. . . 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.
