With your KitchenAid
®
 Stand Mixer, egg 
whites whip quickly. So, watch carefully 
to avoid overwhipping. This list tells you 
what to expect.

Tips of peaks fall over when wire whip is 
removed.

Sharp peaks form when wire whip is 
removed, but whites are actually soft.

Whipping Stages
Watch cream closely during whipping. 
Because your KitchenAid
®
 Stand Mixer 
whips so quickly, there are just a few 
seconds between whipping stages. Look 
for these characteristics:
Begins to Thicken
Cream is thick and custard-like.
Holds its Shape
Cream forms soft peaks when wire whip 
is removed. Can be folded into other 
ingredients when making desserts and 
sauces.
Stiff
Cream stands in stiff, sharp peaks when 
wire whip is removed. Use for topping 
on cakes or desserts, or filling for cream 
puffs.
