USE AND CARE
QUICK
• Whip egg whites
REFERENCE CHART
• Complete whipping cream
• Whip butter or cream cheese to light
and fluffy consistency for dips
and spreads
Inserting Beaters

hole. Push beater in until it clicks
into place. Insert the beater without
collar into the smaller hole. Push

be set on the lowest speed when you
start mixing.
RECIPES
Speed 1
• Start mixing most ingredients together
• 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
Mixing Tips
• 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.
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.
• Add flour to batters, or liquids to
dry ingredients
• Start mixing frostings
• Start mixing cake mixes
• Add eggs to batters/doughs
• Start to whip potatoes/squash
• Mix pudding batters
• Eggs, butter or cream cheese combine
more thoroughly at room temperature.
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.
• 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
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,
Bake in the preheated oven: 18–20
minutes for regular muffins, 14–16
minutes for mini muffins, until lightly
browned and springy to touch in

Orange Butter. (Muffins may be
made ahead and frozen. Thaw and
warm before serving.)

Cinnamon Muffins

a holiday bread basket.

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.

If baking immediately after preparing,
preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly coat an

Cook sweet potatoes in large pot of
boiling water until tender, about
15 minutes. Drain; transfer potatoes
to large bowl and add butter. Mix on
Speed 1 for one minute, then increase
to Speed 2 and beat until smooth.
Add eggs, brown sugar, spices, salt
and pepper; beat on Speed 1 to blend,
about 30 seconds. Transfer mixture
to the prepared baking dish. (Can
be made 1 day ahead. Cover and
refrigerate.) Bake potatoes in the
preheated oven until they are slightly
puffed and beginning to brown around
the edges, about 25–30 minutes.
Peel the potatoes and cut in 3⁄4-inch-
thick slices. Place the potatoes, garlic,
1 teaspoon kosher salt, and wine
vinegar in a 33⁄4 quart saucepan* and
cover with cold water by 1 inch. Cover
loosely and bring to the boil over high
heat, then reduce heat to medium high
and boil gently until potatoes are
tender but not falling apart, about
18–22 minutes. While potatoes are
cooking, combine milk, half-and-half,
butter, and 1⁄4 cup of the chives in
a Cuisinart® 11⁄2–quart saucepan.
Simmer over low heat until butter is
completely melted. Keep warm.
* Do not use nonstick cookware with the
Cuisinart® Hand Mixer.
Tip: For a “lighter” everyday version,
use reduced fat or fat-free milk
in place of the whole milk and
half-and-half.
