Using Your KitchenAid®Attachments
Flat Beater for normal to heavy mixtures:
cakes biscuits creamed frostings quick breads candies meat loaf cookies mashed potatoes pie pastry
Wire Whip for mixtures that need air incorporated:
eggs sponge cakes egg whites angel food cakes heavy cream mayonnaise boiled frostings some candies
PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs:
breads coffee cakes rolls buns pizza dough
Mixing Time
Your KitchenAid®stand mixer will mix faster and more thoroughly than most other electric stand mixers. Therefore, the mixing time
in most recipes must be adjusted to avoid overbeating. With cakes, for example, beating time may be half as long as with other stand mixers.
Mixer Use
NOTE: Do not scrape bowl while
stand mixer is operating.
The bowl and beater are designed to provide thorough mixing without frequent scraping. Scraping the bowl once or twice during mixing is usually sufficient. Turn stand mixer off before scraping.
The stand mixer may warm up during use. Under heavy loads with extended mixing time, you may not be able to comfortably touch the top of the stand mixer. This is normal.
WARNING
Injury Hazard
Unplug mixer before touching beaters.
Failure to do so can result in broken bones, cuts or bruises.
8
Bowl, white flat beater and white spiral dough hook may be washed in an automatic dishwasher. Or, clean them thoroughly in hot sudsy water and rinse completely before drying. Wire whip, burnished spiral dough hook and burnished flat beater should be hand washed and dried immediately. Do not wash wire whip, burnished spiral dough hook
Care and Cleaning
1. Unplug stand mixer.
2. Place bowl-lift handle in down position.
3. Attach flat beater.
4. Adjust so flat beater just clears bottom surface of bowl when in lifted position by turning screw (A) counterclockwise to raise the bowl and clockwise to lower the bowl. Just a slight turn is all that is required: the screw will not rotate more than 1⁄4 turn (90 degrees) in either direction. (The full range of adjustment is
1
2 turn, or 180 degrees.)
5. Place bowl-lift handle in up position to check clearance.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 if necessary.
NOTE: When properly adjusted, the flat beater will not strike on the bottom or side of the bowl. If the flat beater or the wire whip is so close that it strikes the bottom of the bowl, coating may wear off the beater or wires on whip may wear.
Beater to Bowl Clearance
Your stand mixer is adjusted at the factory so the flat beater just clears the bottom of the bowl. If, for any reason, the flat beater hits the bottom of the bowl or is too far away from the bowl, you can correct the clearance easily.
and burnished flat beater in a dishwasher. Do not store beaters on shaft. NOTE: Always be sure to unplug stand mixer before cleaning. Wipe stand mixer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use household/ commercial cleaners. Do not immerse in water. Wipe off beater shaft frequently, removing any residue that may accumulate.

Speed Control Guide – 10-Speed Mixers
All speeds have the Soft Start®feature which automatically starts the stand mixer at a lower speed to help avoid ingredient splash-out and “flour puff” at start-up then quickly increases to the selected speed for optimal performance.
Number of Speed Stir
Speed STIR For slow stirring, combining, mashing,
starting all mixing procedures. Use to add flour and dry ingredients to batter, and add liquids to dry ingredients. Do not use STIR speed to mix or knead yeast doughs.
2 SLOW MIXING For slow mixing, mashing, faster
stirring. Use to mix and knead yeast doughs, heavy batters and candies, start mashing potatoes or other vegetables, cut shortening into flour, mix thin or splashy batters. Use with Can Opener attachment.
4 MIXING, For mixing semi-heavy batters, such as
BEATING cookies. Use to combine sugar and
shortening and to add sugar to egg whites for meringues. Medium speed for cake mixes. Use with: Food Grinder, Rotor Slicer/Shredder, Pasta Roller, and Fruit/Vegetable Strainer.
6 BEATING, For medium fast beating (creaming) or
CREAMING whipping. Use to finish mixing cake,
doughnut, and other batters. High speed for cake mixes. Use with Citrus Juicer attachment.
8 FAST BEATING, For whipping cream, egg whites, and
WHIPPING boiled frostings.
10 FAST WHIPPING For whipping small amounts of cream,
egg whites or for final whipping of mashed potatoes. Use with Pasta Roller and Cutter Set and Grain Mill attachments. NOTE: Will not maintain fast speeds under heavy loads, such as when using Pasta Roller and Cutter Set or Grain Mill attachments.
Use Speed 2 to mix or knead yeast doughs. Use of any other speed creates high potential for stand mixer failure. The PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook efficiently kneads most yeast dough within 4 minutes.

