Pies bake best when baked in the   lower third of the oven.   Yeast dough   12 cups flour   (most breads, pizza)   10 dozen cookies   Cookie dough   Whipping cream   Egg whites   6 cups   12   • Carefully follow each mixing step in a   recipe. Take care not to over- or under-   mix. Make use of the Countdown Timer   feature of the Cuisinart™ Stand Mixer to   help with suggested mixing times.   TROUBLESHOOTING   • Don’t crowd the oven, and avoid opening   the oven door during baking – use the   oven light to help you watch. With certain   recipes, particularly cookies, when baking   more than one pan in the oven at a time,   rotate pans halfway through the baking   cycle.   1. Problem: The accessories knock   against the bottom of the bowl or are not   reaching the ingredients at the bottom of   the bowl.   Solution: Adjust the height by doing the   following:   • Proper measurements are very important   when baking. To measure flour correctly,   stir the flour first, then spoon into the   measuring cup. Level off the top with the   blunt side of a knife blade or the handle   of a spoon. Do not press or compact   flour. It is also very important not to   measure directly from the bag – while the   flour is pre-sifted, it has been pressed/   compacted to fit into the bag. Baked   goods made from unstirred flour are likely   to be heavy and dry because too much   flour is used.   • Detach the accessory.   • Hold and loosen the nut as shown.   • Remove butter from the refrigerator and   cut into ½-inch pieces to help it come   to room temperature faster while you   measure out the remaining ingredients.   Do not warm butter in the microwave; this   can change the structure of the butter if   it melts and give the finished product a   different texture.   • For ideal operation, the chef’s whisk   and flat mixing paddle should be   almost touching the bottom of   the bowl.   • Raise the stand mixer head, hold the   accessory in place, and tighten.   • To separate eggs for use in any recipe,   break them one at a time into a small   bowl. Gently remove the yolks, then   transfer the whites to a spotlessly clean   glass or stainless bowl. If a yolk breaks   into a white, use that egg for another   recipe. Just a drop of egg yolk in the   white prevents the white from whipping   properly.   2. Problem: Your stand mixer has an   overload protection device and if   overloaded, it will shut down to protect   the motor.   Solution: In the unlikely even that this   happens:   • Turn off and unplug the unit.   • Reduce the load by removing some of   the ingredients, and allow the mixer to   stand for a few minutes.   8 Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   • For whipping egg whites, both the mixing   bowl and chef’s whisk must be spotlessly   clean and dry. Any trace of fat or oil will   prevent the egg whites from whipping   properly.   • Line baking sheets with parchment for   easy release and easy cleanup.   • Let cookies rest on sheets for 2 to 3   minutes before removing them to a wire   rack to cool. This keeps cookies from   wrinkling, crumbling or breaking.   • To check the freshness of eggs, place   them in a bowl of warm water – if they   float, they are not fresh.   • Cookies must cool completely before   being put into storage containers to avoid   them becoming soggy and misshapen.   • To melt chocolate for a recipe, place   chopped chocolate in a double boiler   insert or larger bowl over a pan of barely   simmering hot water. The water should   not boil, nor should it touch the bottom of   the double boiler insert or bowl. If it does,   this could cause the chocolate to “seize”   and you will not be able to use it in your   recipe.   BREAD BAKING   • One ¼-ounce packet of yeast equals   2¼ teaspoons yeast.   • Using milk in place of water will produce a   softer crust.   • After baking, you can soften the crust, if   desired, by rubbing it with unsalted butter   soon after removing it from the oven. This   prevents it from drying out too quickly.   • Always test yeast for freshness before   using it in a recipe. Sprinkle a little over   warm (105-110°F) water from recipe and   add a pinch of sugar or flour from the   recipe. If it does not become foamy/   bubbly in 5 to 10 minutes, the yeast may   be “dead.” Start over with fresh yeast   from a new package.   • If a recipe calls for a specific type of flour,   used the flour recommended. If you do   not have bread flour, you can substitute   unbleached, all-purpose flour, but your   bread may not rise quite as much.   • For mixing yeast doughs, begin by using   the flat mixing paddle. When starting a   recipe, dough is thinner and more like   a batter and mixes more efficiently and   smoothly with a paddle. After a very thick,   smooth batter forms, switch to the dough   hook to complete the recipe.   • Do not use “lite” or tub margarines for   bread baking – the first ingredient is often   water and they do not work well in any   baking.   • Vital gluten is the dried protein taken from   the flour by eliminating the starch. It is a   good dough conditioner or enhancement   for yeast breads, especially for whole   grain breads or when using all-purpose   flour. If a recipe specifically calls for vital   gluten, we recommend that it be used for   best results.   