Whisk: Use speed settings 6-8 for eggs, cream, batter, low-fat sponges, meringues, cheesecakes, mousses, and soufflés.

Note: Always begin mixing on a low speed setting before gradually increasing to a high speed setting to prevent splattering.

• Bread dough not combining: Add a little more liquid and do not use a high speed setting.
• Mixture curdles: Add eggs one at a time and beat well. Ensure eggs are at room temperature.
• Sugar visible after creaming: Continue to cream until sugar is dissolved or use caster sugar.
• Lumps in batter: Sift ingredients such as flour before mixing.
