Food and Kitchen: Using Kitchen Mixers

 

A mixer is defined as kitchen utensil which repetitively automates or mimic the tasks of stirring, beating or whisking. A mixer is a handheld gear-driven mechanism, also known as eggbeater, and is made of rotating set of beaters that is used to stir, whisk or beat a bowl containing food. It comes in two forms, one is the handheld motorized beater used in a common household, and the other is a stand mixer that varies in size ranging from a small counter top to large capacity machines used commercially. Spiral mixer is a type of stand mixer specializing for mixing dough with a stationary spiral-shaped agitator in a rotating bowl.

1. Make sure that the eggs are at a room temperature (between 65-75 ? F or 18-23 ?C ).

 

2. Prepare using a deep bowl made of glass or ceramic to beat eggs. It is important to make sure that the whisk and bowl are completely clean because any residue of grease in your egg whites will not beat up not achieving its right consistency.

 

3. Carefully crack and break the egg in a half using your thumbs keeping the yolk of the egg in one of the eggshell halves, making sure the egg yolk doesn't break and drip into the bowl with the egg whites. You must be reminded, that the fat in the egg yolk may cause your whites not to beat up properly.

 

4. Now, use a whisk , power mixer from this link or mechanical egg beater to beat the egg whites until they're stiff but not dry-looking. To rapidly drive air into the egg whites, tilt the bowl and tilt the whisk wires to lay into the pool of egg whites without flapping your arm exhaustively.
