SOME USEFUL TIPS FOR THE HANDLING OF YOUR THERMOMIX

• For whipping cream chill cream and mixing bowl. Get your mixing bowl cooled by crushing ice with it and then remove crushed ice. Besides being cool, the mixing bowl has to be clean and free of grease as well.

• If there is enough time, simply put the mixing bowl in the fridge for a couple of hours. That is the easiest way to get it cool and ready for whipping cream and beating egg whites.

• For beating egg whites with the Thermomix the mixing bowl must be free of grease!

• While beating egg whites stiffly always add 1 pinch of salt. For more than 4 egg whites add 2 pinches of salt.

• The best way to store your butterfly wisk is in the freezer.

• Do not select a speed higher than level 4 when using the butterfly whisk!

• Heat milk or cream to a maximum of 90°C. It might boil over with the Thermomix working for a longer period of time

• For grinding solid ingredients like chocolate or bread use the turbo mode.

• Cooking a meal without chopping the ingredients first, use speed 1.
