Mixing in things for doughs/biscuits
« on: March 12, 2011, 05:37:23 am »
Hi All,

I've only had my Thermo for a month and have had no issues with it, just a bit green with cakes and biscuits. I have trouble with mixing in things such as fruit at the end of my knead for dough, and also choc chips or nuts into my biscuit mixture.
does anyone have any beaut tips I could try.
so far my work around is to knead my fruit in dough mixture, (the recipe states to mix on speed 8 for 20 sec, it takes about 10 sec for thermo to get up to speed due to volume of dough, so i gave up on that instruction). for biscuit work I simply ix for 30 sec on reverse speed 4, they work OK.
Is there something that I should be doing?

ThermoNix, I'm pretty sure I've read on here where Faffa70 & Cookie1 use either the  :: knead function or the turbo button until things are mixed in.

For things like choc chips or anything that you don't want broken up I use reverse. I put it up high enough (the speed that is) for it to mix in.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
