Deluxe Stand Mixer Cooking Guide

When preparing to use or when using your stand mixer, always follow the important safeguards and safety instructions found in the Deluxe Stand Mixer use and care manual. Before you whip up something delicious, we recommend following the simple steps noted in the See How It Works section of the use and care—it takes just a couple minutes and gives you a great introduction to how your mixer works.

Get to Know Your Deluxe Stand Mixer

Easy-to-use controls and clear displays. See p. 4 for details.

This beater is used for everything from delicate baking to meal-making. It scrapes the sides of the bowl while mixing so you don’t have to.

Whisk

This adds lots of air into lighter mixtures like egg whites and cream to create light and fluffy meringues, whipped cream, and smooth whipped icings.

Dough Hook

This works with heavier doughs like bread, pizza, or pasta, and is quicker and easier than kneading by hand.

Cord Storage and On/Off Switch

Control Center

Digital Display

Clearly shows the timer, mixing speed, recommended accessory for your chosen preset, and if the mixer’s sounds have been muted. You’ll also see helpful displays such as “Open” when the mixer head is tilted open, “End” when the timer is up, and “Pause” when you press the selector wheel while mixing or when you open the mixer head to add ingredients or check the progress.

Buttons

Timer

Use to set time in the setting.

Add 30 Seconds

Add mixing time in 30-second increments with the push of a button.

Cancel

Press at any time to stop mixing and cancel the setting and timer.

Selector Wheel/Start (Pause)

Turn the wheel to choose a preset, mixing speed (only ), and mixing time. Press to start.

While mixing, press to pause without canceling the timer or the mixing speed. Press again to resume.

Order of Assembly

Secure the bowl. Attach the accessory. Close the mixer head to start!

No-Guess Presets

Whether you’re baking or meal-making, each preset is programmed to gradually reach the optimal speed, giving you the very best results, mess-free. And the display shows which accessory to use. That’s a win-win!

Default time: 3 min, 30 sec | Min: 2 min, 10 sec | Max: 10 min

Best For

• Whipped cream

• Meringue

• Whipped frosting (Swiss and Italian meringue)

• Whipped cream cheese

• Frothy egg whites for souffles, angel food cake, etc.

• Homemade butter

• Egg salad

• No-churn ice cream

The shape of the whisk and the high-speed setting maximize the amount of air incorporated into ingredients for perfect peaks (and less tired arms) than hand whisking.

Default time: 2 min, 50 sec | Min: 50 sec | Max: 10 min

What It Does

Thoroughly incorporates sugar in softened butter or shortening for a fluffy, light mixture.

Fun Fact

Used For

Often the first step in making batters and doughs.

• Cakes

• Cookies

Creaming is an important step and this setting does it just right— no overmixing or undermixing. You’ll get light, fluffy baked goods instead of dense, flat ones.

Default time: 2 min, 30 sec | Min: 45 sec | Max: 10 min

What It Does

Gently blends ingredients to the right consistency.

Fun Fact

p. 28

Best For

• Batters

• Box mixes: Brownies, muffins, banana bread, quick bread

• Guacamole

• Meatloaf

• Meatballs

This setting combines ingredients slowly, without adding too much air—which is perfect when you want a more delicate texture.

Default time: 2 min | Min: 30 sec | Max: 10 min

What It Does

Fully combines ingredients that need extra work to blend together, or when you want a fluffy or smooth texture.

Fun Fact

p. 30

Best For:

• Frosting and icing

• Adding eggs to batter

• Cake mixes

• Cream cheese-based dips

• Mashed potatoes

Right between mixing and whipping, this setting uses a medium-high speed to add some air for everyday baking and meal-making.

What It Does

Slowly works ingredients into a soft ball of dough.

Fun Fact

Best For

• Sandwich bread, dinner rolls, sweet rolls, cinnamon rolls, brioche, challah

• Pizza dough

• Flatbreads (without yeast): Pita, naan

The shape of the hook works the dough in the same motion as kneading by hand, but in half the time with little to no mess.

