MAXIMUM CAPACITIES
FOR THE CUISINART™
STAND MIXER
TIPS AND HINTS
5.5 Quart Stand Mixer
• Before preheating the oven, adjust
shelves to accommodate your baking
task. 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.

• 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.

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

to speed 12. If egg whites are beaten too

will not be as stable and strong, and they
will not reach the volume that they should

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

whisk. Continue as directed in your recipe.

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.
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