Mixing Tips
Converting Your Recipe for the Mixer
The mixing instructions for recipes in this book can guide you in converting your own favorite recipes for preparation with your KitchenAid®stand mixer. Look for recipes similar to yours and then adapt your recipes to use the procedures in the similar KitchenAid®recipes.
For example, the “quick mix” method (sometimes referred to as the “dump” method) is ideal for simple cakes, such as the Quick Yellow Cake and Easy White Cake included in this book. This method calls for combining dry ingredients with most or all liquid ingredients in one step.
More elaborate cakes, such as Caramel Walnut Banana Torte, should be prepared using the traditional cake mixing method. With this method, sugar and the shortening, butter or margarine are thoroughly mixed (creamed) before other ingredients are added.
For all cakes, mixing times may change because your KitchenAid
®
stand mixer works more quickly than other mixers. In general, mixing a cake with the KitchenAid
®
stand mixer will take about half the time called for in most cake recipes.
To help determine the ideal mixing time, observe the batter or dough and mix only until it has the desired appearance described in your recipe, such as “smooth and creamy.”
To select the best mixing speeds, use the “Speed Control Guide ­10-Speed Mixers” section.
Adding Ingredients
Always add ingredients as close to side of bowl as possible, not directly into moving beater. The Pouring Shield can be used to simplify adding ingredients. NOTE: If ingredients in very bottom of bowl are not thoroughly mixed, then the beater is not far enough into the bowl. See “Beater to Bowl Clearance” section.
Cake Mixes
When preparing packaged cake mixes, use Speed 2 for low speed, Speed 4 for medium speed, and Speed 6 for high speed. For best results, mix for the time stated on the package directions.
Adding Nuts, Raisins, or Candied Fruits
Follow individual recipes for guidelines on including these ingredients. In general, solid materials should be folded in the last few seconds of mixing on STIR Speed. The batter should be thick enough to keep the fruit or nuts from sinking to the bottom of the pan during baking. Sticky fruits should be dusted with flour for better distribution in the batter.
Liquid Mixtures
Mixtures containing large amounts of liquid ingredients should be mixed at lower speeds to avoid splashing. Increase speed only after mixture has thickened.
11
Egg Whites
Place room temperature egg whites in clean, dry bowl. Attach bowl and wire whip. To avoid splashing, gradually turn to designated speed and whip to desired stage. See chart below.
AMOUNT SPEED
1 egg white .....GRADUALLY to 10
2-4 egg whites......GRADUALLY to 8
6 or more
egg whites......GRADUALLY to 8
Whipping Stages
With your KitchenAid®stand mixer, egg whites whip quickly. So, watch to avoid overwhipping. This list tells you what to expect.
Frothy
Large, uneven air bubbles.
Begins to Hold Shape
Air bubbles are fine and compact; product is white.
Soft Peak
Tips of peaks fall over when wire whip is removed.
Almost Stiff
Sharp peaks form when wire whip is removed, but whites are actually soft.
Stiff but not Dry
Sharp, stiff peaks form when wire whip is removed. Whites are uniform in color and glisten.
Stiff and Dry
Sharp, stiff peaks form when wire whip is removed. Whites are speckled and dull in appearance.
Whipped Cream
Pour cold whipping cream into chilled bowl. Attach bowl and wire whip. To avoid splashing, gradually turn to designated speed and whip to desired stage. See chart below.
AMOUNT SPEED
1
4 cup (50 mL) .....GRADUALLY to 10
1
2 cup (125 mL) ...GRADUALLY to 10
1 cup (250 mL) .....GRADUALLY to 8
1 pint (500 mL).....GRADUALLY to 8
Whipping Stages
Watch cream closely during whipping. Because your KitchenAid®stand mixer whips so quickly, there are just a few seconds between whipping stages. Look for these characteristics:
Begins to Thicken
Cream is thick and custard-like.
Holds its Shape
Cream forms soft peaks when wire whip is removed. Can be folded into other ingredients when making desserts and sauces.
Stiff
Cream stands in stiff, sharp peaks when wire whip is removed. Use for topping on cakes or desserts, or filling for cream puffs.

