THE BEST FROM YOUR KITCHEN MACHINE
•When making cakes, use butter or margarine at room temperature as this combines with the
sugar easier and you will incorporate more air for a better result.
•When making pastry, it is best to use very cold butter and ice cold water.
•Eggs at room temperature are best for whisking, so take them out of the fridge an hour
before you need to use them.
•Bread dough works best if you add the water first before other ingredients.
•A clean bowl is essential when whisking egg whites, if there is any grease present they will
not increase in volume, wipe half a lemon around the bowl first. Maximum capacity is 12 egg
whites.
•When making bread, if you hear the machine straining, switch the mixer OFF (0) remove half
the dough and mix each half separately.
•It is best not to use the whisk for creaming butter and sugar together as this may damage the
attachment, the beater is recommended for this.
•When whipping cream, use cold cream from the fridge this whips better and is more stable
when whipped, maximum for whipping is 600ml.
•It may be necessary to scrape down the bowl from time to time to ensure even mixing, switch
the machine OFF (0) and lift the multifunction head up.
•When blending, cut the ingredients into bite size pieces (2”) for better mixing.
•Try adding frozen fruit to smoothies; this reduces the need for ice cubes. Frozen fruit is picked
at its peak and is easy to store in the freezer.
•When blending soup, ensure that it has cooled sufficiently to prevent scalding, hold a clean
tea towel over the lid to ensure that it is secure.
•The blender is not suitable for grinding meat, making dough, or blending stones
from fruit.