What It Does

Lets you run the show you choose the speed and can adjust it mid-mix for complete flexibility and control. If you just start mixing, the mixer keeps track of the time for you. Or, set the timer if you know how much time you need.

Best For

• All your tried-and-true recipes, when you’ve already decoded the perfect speeds and mixing times.

• Recipes that call for mixing at a specific speed. In that case, use:

Low: 1–2

Medium: 3–5

High: 6–8

Max: 10 min

Helpful Hint

With this setting, it’s best to start on a low speed then gradually increase to the speed you need. This keeps the ingredients from splashing out of the bowl which keeps your countertop—and you—clean.

Raspberry Chocolate Mousse

8 servings | 10-min prep time | 25-min total time

Ingredients

Chocolate Mousse

2½ cups (625 mL) heavy whipping cream, divided

4 oz. (125 g) semi-sweet baking chocolate, chopped (see cook’s tips)

1 oz. (30 g) bittersweet baking chocolate, chopped

Directions

1. Microwave ½ cup (125 mL) of heavy cream until hot and steaming, but not boiling, 50–60 seconds.

2. Place the chocolate in a bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir until fully combined and shiny. Set aside to cool completely.

3. Meanwhile, microwave the jam until melted, about 45 seconds. Stir in the orange juice and set aside to cool.

4. Pour the remaining 2 cups (500 mL) of heavy cream into the Deluxe Stand Mixer bowl and until stiff peaks form, 2½–3 minutes. Reserve about 1 cup (250 mL) of whipped cream for serving.

5. Gently fold 1 cup (250 mL) of whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture. Then fold in the remaining whipped cream until well combined.

Raspberry Sauce

½ cup (125 mL) seedless raspberry jam

1 tbsp (15 mL) orange juice or orange liqueur

Optional garnish: Fresh raspberries, mint, chocolate curls (see cook’s tips)

6. Scoop the mousse into a serving bowl or individual cups and top with the reserved whipped cream and raspberry sauce. Garnish with fresh raspberries, mint, and chocolate curls, if you’d like.

Cook’s Tips

You can adjust the sweetness of the mousse to your liking. To make it sweeter, use all semi-sweet chocolate and omit the bittersweet chocolate. To make it less sweet, up the amount of bittersweet chocolate.

You can use baking chocolate to create a pretty garnish. With the chocolate bar at room temperature, or even a little warmer, run a veggie peeler across the edge to create curls.

Lemon Meringue Cookie Nests

18 servings | 10-min prep time | 2-hr, 20-min total time

Ingredients

Meringue Cookies

3 egg whites

¼ tsp (1 mL) vanilla extract

¼ tsp (1 mL) cream of tartar

½ cup (125 mL) sugar

Lemon Curd

¾ cup (175 mL) sugar

¾ cup (175 mL) water

¼ cup (60 mL) cornstarch

3 egg yolks, beaten

Garnish: Fresh berries, powdered sugar (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°F (100°C). Add the egg whites, vanilla, and cream of tartar to the Deluxe Stand Mixer bowl and for 5 minutes. With 2 minutes remaining, slowly pour in the sugar, a little at a time, before the time is up. You’ll see stiff peaks form (see cook’s tips).

2. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Spoon on 36 small dollops of meringue. Use the back of the spoon to gently create a nest for the curd (see cook’s tips).

3. Bake for 2 hours without opening the oven door. Turn the oven off and let sit 10 minutes with the oven door closed. Remove, cool, and store in an airtight container until ready to serve.

4. Meanwhile, to make the curd, constantly whisk the sugar, water, and cornstarch in a small pan over medium heat until it boils and starts to thicken, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.

5. Place the beaten egg yolks in a medium bowl. Slowly pour half of the hot mixture into the eggs while whisking to keep from scrambling. Slowly pour back into the pan with the remaining mixture while whisking.

