MAXIMUM CAPACITIES FOR THE CUISINART™ STAND MIXER TIPS AND HINTS 5.5 Quart Stand Mixer Yeast dough 12 cups flour (most breads, pizza) Cookie dough 10 dozen cookies Whipping cream 6 cups Egg whites 12 • Before preheating the oven, adjust shelves to accommodate your baking task. Pies bake best when baked in the lower third of the oven.
• Line baking sheets with parchment for easy release and easy cleanup. • 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. • 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.
• Using too much liquid, or baking on a humid day, can cause your bread to fall or wrinkle on top. 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 refrigeratorcold). Room temperature ingredients incorporate and blend more easily. • Fill pans immediately after mixing. • Bake immediately after filling pans. • Check for doneness at the beginning of the time range given.
also be used for decorating using a pastry bag and tip. 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.
