thick and creamy blend.
17. If you are making a dip or spread, it is not necessary to process
completely into a smooth purée; leave some texture for interest.
18. When making compound butters, remove the butter from the
refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before blending
the ingredients.
19. The hand blender is perfect for frothing milk for cappuccino or lattes.
20. Use the hand blender to make smooth gravies and pan sauces.

WHISK TIPS
Use the whisk attachment for beating heavy cream or egg whites. It may
also be used for whisking eggs for scrambled eggs or fluffy omelets.
BEATING EGG WHITES
When beating egg whites use a very clean metal or glass bowl, never
plastic. Plastic can contain hidden oils and fats that can ruin the delicate
egg white foam. To help stabilize the egg whites add 1/8 teaspoon of
cream of tartar per egg white prior to beating them. (If using a copper
bowl omit the cream of tartar). Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form
that do not droop over. Beating the egg whites longer causes them to dry
out and become even less stable. When adding sugar to beaten egg
whites add it slowly when soft peaks just begin to form and then continue
beating to form soft peaks that don’t droop over.
BEATING HEAVY CREAM
When beating heavy cream, if possible and time allows, use a chilled
bowl, and chill the whisk attachment. The best shaped bowl for whipping
cream is one that is deep with a rounded bottom. The cream should come
out of the refrigerator just before whipping. Hold the Whip attachment so
that it is just skimming the surface, and whip until the cream begins
to thicken and develop some body; then immerse the whisk totally into
the cream. Whipped cream may be used at either soft or firm peaks
depending on preference. It may be flavored as desired. For best results,
whip cream just before using.
If it must be whipped ahead, add a whipped cream stabilizer such as