“Rapid Mix” describes a bread baking method that calls for dry yeast to be mixed with other dry ingredients before liquid is added. In contrast, the traditional method is to dissolve yeast in warm water.
1. Place all dry ingredients including yeast into bowl, except last 1 to 2 cups (250 mL to 500 mL) flour.
2. Attach bowl and PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook. Raise mixer bowl. Turn to Speed 2 and mix about 15 seconds, or until ingredients are combined.
3. Continuing on Speed 2, gradually add liquid ingredients to flour mixture and mix 1 to 2 minutes longer. See Illustration A.
NOTE: If liquid ingredients are added too quickly, they will form a pool around the PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook and slow down mixing process.
4. Continuing on Speed 2, gently add remaining flour, 1⁄2 cup (125 mL) at a time. See Illustration B. Mix until dough starts to clean sides of bowl, about 2 minutes.
5. Knead on Speed 2 for 2 more minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic. See Illustration C.
6. Lower bowl on mixer and remove dough from the bowl and PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook. Follow directions in recipe for rising, shaping and baking.
When using the traditional method to prepare a favorite recipe, dissolve yeast in warm water in warmed bowl. Add remaining liquids and dry ingredients, except last 1 to 2 cups 2 cups (250 mL to 500 mL) flour. Turn to Speed 2 and mix about 1 minute, or until ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Proceed with steps 4 through 6.
Both methods work equally well for bread preparation. However, the “Rapid Mix” method may be a bit faster and easier for new bread bakers. It is slightly more temperature tolerant because the yeast is mixed with dry ingredients rather than with warm liquid.

YEAST BREADS AND QUICK BREADS

Bread Making Tips
Making bread with a mixer is quite different from making bread by hand. Therefore, it will take some practice before you are completely comfortable with the new process. For your convenience, we offer these tips to help you become accustomed to bread making the KitchenAid®brand way.
• Start out with an easy recipe,
such as Basic White Bread, see “Basic White Bread,” until you are familiar with using the PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook.
• ALWAYS use the PowerKnead™
Spiral Dough Hook to mix and knead yeast doughs.
• Use Speed 2 to mix or knead
yeast doughs. Use of any other speed creates high potential for stand mixer failure.
• Do not use recipes calling for
more than 14 cups (3.3 L) all­purpose flour or 8 cups (2 L) whole wheat flour when making dough with a 6 qt (5.68 L) mixer.
• Do not use recipes calling for
more than 12 cups (3 L) all­purpose flour or 6 cups (1.4 L) whole wheat flour when making dough with a 5 qt (4.73 L) mixer.
• Use a candy or other kitchen
thermometer to assure that liquids are at a temperature specified in the recipe. Liquids at higher temperature can kill yeast, while liquids at lower temperatures will retard yeast growth.
• Warm all ingredients to room
temperature to insure proper rising of dough. If yeast is to be dissolved in bowl, always warm bowl first by rinsing with warm water to avoid cooling of liquids.
• Allow bread to rise in a warm place, 80°F to 85°F (27°C to 30°C), free from draft, unless otherwise specified in recipe.
• Here are some alternative rising methods to use: (1) The bowl containing the dough can be placed on a wire rack over a pan of hot water. (2) The bowl can be placed on the top rack of an unheated oven; put a pan of hot water on the rack below. (3) Turn the oven to 400°F (200°C) for 1 minute; then turn it off; place the bowl on the center rack of the oven and close the door.
• Cover bowl with waxed paper, if desired. Always cover with towel to retain warmth in the bowl and keep the dough away from drafts.
• Recipe rising times may vary due to temperature and humidity in your kitchen. Dough has doubled in bulk when indentation remain
• Most bread recipes give a range for the amount of flour to be used. Enough flour has been added when the dough starts to clean sides of bowl. If dough is sticky or humidity is high, slowly add more flour, about ¹⁄₂ cup (125 mL) at a time but do not exceed recommended flour capacity. Knead after each addition until flour is completely worked into dough. If too much flour is added, a dry loaf will result.
• When done, yeast breads and rolls should be deep golden brown in color. Other tests for doneness of breads are: Bread pulls away from the sides of pan, and tapping on the top of the loaf produces a hollow sound. Turn loaves and rolls onto racks immediately after baking to avoid sogginess.
55
Divide dough in half. On lightly floured surface, roll each half into a rectangle, approximately 9 x 14" (23 x 36 cm). A rolling pin will smooth dough and remove gas bubbles.
Starting at a short end, roll dough tightly. Pinch dough to seal seam.
Pinch ends and turn under. Place, seam side down, in loaf pan. Follow directions in recipe for rising and baking.

