Do I Mix, Whisk, Cream, or Fold?

Baking is more than just following a recipe—it's about knowing the right techniques to get the best results. If you’ve ever wondered, “Do I mix, whisk, cream, or fold?”—we’ve got you covered.

Here’s a quick guide to these basic baking techniques and how to nail them using your MYVES® X1 hand mixer!

1. Mix for Smoothness

Mixing is all about combining ingredients evenly. Use the MYVES® X1’s Optimus Beaters on speed 2 or 3 to mix cake batters, cookie dough, or pancake batter to a smooth consistency. Start slow, then gradually increase speed to avoid overmixing, which can lead to tough baked goods.

2. Whisk for Fluffiness

Need to add air into your ingredients? Whisking is key. The MYVES® X1’s Pro Whisk attachment, set at speed 5, is perfect for whipping egg whites to soft peaks or creating fluffy whipped cream. It’s all about speed and lightness—get those peaks standing tall!

3. Cream for Softness

Creaming is essential for cookies and cakes, where you blend butter and sugar until light and fluffy. With the MYVES® X1 on speed 3 or 4, the Optimus Beaters will cream ingredients quickly, creating that perfect tender texture in your baked goods.

4. Fold for Delicacy

Folding is a delicate process used to incorporate whipped ingredients without losing air. The MYVES® X1 on speed 1 makes folding easier with a controlled, gentle mix. This technique is perfect for light cakes and mousse, where keeping air in the batter is key!
