the mixing tools and some of their uses
For making cakes, biscuits, pastry, icing, fillings, éclairs and mashed
potato.
For eggs, cream, batters, fatless sponges, meringues, cheesecakes,
mousses, soufflés. Don’t use the whisk for heavy mixtures (eg creaming
fat and sugar) - you could damage it.

the whisk or bowl.
Use cold ingredients for pastry unless your recipe says otherwise.
points for bread making
Never exceed the maximum capacities below - you’ll overload the
machine.
If you hear the machine labouring, switch off, remove half the dough
and do each half separately.
The ingredients mix best if you put the liquid in first.