Utilisation des accessoires KitchenAid
®
Batteur plat pour les mélanges ordinaires ou épais :
gâteaux biscuits anglais glaçages crémeux pains éclairs friandises pains de viande biscuits purée de pommes de terre pâte à tarte
Fouet en métal pour les mélanges exigeant l’incorporation d’air :
œufs gâteaux éponge blancs d'œufs gâteaux des anges crème épaisse mayonnaise glaçages cuits certaines friandises
Crochet pétrisseur spiralé PowerKnead™ pour mélanger et pétrir la pâte levée :
pains brioches pains mollets petits pains pâte à pizza
Durée de mélange
Votre batteur sur socle KitchenAid
®
mélange plus rapidement et plus efficacement que la plupart des autres batteurs sur socle électriques. Cependant, il faut rajuster la durée de mélange pour la plupart des
recettes afin d’éviter le fouettage excessif. Pour les gâteaux, par exemple, la durée du fouettage peut être la moitié de celle requise par d’autres batteurs sur socle.
Utilisation du batteur
REMARQUE : Ne raclez pas les
parois du bol pendant que le batteur sur socle fonctionne.
Le bol et le batteur sont conçus pour assurer un mélange efficace sans racler fréquemment les parois du bol. Il suffit généralement de les racler une ou deux fois au cours du mélange, en arrêtant d’abord l’appareil.
Le batteur sur socle peut devenir chaud durant l’utilisation. Lors de la préparation de mélanges épais pendant une période prolongée, il se peut que le dessus de l’appareil soit inconfortable au toucher. Il s’agit d’un phénomène normal.
Risque de blessure
Débrancher le batteur avant de toucher aux fouets.
Le non-respect de cette instruction peut entraîner des fractures dos, des coupures ou des bleus.
AVERTISSEMENT

Le bol, le batteur plat blanc et le crochet pétrisseur spiralé blanc sont lavables au lave-vaisselle automatique. Vous pouvez aussi les laver soigneusement dans l’eau chaude savonneuse en prenant soin de bien les rincer avant de les essuyer. Le fouet en métal, le crochet pétrisseur spiralé poli et le batteur plat poli doivent être lavés à la main et séchés immédiatement. Ne lavez pas le fouet en métal, le crochet pétrisseur spiralé poli ni le batteur plat poli au lave-vaisselle. Ne laissez pas les batteurs sur l’axe.
REMARQUE : Assurez-vous de toujours débrancher le batteur sur socle avant de le nettoyer. Essuyez le batteur sur socle avec un chiffon doux humide. N’utilisez pas de nettoyants domestiques ou commerciaux. N’immergez pas le batteur dans l’eau. Essuyez fréquemment l’axe du batteur en éliminant les résidus qui risquent de s’accumuler.
Entretien et nettoyage
9
1. Débranchez le batteur sur socle.
2. Tournez le levier de l’élévateur de bol vers le bas.
3. Insérez le batteur plat.
4. Rajustez le dégagement pour qu’en position élevée le batteur plat soit juste à ras du fond du bol sans le toucher. Tournez la vis (A) dans le sens antihoraire pour élever le bol et dans le sens horaire pour l’abaisser. Il suffit de tourner très légèrement la vis, qui ne bougera pas de plus d’un quart de tour (90 degrés) dans chaque direction. (La plage complète de réglage est un demi-tour, ou 180 degrés.)
5. Tournez le levier de l’élévateur de bol vers le haut pour vérifier le dégagement.
6. Répéter les étapes 4 et 5 si nécessaire.
REMARQUE : Correctement réglé, le batteur plat ne doit pas toucher le fond ni les côtés du bol. Si le batteur plat ou le fouet en métal est si près du bol qu’il en touche le fond, le revêtement du batteur ou du fouet en métal risque de s’user.
Dégagement entre le batteur et le bol
Votre batteur sur socle est réglé à l’usine de façon à ce que le batteur plat soit à ras du fond du bol sans le toucher. Si, pour une raison ou pour une autre, le batteur plat touche le fond du bol ou est trop éloigné du bol, vous pouvez facilement rajuster le dégagement.

10 FOUETTER Pour fouetter les petites quantités de crème
RAPIDEMENT ou de blancs d'œufs, ou pour le dernier
fouettage de la purée de pommes de terre. Utilisez cette vitesse avec la machine à pâtes et le moulin à grains. REMARQUE : Ne maintient pas les vitesses rapides en cas de mélanges épais, comme lors de l’utilisation de la machine à pâtes ou du moulin à grains.
Utilisez la 2e vitesse pour mélanger ou pétrir la pâte levée. L’utilisation de toute autre vitesse risque d’endommager l’appareil. Le crochet pétrisseur spiralé PowerKnead™ permet de pétrir efficacement la plupart des pâtes levées en quatre minutes.