COOKIE BAKING   • Use an ice cream scoop to measure out   cookie dough – this keeps the cookies   evenly shaped and uniform in size. We   recommend ice cream scoops in several   sizes – #’s 40, 50 and 60, as well as a   • For 100% whole wheat bread use 1½   teaspoons vital gluten per cup of flour.   larger one (about 1   ⁄3 to ½ cup) for jumbo   • Lite salt can be used if it has both   potassium chloride and sodium.   cookies. Ice cream scoops, also known   as “dishers” are also good for filling   muffin tins. Use a #16 ice cream scoop to   make muffins or meatballs.   • Many bread recipes have a “range”   amount of flour – start by using the lower   end of the range, then add more flour as   needed to produce a smooth, not sticky   dough.   • To better maintain cookie shapes, put   scoops of cookie dough onto sheets of   waxed paper or plastic wrap on a tray and   chill before baking. Most cookie dough   can be refrigerated for 2 to 3 days prior to   baking – be sure to wrap well.   • Before measuring molasses or honey,   oil the measuring spoon to help it run   off better.   • Cookie dough may also be frozen. Shape   into individual cookies, double wrap and   freeze for up to 3 months.   • To produce a higher loaf of bread, use   water that potatoes have been cooked in.   9 Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

If adding less than ¼ cup (4   wrinkle on top.   tablespoons), add it in the beginning at the   raw white stage. For larger amounts, add   sugar slowly and gradually to the whipped   egg whites after they reach soft peak   stage. Always add sugar in a slow steady   stream while egg whites are being whipped   – do not add sugar directly to the center   of the bowl on top of beaten egg whites;   doing this may cause them to deflate.   CAKE BAKING   • Have all ingredients and mixing bowls at   room temperature (BUT when preparing   whipped cream as a topping, bowl, chef’s   whisk, and cream should be refrigerator-   cold). Room temperature ingredients   incorporate and blend more easily.   When whipping egg whites, they will at   first appear foamy or frothy. Then they   will become stiffer and start to hold their   shape. Next, soft peaks will form – this is   when the tips of the peaks fall when the   whisk is lifted up – soft peaks are often   required for mousses or soufflés. The next   stage is almost stiff to stiff peaks. This is   used for recipes such as meringues – the   whites will appear dry, the peaks will hold   their shape, and the whites will be shiny.   The final stage is stiff and dry. The whites   will not be uniformly white, but will appear   speckled, and they will no longer be shiny   in appearance.   • Fill pans immediately after mixing.   • Bake immediately after filling pans.   • Check for doneness at the beginning of   the time range given.   • Cool cakes completely on a wire rack   after baking.   • Using an offset spatula will make   spreading frosting easier.   Egg Whites   Egg whites at room temperature are best   for whipping. Bring to temperature safely   by placing eggs in a bowl of warm water for   10 to 15 minutes.   Beaten egg whites should be used   Add a small amount of acid such as cream   of tartar, lemon juice or vinegar when   immediately after beating them. If they wait   for longer than 5 minutes, they will begin to   deflate and lose volume and structure. Egg   whites beaten with sugar or cream of tartar   are more stable and will last a little longer.   whipping egg whites to stabilize them and   allow them to reach their optimum volume   and stiffness. Use 1   ⁄8 teaspoon cream of   tartar per large egg white – or 1 teaspoon   cream of tartar per cup of egg whites (8 to   10 large).   Sanitizing Egg Whites   Take care when adding raw egg whites to   recipes that are not cooked or baked as   there is a chance they may carry harm-   ful bacteria. If you have a recipe that calls   for raw egg whites, you may wish to use   powdered egg whites or “sanitize” the egg   whites by doing the following: Place the   egg whites, 2 tablespoons of the granulat-   ed sugar from your recipe, 2 tablespoons   water, and a pinch of cream of tartar in   the Cuisinart™ mixing bowl and stir until   smooth. Place over the pan of simmering   water and stir constantly with a spotlessly   The time required to whip egg whites   will vary with the temperature of the   egg whites, age of egg whites, and   temperature/humidity of the kitchen. Keep   a close watch while whipping egg whites.   In humid or damp weather, you may not get   the volume of whipped egg whites that you   do in drier, warmer weather.   Place the room temperature egg whites   in the clean, dry mixing bowl. Attach the   clean, dry chef’s whisk. Start whipping the   egg whites and gradually increase to speed clean rubber spatula until the mixture   6 until foamy, and then gradually increase   to speed 12. If egg whites are beaten too   rapidly in the beginning, their structure   will not be as stable and strong, and they   will not reach the volume that they should   when completely beaten. Over-beaten   egg whites will also separate or weep in a   meringue topping.   registers 160°F on an instant-read ther-   mometer – start checking the temperature   after about a minute of stirring. When the   egg white mixture registers 160°F, dry off   the bottom of the bowl and place on the   Cuisinart™ stand mixer. Insert the chef’s   whisk.

