Mixing Guide

Please keep in mind that the various mixing tasks and related speeds, listed in the table below, may vary slightly from recipe to recipe.

Please refer to it regularly as you develop your understanding of how different ingredients interact when mixing.

NOTES: For most recipes, it is better to begin your mixing on a slower speed until the ingredients begin combining, then move to the appropriate speed range for the particular task. Generally there is no one set speed for an entire recipe. You will need to change the speed of the Mixmaster depending on what stage of the recipe you are working on. This is communicated in the recipe section.

When mixing larger quantities you may need to increase the Mixmaster speed due to the amount of mixing required and the larger load on the machine. When building up a recipe that requires the addition of dry ingredients, such as flour, slow the speed down whilst these ingredients are being added to avoid a snow storm effect. Once the extra ingredients begin combining then slowly increase to the appropriate speed for the particular mixing task.

8

For your information, the following temperature settings are included as a guide. These settings may need to be adjusted to suit the individual range.

Note: If using fan forced ovens be sure to turn the temperature down by 20-30°C. Also check recipes at the back of this book.

Hazelnut & Cashew Torte6 egg whites4 egg yolks3/4 cup nutella100g dark chocolate, melted1/2 cup plain flour100g hazelnut meal1/2 cup crushed cashews

Topping:250g dark chocolate melted250g cream heated100g whole hazelnuts, toasted, skins

removed100g whole cashews, toasted

1. Preheat oven 160°C. Grease and line 20cm round cake tin.

2. In the large Mixmaster bowl whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form, on very High speed (10-12). Remove from bowl and set aside.

3. Using the large Mixmaster bowl once again, beat egg yolks, nutella and 100g melted chocolate together on Medium speed (5). Add flour, hazelnut meal, crushed cashews and fold in the egg whites using Low speed (1-3).

4. Pour into the prepared cake tin and bake 40-45 minutes.

5. Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing cake from pan and cool on a wire rack.

6. Combine the melted chocolate and heated cream together. Stir until smooth and allow to cool. As mixture cools it will become thick and glossy.

7. Spoon topping over the cake. Top with cashews and hazelnuts. Serve in thin wedges.

Pavlova 6 egg whites11/2 cups caster sugar3 teaspoons vinegar11/2 tablespoons cornflour3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract1. Preheat oven to 120°C. Grease and flour

30cm round tray.2. Using the large Mixmaster bowl

ensuring that it is dry and clean, whip the egg whites until stiff on very High speed (10-12).

3. On very High speed (10-12) gradually add the sugar, a teaspoon at a time to start. Beat well between each addition. As mixture thickens add the sugar more quickly. This should take approximately 8-10 minutes mixing time.

4. Reduce to Low speed (1-2) and fold through vinegar, cornflour and vanilla. Continue mixing until mixture is stiff and glossy, approximately 8-10 minutes.

5. Spread half of the pavlova mixture onto a prepared tray. Pipe the remaining mixture to form a border.

6. Bake for 1¼ - 1½ hours. If able, turn oven off and allow to cool in oven overnight or for a few hours.

Serving suggestion: Decorate as desired. Fresh cream and lots

of fresh berries is my favourite. Sprinkled with icing sugar to finish off.
