• It may also be used for any task that you would normally whisk by
hand, like crêpe batters or eggs for omelets.
• Beating the egg whites too long causes them to dry out and become
less stable.
• When adding sugar to beaten egg whites, add it slowly when soft
peaks just begin to form, and then continue beating to form desired
peaks.
• When beating heavy cream, if possible and time allows, use a chilled
bowl and chill the whisk attachment. The best-shaped bowl for
whipping cream is one that is deep with a rounded bottom to minimize
any splatter.
• The cream should come out of the refrigerator just before whipping.
Whipped cream may be used at either soft or firm peaks depending
on preference. It may be flavored as desired. For best results, whip
cream just before using.
FOR KNIFE ATTACHMENT
• Do not press down when carving or slicing; let the motion of the
blades control the cutting.
• When slicing bread, keep the blades at a right angle to the cutting
board for consistent thickness.
• Be careful to avoid bones when carving meat or poultry; they could
damage the cutting edges of blades.
• When carving or slicing with one hand, be sure to keep the other hand
(which is often holding the item being cut) away from the blades.