Using gelatin or a purchased   stabilizer will prevent whipped cream from   weeping.   WHIPPING CREAM   The difference between heavy cream and   whipping cream is the butterfat content.   The higher the butterfat content, the   more stable the whipped cream. Heavy   cream has a higher butterfat content than   whipping cream does. Light cream may   also be whipped, but will not last as long.   Creams that are not ultra-pasteurized are   best for whipping.   To make stabilized whipped cream, soften   gelatin by sprinkling it over water in a   measuring cup. Let stand 5 minutes to   soften. Then place the measuring cup in   a pan of simmering water and stir over   low heat until gelatin is dissolved. Let cool   slightly before adding to cream – but do not   allow to get cold and harden.   The yield of cream generally doubles in   volume. To make 2 cups of softly whipped   cream, pour 1 cup of heavy/whipping   cream into the well-chilled mixing bowl.   Starting on speed 1 and increasing to   speed 10 or 12, whip until it just begins to   hold its shape. Add about ½ teaspoon pure   vanilla or other pure flavored extract and 1   to 2 tablespoons granulated or superfine   sugar. Whip until the cream holds soft,   floppy peaks.   • For 1 cup of cream, use ½ teaspoon   gelatin soaked in 1 tablespoon water.   • For 2 cups of cream, use 1 teaspoon   gelatin soaked in 2 tablespoons water.   • For 8 cups of cream, use 1 tablespoon   + 1 teaspoon gelatin soaked in 8   tablespoons water.   Follow basic whipping instructions, adding   cooled gelatin mixture to cream all at once   after it as whipped to a slightly thickened   stage.   To make whipped cream   • Start with well-chilled cream, mixing bowl   and chef’s whisk (place bowl and whisk   in freezer for at least 15 minutes before   making whipped cream). The room should   not be too hot.   OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS   AND ACCESSORIES   Your Cuisinart™ Stand Mixer has three power   outlets – two on the top and one on the   front – for a variety of attachments that can   be purchased separately.   • Whip cream on low speeds until small   bubbles foam – this will take about 30   seconds.   • Gradually increase to speed 6 and   continue beating until the whisk leaves a   trail.   Simplify your life, and save valuable counter   space, by using your stand mixer as a power   source for these versatile attachments:   • If you are making a sweetened, flavored   whipped cream, begin to slowly add   the sugar and flavorings as the cream   becomes soft and billowy in appearance.   Pasta Maker – makes delicious homemade   pasta. Includes six pasta plates, from   spaghetti to lasagna.   Large Meat Grinder – grinds a variety of   meats, vegetables, and cheeses. Includes 3   grinding plates and 2 nozzles for making   homemade sausage.   • Increase to speed 8 or 10 – but do not   look away – it takes just seconds for   cream to go from smooth and creamy   whipped cream to whipped cream with   grainy bits of butter forming.   40-ounce Glass Blender – blends frozen   drinks, smoothies and shakes, and even   purées soups and sauces.   • Stop whipping cream when it has   doubled in volume – it should be smooth,   creamy and thick, forming either soft (for   garnishing desserts, folding into desserts)   or stiff (for topping cakes, desserts,   piping decoratively) peaks.   Citrus Juicer – extracts nutritious juice from   all your favorite citrus fruits.   Food Processor – chops, purées, slices,   and shreds in clear 3-cup work bowl.   Includes a chopping blade and a reversible   slicing/shredding disc.   • Unless stabilized, whipped cream should   be served immediately.   Stabilized whipped cream   Stabilized whipped cream will hold longer   in the refrigerator before using, and it can   11   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.
