Speed ahead and reach perfection

You have a wide range of speeds to choose from on your stand mixer. This puts you in control, from slow stirring to kneading, beating and whipping.

Speed 1

For slow stirring, combining, mashing and starting all mixing procedures. Use to add flour and dry ingredients to batter, and to add liquids to dry ingredients. Do not use speed 1 to mix or knead yeast dough.

STIRRING

Speed 2

For slow mixing, mashing and faster stirring. Mix and knead yeast doughs, heavy batters and candies, start mashing potatoes or other vegetables, cut shortening into flour and mix thin or splashy batters (do not exceed speed 2 when kneading yeast doughs or you may damage the mixture).

SLOW MIXING
