. . . Your Hobart Mixer

A Hobart Mixer brings profit to your operation every time you use it. Uniform mixing reduces waste and improves process control. Smooth surfaces and durable materials make cleanup fast and easy. This all means economical operation for you.

Because of its reliability, your Hobart Mixer will give years of dependable, low cost service.

The Hobart Mixer's planetary action assures uniform mixing. The mix arm reaches every part of the batch. It rotates on its axis opposite to the direction that it moves around the bowl. Thorough mixing, blending and aerating of ingredients yields consistent, predictable results every time. You can depend on it.

Hobart Mixers are flexible in the kitchen. They quickly accept attachments to do many different jobs. Most models allow use of bowls of more than one size, and several agitator styles are available to handle specific mixing tasks. Your Hobart Mixer is adaptable to your needs.

We build them that way for you. Our reputation depends on it.

Beaters, Whips, Dough Arms, Pastry Knives

. . . and How to Use Them

This section illustrates and names the various mixer agitators and discusses their applications. General information on how to get the best results from your Hobart mixer is also provided. As is always the case with the art of cooking, your best creations are achieved by carefully proving your methods and formulas and evaluating the results.

The discussions on mixer performance and agitator uses are similar for planetary action mixers regardless of size. That is not to say that the same mix times will apply. This handbook offers suggestions and guidelines only. The cooking is up to you.

Attachments and accessories and their uses are discussed in the last section of the handbook.

CLEANING NEW MIXER BOWLS AND AGITATORS

Before using the first time, thoroughly wash new mixer bowls and agitators (beaters, whips, dough arms and pastry knives). Wash in hot water and a mild detergent solution, rinse with either a mild soda or vinegar solution, and thoroughly rinse with clear water. Also follow this cleaning procedure for bowls and agitators before whipping egg whites or whole eggs.

AGITATORS AND THEIR USES

Agitators are available for the different mixers and bowl sizes and for the type of product that is being mixed.

The B Flat Beater is a multi-purpose agitator used for mashing potatoes or other

vegetables, and mixing cakes, batters or icings. It is also used in industrial applications for any product requiring a creaming or rubbing action and uniform dispersion of ingredients. Use first speed for starting most operations; medium speed for finishing.

The D Wire Whip is designed for maximum blending of air into light products.

Uses include: whipping cream, beating egg whites, mixing very light icings, meringues and all similar applications. The D Wire Whip is most commonly used in second and third speed on three speed mixers and third and fourth speed on four speed mixers.
