RECIPES
Mixing Tips
• Always read entire recipe and measure
all ingredients before beginning the
mixing process.
• For best results, do not measure flour
directly from the bag. Pour into a
container or bowl, scoop out the flour
and level with the back of a knife or
spatula. For flour stored in a container,
stir before measuring.
• Eggs, butter or cream cheese combine
more thoroughly at room temperature.
• Remove butter for recipe first and cut
into
1
⁄2-inch pieces, then measure
out remaining ingredients for recipe.
This will hasten the warming process.
Do not warm butter for baking in a
microwave unless instructed to do so.
Microwaving can melt butter; melted
butter will change the final product.
• The best cheesecakes are made
when the eggs and cream cheese
are a similar room temperature. While
the Cuisinart
®
hand mixer can easily
mix cold cream cheese,
the trick is

Larger
Hole
Collar

not to add too much air, which can
cause cracking.
• For best results, use heavy cream, cold
from the refrigerator, for whipped cream.
• For best results, whip egg whites in a
spotlessly clean stainless steel or glass
mixing bowl. If available, use a copper
mixing bowl. Chocolate chips, nuts,
raisins, etc. can be added using
speeds 1 or 2 of your hand mixer.
• To separate eggs for any recipe, break
them one at a time into a small bowl,
gently remove yolks, then transfer egg
whites to spotlessly clean mixing bowl.
If a yolk breaks into the egg white,
reserve that one for another use. Just
a drop of egg yolk in the white will prevent the whites from whipping properly.
• To achieve the best volume when
whipping egg whites, the mixing bowl
and beaters must be spotlessly clean
and free of any fat, oil, etc. (Plastic
bowls are not recommended for whipping egg whites.) The presence of any
trace of fat or oil will prevent the egg
whites from increasing in volume. Wash
bowl and attachments thoroughly
before beginning again.
• Occasionally ingredients may stick to
the sides of the mixing bowl. When this
occurs, turn mixer off and scrape the
sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
