GREAT BRITISH DESIGN, INNOVATION
AND EXCELLENCE SINCE 1912
Since the turn of the 20th century, Tower has been designing,
developing and manufacturing housewares and small
appliances used by millions of households throughout the
UK and beyond. During the 1960s, the rise in popularity
of pressure cooking saw Tower become the UK’s largest
producer of pressure cookers, right through into the late
1980s. In recent years the Tower brand has been reborn with
an exciting and varied range of housewares and electrical
appliances that have quickly reinstated the brand’s richly
deserved status as a household name.

Tips:
1. Allow refrigerated ingredients, such as butter and eggs, to reach room
temperature before mixing in order for them to combine more thoroughly.
2. To avoid the possibility of shell in the mixture, break eggs into a
separate container before adding to the mix.
3. For best results use heavy cold cream, straight from the refrigerator for making
whipped cream.
4. Do not over-beat. Be careful that you only mix/blend mixtures until the
time recommended in your recipe. Fold into dry ingredients only until just
combined.
5. Changes in temperature and the texture and temperature of the ingredient
will affect the required mixing time and end results.
6. Always start mixing at lower speed. Gradually increase to the recommended
speed as stated in the recipe.
