Copper Bowl Information

Copper mixing bowls are used and very beneficial for successful all egg white based
recipes such as

• Sponge cakes & variations
• Pavlova
• Mousse
• Fools
• Confectionary recipes such as nougat, marshmallow and some fudges

Copper bowls have been used since the late 1700’s for perfect egg white
based recipes.
The French have always used and praised copper bowls for perfect results with egg white foam recipes.

How it works: The copper works to prevent the protein forming too tightly and ‘squeezing’ out liquid. Therefore the egg foam will be glossy, have good volumn, and be firm and stable. When egg whites are NOT beaten in a copper bowl they will quickly become gritty, dull and break down (resulting in foam on the top and a liquid on the bottom). Copper is also an excellent conductor of heat so the mixing bowl is excellent in the making of confectionary using hot sugar syrups.

Care & cleaning of the Mixing bowl Easy cleaning: pour over white vinegar and clean the bowl ‘gently’ with salt and a soft cloth or paper towel. Rinse under hot water and buff with a soft cloth. Commercial chemical based cleaners are also available. (I think expensive and are horrible chemicals… but some like them)!

Wash the bowl regularly with hot soapy water and rinse well before using.
Lemon juice can also be wiped over the bowl before use. Always make sure the mixing bowl and wire whisk are very clean and dry before use.

Grain Mill Attachment

A Grain Mill attachment is available for use with the following stand mixers KSM90, KSM150, K5 and KPM50.

The KPM50 has a thermal cut out switch – this model could be most useful if constant use is wanted.

 ·         1kg oat grain  milled (on  medium / course) in approx 7 minutes on speed  8

·         1kg   whole wheat milled (on finest setting) in approx 8 minutes on speed   8.

Immediately turn adjustment knob back counter clockwise 3 clicks.

Stop mixer and fill hopper with grain. Turn mixer to speed 10 after grain is added. If grind is too fine, turn adjustment knob counter clockwise one click at a time until desired coarseness is achieved. Continue to replenish grain in hopper until desired amount of grain is ground.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT GRAIN MILL
