• For best results, use heavy cream, cold
from the refrigerator, for whipped cream.
• For best results, whip egg whites in a
spotlessly clean stainless steel or glass
mixing bowl. If available, use a copper
mixing bowl.
• Chocolate chips, nuts, raisins, etc. can
be added using speeds 1 or 2 of your
hand mixer.
• To separate eggs for any recipe, break
them one at a time into a small bowl,
gently remove yolks, then transfer egg
whites to spotlessly clean mixing bowl.
If a yolk breaks into the egg white,
reserve that one for another use. Just
a drop of egg yolk in the white will pre-
vent the whites from whipping properly.
• To achieve the best volume when
whipping egg whites, the mixing bowl,
Chef’s Whisk attachment, and/or
beaters must be spotlessly clean and
free of any fat, oil, etc. (Plastic bowls
are not recommended for whipping egg
whites.) The presence of any trace of
fat or oil will prevent the egg whites
from increasing in volume. Wash bowl
and attachments thoroughly before
beginning again.
• Occasionally ingredients may stick to
the sides of the mixing bowl. When this
occurs, turn mixer off and scrape the
sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
