Eggs at room temperature are best for whisking.

Before whisking egg whites, make sure there is no
grease or egg yolk on the whisk or bowl.

Use cold ingredients for pastry unless your recipe
states otherwise.
l
When creaming fat and sugar for cake mixes,
always use the fat at room temperature or soften it
first.

Your machine has been fitted with a ‘soft start’
feature to minimise spillage. However if the
machine is switched on with a heavy mixture in the
bowl such as bread dough, you may notice that it
takes a few seconds to reach the selected speed.
points for bread making
important
l
Never exceed the maximum capacities stated - you
will overload the machine.
l
Some movement of the mixer head is
normal when mixing heavy loads such as
bread dough.
l
The ingredients mix best if you put the liquid in first.
l
At intervals stop the machine and scrape the
mixture off the dough hook.
l
Different batches of flour vary considerably in the
quantities of liquid required and 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 6-8 minutes.