1 tbsp (15 mL) butter, softened

1 lemon, zested and juiced

1⁄8 tsp (0.5 mL) salt

6. Return the pan to medium heat and whisk vigorously until it boils and thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt. Set aside, cover, and cool in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

7. Place the cookies on a platter with a bowl of curd and fresh berries. Spoon some curd into the nest, top with berries, and dust with powdered sugar, if you’d like.

Cook’s Tips

Make sure your mixing bowl, whisks, and any other utensils are free from fat or traces of egg yolk. These will prevent the egg whites from whipping.

The freshness and temperature of your eggs, and the humidity of your kitchen may impact the consistency of your whipped egg whites. You may need to adjust the time a bit.

Instead of using a spoon to form the cookies, you can pipe the meringue into a swirl with a well in the middle to form the nest.

Easy Meatloaf

12 servings | 5-min prep time | 55-min total time

Ingredients

2 lbs. (1 kg) ground beef, turkey, or pork

1 medium onion, chopped

1 cup (250 mL) plain bread crumbs

gluten-free bread crumbs

2 ⁄3 cup (150 mL) milk

2 eggs

4. Brush the top and sides of each loaf with about ¼ cup (60 mL) of ketchup.

5. Bake until the temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), about 45 minutes (see cook’s tips). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Cook’s Tips

Instead of ketchup, you can brush the loaves with pepper jelly, teriyaki, barbecue, or other sauces to change up the flavors!

To bake in 9" x 5" (23-cm x 13-cm) loaf pans, increase the cook time to 55 minutes.

With two loaves, you can eat one today and use one for sandwiches tomorrow. Or, freeze one so it’s ready for a quick and easy meal!

Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

8 servings | 5-min prep time | 40-min total time

Ingredients

6–7 garlic cloves, peeled

1 tsp (5 mL) olive oil

3 lbs. (1.4 kg) Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into small chunks

2 tsp (10 mL) chopped fresh thyme, plus more for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a small sheet pan with foil. Place the garlic cloves in the middle and drizzle with oil. Bring the corners of the foil together to form a “purse” and seal. Roast for 20 minutes; set aside.

Southwestern Chicken & Dumplings

6 servings | 10-min prep time | 40-min total time

Ingredients

Chicken Filling

3 cups (750 mL) baked or rotisserie chicken

2 tbsp (30 mL) oil

1 small onion, chopped

1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped

½ tsp (2 mL) salt

Corn Topping

2 eggs

¼ cup (60 mL) flour

1 tbsp (15 mL) taco seasoning

1 can (15 oz./398 mL) black beans, drained and rinsed

1½ cups (375 mL) frozen corn

¼ cup (60 mL) salsa (see cook’s tips)

3 cups (750 mL) chicken stock or broth

1 box (8.5 oz./240 g) corn muffin mix (see cook’s tips)

gluten-free muffin mix

Optional: 2 tbsp (30 mL) diced jalapeño, chives, grated cheddar cheese

Directions

1. To shred the chicken, place in the Deluxe Stand Mixer bowl and for 1 minute and 45 seconds.

2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

3. Heat the oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add the onion, pepper, salt, flour, and taco seasoning; cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Add the chicken, beans, corn, salsa, and stock to the skillet. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, add the eggs, muffin mix, and jalapeños (if using) to the mixer bowl and for 2 minutes.

6. Once the chicken mixture has thickened, spoon and spread the muffin batter over the top.

7. Bake until set and the corn mixture has slightly browned, 13–15 minutes. Sprinkle with the chives and cheese, if you’d like. Cool slightly before serving.

Cook’s Tips

Choose your favorite salsa—hot, medium, mild, salsa verde, or whatever you like!

Using boxed corn muffin mix is quick and easy, but follow this recipe and not the package directions or the topping will be runny.

