06 DESCRIPTION OF ACCESSORIES

Kneading Hook (c1)

The hook is used when making all types of bread or yeast dough and takes all the hard work out kneading. The planetary action ensures a smooth, elastic dough. Use it for bread, rolls, buns, pizza, pasta dough and sweet dough including yeast batter doughs for savarin, kugelhopf and rum babas.

Mixer blade (c2)

This is the attachment that is most frequently used. You can use it for mixing cake mixtures either by the creamed or all-in-one method, making pastry, for rubbed-in mixtures such as crumbles and rock cakes, mashed potatoes, biscuit dough, choux pastry, icing and crumbing biscuits for cheesecakes and biscuit crumb flan cases.

Whisk (c3)

The shape of the whisk is designed to incorporate the maximum amount of air into the food. Use for whisking egg whites, meringues, whipping cream, batters mixtures, mayonnaise, whipped desserts such as soufflés and mousses, cheesecakes, and whisked sponges. Do not use the whisk for heavy mixtures, such as creaming fat and sugar, as you could damage it.

Blender (d)

Ideal for blending and puréeing soups and sauces, making frothy milkshakes, smoothies and cocktails, puréeing soft fruits or cooked vegetables and fruit, making batters and mayonnaise. The stainless steel jug, apart from being stylish, has the advantage of keeping the ingredients cool which is ideal when making smoothies, cocktails and milkshakes. It can blend up to 1.5 litres.

Mincer (e) (Available as an additional accessory)

This accessory enables you to mince your own meat, game, poultry and fish to make burgers, fish cakes, pâtés, terrines and minced meat for chilli-con-carne, bolonnaise sauce, Shepherds pie, meatballs, etc. There are two

Accessories included are:

Stainless steel bowl

	Splash guard
	Blender
	Kneading hook
	Mixer blade
	Whisk
	Spatula
	Dough Cutter

different sizes of mincing screens – medium and coarse.

Mini-chopper (f) (Available as an additional accessory)

Useful for chopping cloves of garlic, herbs, parsley, cooked ham, small amounts of bread for breadcrumbs and baby food.

Note: the mini-chopper is not designed to grind coffee beans or hard spices.

Grinder (g) (Available as an additional accessory)

Grinds spices, pepper, dried figs and dried fruit in seconds.

Note: the grinder is not designed to grind coffee beans. A separate coffee grinder is available to purchase.

Stainless steel bowl (b1)

The large capacity bowl is made of stainless steel which has the advantage of staying cool when whipping cream, making pastry and whisking egg whites. The bowl has handles to assist when scraping out food and is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

Splash guard (b2)

The splashguard stops powdery food like flour from producing a cloud of powder when mixing. It also prevents any splashes from liquid being mixed in the bowl. There is an opening at the front so that additional ingredients can be spooned directly into the bowl during mixing. The accessory can easily be changed without having to remove the splashguard.

Spatula (h)

The flexible spatula is designed to fit the contours of the bowl and scrape every last bit of mixture out.

Dough cutter (i)

An extremely useful tool, for cutting bread and biscuit dough. Make up a batch of dough and divide it into portions using the dough cutter.
