Mixing texture: from combining to aerating

Low speeds help bring ingredients together with less splashing or flour dust. Higher settings are useful when the recipe calls for more vigorous beating or aeration. Cream, eggs and batters change visibly as air is incorporated: mixtures can become paler, thicker or more voluminous. Use the recipe and attachment type to decide when to stop rather than simply mixing for as long as possible.

Everyday uses

• Mixing cake and pancake batters.
• Whipping cream where the appropriate beaters or whisk are supplied.
• Beating eggs and combining dessert mixtures.
• Hand-guided mixing that lets you move the beaters around the bowl.
• Suitable dough preparation only where the model includes and supports dough hooks.

How to use

1. Fit the correct beaters, whisk or dough tools while disconnected.
2. Place ingredients in an appropriately sized bowl.
3. Start at a lower speed to combine ingredients.
4. Increase speed gradually when the recipe requires it.
5. Keep attachments clear of utensils and hands while moving.
6. Switch off and wait for movement to stop before ejecting attachments.

Do's

• Do begin slowly with dry ingredients.
• Do use the correct attachment for whipping, beating or dough.
• Do scrape the bowl only when the mixer is stopped.
• Do respect mixture quantity and operating-time limits.
• Do use model HR3740/11 when checking compatible attachments.

Don'ts

• Don't insert spoons or spatulas near moving beaters.
• Don't eject attachments while rotating.
• Don't overload the motor with mixtures beyond its intended consistency or quantity.
• Don't immerse the motor housing in water.
• Don't use bent or damaged beaters, whisks or dough hooks.

Cleaning and care

Disconnect before removing attachments. Wash compatible beaters, whisks or dough hooks according to the manual and wipe the motor housing without immersing it. Dried batter is harder to remove, so clean attachments soon after use and dry them before storage.

Hand mixer vs stand mixer

A hand mixer is compact, portable and easy to store. A stand mixer supports the bowl and tool, which can be more convenient for longer mixing tasks and larger batches. Choose according to recipe frequency, batch size, storage and the attachments you actually need.