If you can’t find corn muffin mix, you can substitute 2 ⁄ 3 cup (150 mL) of flour, ½ cup (125 mL) of yellow cornmeal, 3 tbsp (45 mL) of sugar, 1 tbsp (15 mL) of baking powder, and ¼ tsp (1 mL) of salt, and follow the remaining directions.

Sandwich Bread

Breads & Doughs

makes 1 loaf | 15-min prep time | 2-hr, 15-min total time

Ingredients

¾ cup (175 mL) warm water, 100–115°F (38–46°C)

1 pkg ( ¼ oz./10 g) active dry yeast

1 tbsp (15 mL) sugar

2½ cups (625 mL) bread flour

3 tbsp (45 mL) instant dried milk

1 tbsp (15 mL) shortening (see cook’s tips)

1 tsp (5 mL) salt

Directions

1. Add the water, yeast, and sugar to the Deluxe Stand Mixer bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes or until frothy. Add the remaining ingredients and for 8 minutes.

2. Transfer the dough to a large, greased bowl. Cover and let rise for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

3. Flatten the dough into a rectangle about 9" x 12" (23 cm x 30 cm) using your hands. Fold the shorter sides toward the center into thirds; roll to form a 9" (23-cm) log.

4. Place the dough in a greased 9" x 5" (23-cm x 13-cm) loaf pan; let rise until it’s above the edge of the pan, about 45 minutes.

5. Bake until well browned, 15–18 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool completely on a cooling rack before slicing.

Cook’s Tips

Shortening makes your bread light and fluffy and lets it brown during baking. Substituting butter or oil can make your bread dense and less airy, so we don't recommend swapping out the shortening.

Bake the bread as soon as the dough has risen. Waiting too long can alter the texture, and even make the loaf collapse as it bakes.

Caramelized Onion & Tomato Pizza

Ingredients

Crust

¾ cup (175 mL) warm water, 120–130°F (49–55°C)

1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil, plus more for drizzling

1½ tsp (7 mL) instant yeast (about half a packet; see cook’s tips)

2½ cups (625 mL) all-purpose flour

1 tsp (5 mL) salt

1 tsp (5 mL) sugar

Directions

1. Add all the crust ingredients to the Deluxe Stand Mixer bowl in the order listed and for 6 minutes. Remove the bowl.

2. Drizzle the top of the dough with olive oil to coat, cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, and put in a warm place (see cook’s tips) to rise for 1–1½ hours, or until doubled in size.

3. Preheat the oven and a pizza stone to 450°F (230°C).

4. For the pizza topping, heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat for 3 minutes. Cook the onion until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and garlic and cook another 5 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, salt, and pepper. Simmer 1–2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Pizza Topping

1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil, plus more for drizzling

1 onion, sliced

1 cup (250 mL) cherry tomatoes, halved

1 garlic clove, pressed

1 tbsp (15 mL) balsamic vinegar

1 ⁄8 tsp (0.5 mL) each salt and pepper

4 oz. (125 g) mozzarella cheese, grated (1 cup/250 mL)

5. Stretch the dough over a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal. Drizzle the dough with olive oil, sprinkle with the cheese, and top with the onion and tomato mixture.

6. Transfer the pizza to the preheated stone and bake until golden brown, 10–12 minutes. Slice and serve.

Cook’s Tips

Instant yeast, unlike active yeast, doesn’t require “blooming” (bubbling and foaming), but it does require using warmer water than active yeast.

Let the dough rise in a warm and humid space, if possible. Or, you can cover the bowl and set it in your oven with the light on.

Cook’s Tips

If you can’t find bulk breakfast sausage, you can remove the casing from breakfast sausage links, or use plain, sage, Italian, or any other bulk sausage.

Using beef and breakfast sausage in the burgers adds delicious flavor and keeps the patties from drying out as they cook.

These burgers are great in a grill pan or even on the griddle. If you’re making them on a grill, be careful: The fat that drips out can cause flare-ups.
