SM-70 INSTRUCTION BOOKLET IB-6383 89280 IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury, including the following: 1. Switch off and unplug before fitting or removing tools and/or attachments, after use and before cleaning. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils, away from beaters during operation to reduce the risk of injury to persons and/or damage to the mixer. [. . . ] · To melt chocolate for a recipe, place chopped chocolate in a double boiler insert or larger bowl over a pan of barely simmering hot water. The water should not boil, nor should it touch the bottom of the double boiler insert or bowl. If it does, this could cause the chocolate to "seize" and you will not be able to use it in your recipe. Sprinkle a little over warm (105-110°F) water from recipe and add a pinch of sugar or flour from the recipe. If it does not become foamy/ bubbly in 5 to 10 minutes, the yeast may be "dead. " Start over with fresh yeast from a new package. · For mixing yeast doughs, begin by using the flat mixing paddle. When starting a recipe, dough is thinner and more like a batter and mixes more efficiently and smoothly with a paddle. After a very thick, smooth batter forms, switch to the dough hook to complete the recipe. · Line baking sheets with parchment for easy release and easy cleanup. · Let cookies rest on sheets for 2 to 3 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool. · Cookies must cool completely before being put into storage containers to avoid them becoming soggy and misshapen. BREAD BAKING · One ¼-ounce packet of yeast equals 2¼ teaspoons yeast. · After baking, you can soften the crust, if desired, by rubbing it with unsalted butter soon after removing it from the oven. · If a recipe calls for a specific type of flour, used the flour recommended. If you do not have bread flour, you can substitute unbleached, all-purpose flour, but your bread may not rise quite as much. · Do not use "lite" or tub margarines for bread baking ­ the first ingredient is often water and they do not work well in any baking. · Vital gluten is the dried protein taken from the flour by eliminating the starch. It is a good dough conditioner or enhancement for yeast breads, especially for whole grain breads or when using all-purpose flour. If a recipe specifically calls for vital gluten, we recommend that it be used for best results. · For 100% whole wheat bread use 1½ teaspoons vital gluten per cup of flour. · Lite salt can be used if it has both potassium chloride and sodium. · Many bread recipes have a "range" amount of flour ­ start by using the lower end of the range, then add more flour as needed to produce a smooth, not sticky dough. · Before measuring molasses or honey, oil the measuring spoon to help it run off better. · To produce a higher loaf of bread, use water that potatoes have been cooked in. COOKIE BAKING · Use an ice cream scoop to measure out cookie dough ­ this keeps the cookies evenly shaped and uniform in size.
