• The whisk is designed to whip liquids, such as egg whites and cream. Do not use the whisk for mixing thick mixtures,
such as dough, fudge, or mashed potatoes.
• Your mixer is designed to whisk a minimum of 2 large egg whites or 1 cup of cream. Mixer performance is enhanced as
the tip of the whisk is immersed into the liquid. If smaller quantities are needed, a hand mixer is recommended.
