RECIPES
Mixing Tips
• Always read entire recipe and measure
all ingredients before beginning the
mixing process.
• For best results, do not measure flour
directly from the bag. Pour into a
container or bowl, scoop out the flour
and level with the back of a knife or
spatula. For flour stored in a container,
stir before measuring.
• Eggs, butter or cream cheese combine
more thoroughly at room temperature.
• Remove butter from refrigerator first
and cut into 1 ⁄ 2 -inch pieces, then
measure out remaining ingredients for
recipe. This will hasten the softening
process. Do not warm butter for baking
in a microwave unless instructed to do
so. Microwaving can melt butter; melted
butter will change the final product.
• The best cheesecakes are made
when the eggs and cream cheese
are a similar room temperature. While
the Cuisinart
® PowerSelect ™ hand mixer
can easily mix cold cream cheese, the
trick is not to add too much air, which can
cause cracking.
USE AND CARE

Cleaning and Removing Beaters
