RECIPES
ingredients together
Mixing Tips
• Combine dry ingredients
• Cream butter and sugar to mix
• Mix heavy cookie doughs
• Mash potatoes/squash
• Add nuts, chips, dried fruit to
doughs and batters
• Add flour to batters, or liquids to dry
ingredients
• Start mixing frostings
• Start mixing cake mixes
• Always read entire recipe and measure
all ingredients before beginning the
mixing process.
• For best results, do not measure flour
directly from the bag. Pour into a
container or bowl, scoop out the flour
and level with the back of a knife or
spatula. For flour stored in a container,
stir before measuring.
• Eggs, butter or cream cheese combine
more thoroughly at room temperature.
• Remove butter for recipe first and cut
into 1/2-inch pieces, then measure out
remaining ingredients for recipe.
This will hasten the warming process.
Do not warm butter for baking in a
microwave unless instructed to do
so. Microwaving can melt butter; melted
butter will change the final product.
• The best cheesecakes are made
when the eggs and cream cheese
are a similar room temperature. While
Cleaning and Removing Beaters
1. Before cleaning the PowerSelect™
Mixer, set the speed control switch
to OFF and unplug it from the wall
outlet. Press down on the beater
eject button and remove beaters
from the mixer. Wash the beaters
after each use in hot, soapy water
or in a dishwasher.

2. NEVER PUT THE MOTOR
HOUSING IN WATER OR OTHER
LIQUID TO CLEAN. Wipe with a
damp cloth or sponge. Do not use
abrasive cleansers, which could
scratch the surface.

the Cuisinart® hand mixer can easily
mix cold cream cheese, the trick is
not to add too much air, which can
cause cracking.
• For best results, use heavy cream, cold
from the refrigerator, for whipped cream.
• For best results, whip egg whites in a
spotlessly clean stainless steel or glass
mixing bowl. If available, use a copper
mixing bowl. Chocolate chips, nuts,
raisins, etc. can be added using
speeds 1 or 2 of your hand mixer.
• To separate eggs for any recipe, break
them one at a time into a small bowl,
gently remove yolks, then transfer egg
whites to spotlessly clean mixing bowl.
If a yolk breaks into the egg white,
reserve that one for another use. Just
a drop of egg yolk in the white will pre-
vent the whites from whipping properly.
• To achieve the best volume when
whipping egg whites, the mixing bowl
and beaters must be spotlessly clean
and free of any fat, oil, etc. (Plastic
bowls are not recommended for whip-
ping egg whites.) The presence of any
trace of fat or oil will prevent the egg
whites from increasing in volume. Wash
bowl and attachments thoroughly
before beginning again.
• Occasionally ingredients may stick to
the sides of the mixing bowl. When this
occurs, turn mixer off and scrape the
sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
18–20 minutes for regular muffins, 14–16
minutes for mini muffins, until lightly
browned and springy to touch in the

Butter. (Muffins may be made ahead and

While potatoes bake, prepare the
topping by mixing the remaining
ingredients in a bowl. Sprinkle the
topping evenly over the potatoes and
bake about 10 minutes longer, until
golden brown and crispy.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pierce each
potato several times with a fork or knife
tip; rub each potato with 1⁄4 teaspoon of
the olive oil. Bake the potatoes in the
preheated oven until fork tender, about

cut off the top third of each potato and
scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1⁄4-inch
shell. Place potato flesh in large mixing