Conseils pour l’utilisation du batteur
Adaptation d’une recette au batteur
Les directives de mélange des recettes offertes dans ce manuel peuvent vous aider à préparer vos recettes préférées à l’aide de votre batteur sur socle KitchenAid®. Recherchez les recettes KitchenAid
®
semblables aux vôtres et adaptez vos recettes en fonction de leurs directives.
Par exemple, la méthode de mélange rapide est idéale pour les gâteaux simples tels que le gâteau doré vite fait et le gâteau blanc facile dont la recette se trouve dans ce manuel. Cette méthode permet de combiner en une étape les ingrédients secs avec les ingrédients liquides, en tout ou en partie.
Les gâteaux plus élaborés, tels que la tourte caramélisée aux noix et aux bananes, doivent être préparés selon la méthode traditionnelle de mélange des gâteaux. Le sucre et le shortening, le beurre ou la margarine, doivent être soigneusement travaillés avant l’ajout des autres ingrédients.
Pour tous les gâteaux, la durée du mélange peut varier étant donné que le batteur sur socle KitchenAid®fonctionne plus rapidement que d’autres batteurs. En général, le mélange d’un gâteau à l’aide du batteur sur socle KitchenAid®ne prend qu’environ la moitié du temps indiqué dans la plupart des recettes de gâteaux.
Pour établir le temps de mélange idéal, surveillez la pâte et mélangez-la seulement jusqu’à l’obtention de l’apparence souhaitée, telle que décrite dans la recette, par exemple “lisse et crémeuse”. Afin de choisir les meilleures vitesses de mélange, consultez la section “Guide de réglage de la vitesse du batteur 10 vitesses”.
Ajout d’ingrédients
Ajoutez toujours les ingrédients le plus près possible des côtés du bol et non directement sous le batteur en mouvement. L’écran verseur peut être utilisé pour faciliter la tâche. REMARQUE : Si les ingrédients au fond du bol ne sont pas bien mélangés, le batteur n’est pas assez bas dans le bol. Voir la section “Dégagement entre le batteur et le bol”.
Mélanges à gâteau
Pour préparer des mélanges à gâteau instantanés, utilisez la 2e vitesse comme vitesse faible, la 4e vitesse comme vitesse moyenne et la 6e vitesse comme vitesse rapide. Pour de meilleurs résultats, mélangez la préparation pendant la durée indiquée sur l’emballage.
Ajout de noix, de raisins ou de fruits confits
Suivez les directives de chaque recette pour ajouter ces ingrédients. En général, les ingrédients solides doivent être incorporés à la fin du mélange à la vitesse STIR (remuer). La pâte doit être assez épaisse pour empêcher les fruits ou les noix de se déposer au fond du moule au cours de la cuisson. Les fruits collants doivent être saupoudrés de farine pour une meilleure distribution dans la pâte.
Mélanges liquides
Les préparations contenant de grandes quantités d’ingrédients liquides doivent être mélangées à une faible vitesse pour éviter les éclaboussures. Augmentez la vitesse seulement lorsque le mélange épaissit.

À l’aide de votre batteur sur socle KitchenAid®, les blancs d'œufs se fouettent rapidement. Il faut donc faire attention de ne pas fouetter à l’excès. Voici la liste des différents stades qu’il faut prévoir.
Consistance mousseuse
Grandes bulles d’air inégales.
Consistance un peu plus ferme
Les bulles d’air sont fines et compactes; le produit est blanc.
Pics mous
Le sommet des pics tombe lorsque vous retirez le fouet en métal.
Consistance presque ferme
Des pics fermes se forment lorsque vous retirez le fouet en métal, mais les blancs d'œufs sont mous.
Consistance ferme et non sèche
Des pics fermes se forment lorsque vous retirez le fouet en métal. Les blancs d'œufs sont d’une couleur uniforme et brillante.
Consistance ferme et sèche
Des pics fermes se forment lorsque vous retirez le fouet en métal. Les blancs d'œufs sont tachetés et d’apparence matte.
Crème fouettée
Versez la crème à fouetter froide dans le bol réfrigéré. Fixez le bol et le fouet en métal sur le batteur. Pour éviter les éclaboussures, réglez graduellement l’appareil sur la vitesse indiquée et fouettez jusqu’au stade désiré. Voir le tableau ci-dessous.

Stades du fouettage
Surveillez la crème de près quand vous la fouettez. Votre batteur sur socle KitchenAid®fouettant très rapidement, il s’écoule à peine quelques secondes entre les stades du fouettage. Surveillez les caractéristiques suivantes :
Épaississement graduel
La crème est épaisse et ressemble à de la crème pâtissière.
Consistance plus ferme
La crème forme des pics mous lorsque vous retirez le fouet en métal. Elle peut être incorporée à d’autres ingrédients dans la préparation de desserts et de sauces.
Consistance ferme
La crème forme des pics fermes lorsque vous retirez le fouet en métal. Utilisez-la pour garnir les gâteaux ou les desserts, ou pour remplir les choux à la crème.
