The way forward for Baking Recipes
Frankly, I wasn't certain whether or not I could be utilizing the machine that frequently as I hardly even use my previous handheld electric mixer. I really do not like the thought of having a white elephant permanently gracing my kitchen counter. Most significantly, I do not know whether I am capable of offering recipes that could meet Bosch expectations and necessities for sharing on its web site.
It was only after watching the meals preparation demo movies by Chef John See from The Food Dot, using the MUM5PRO and the MUM8 kitchen machine, that I began to changed my mine. For someone who can't even cook first rate prompt noodles, the act of merely adding substances into the mixing bowl and letting the machine do most of the work seems easy enough for him ;) I really envisioned my husband making a cake for me! You see, my husband spent a couple of minutes of his time to watch the videos with me, and after watching Chef See making a loaf of banana bread with gula melaka butterscotch effortlessly utilizing the Bosch MUM8 kitchen machine, we were actually impressed.
With the assuring words from my baking buddy, I plucked up my courage to accept the offer. I feel actually honoured to be given this alternative to take up the challenge of making an attempt out new recipes utilizing the kitchen machine. I am only a self-taught dwelling baker, and my baking would not transcend the usual simple cakes, cookies and muffins.
I need to say I'm very glad that I made the proper resolution when i received the complimentary set of machine. Better of all, it's not as bulky as I had expected. I really like the sleek, trendy design of this mixer which match perfectly with the 'look and feel' of my kitchen.
This kitchen appliance is greater than a stand mixer. For someone with no expertise utilizing a stand mixer or a food processor, I may handle the machine with ease. Switching from one equipment to another could be very easy with the straightforward lift swivel arm. With the citrus press, continuous shredder and blender attachments, it really works as a food processor, meals mixer and a blender as nicely.
To make use of it as a stand mixer, the machine is geared up with a silicon versatile whisk, a beating whisk and a kneading hook. This equipment comes with a strong 900 watts motor (great for kneading bread dough), and has 7 speeds and a pulse perform. The base of the machine is fitted with rubber suction feet which gives additional stability.
To me, the citrus press attachment is a superb accessory. While testing the citrus press attachment, I found an necessary safety function...the machine is designed to ensure the accessories are accurately connected otherwise it is not going to begin. I can use it to squeeze lemon or orange juice as and when it is named for in baking recipes; then change it simply to the whisk attachment to proceed with getting ready the remainder of the batter. When the appliance is switched on, the citrus press will spin and all I needed to do was to hold on to the fruit.
The steady shredder attachment comes with three discs which can be utilized for slicing, shredding herbs, fruits and vegetables and grating nuts. The plastic blender attachment can be used for blending drinks, puree fruits and vegetables, it can be used for cutting fruits, nuts and for crushing ice cubes as nicely.
As a stand mixer, the machine is designed in such a way that the whisk moves in an elliptical movement which ensures each part of the mixing bowl is reached. I used the silicon flexible stirring whisk to prepare a batch of cream cheese fillings. I like this silicon edged mixing blade as it may scrape down the mixture because it run along the facet of the bowl. The batter was thoroughly blended and turned very easy and well blended within a couple of minutes of whisking.
I tested the balloon whisk by making some molten chocolate cakes. The recipe calls for beating whole eggs and sugar together identical to making a sponge cake. Luckily it's an environment friendly machine and the batter was prepared in lower than 5 minutes. The machine might get noisy when it is set to run at high pace. I set the machine to run on excessive velocity and the batter was thick and ribbon-like after three to 4 minutes.
To break up the big air bubbles formed, I turned it to low velocity and i may notice the batter becoming extra smooth and stable with less foams. I've additionally used this whisk attachment to beat egg whites for a chiffon cake. This is one thing I may hardly achieve with my handheld electric whisk. Base on my previous experience with beating egg whites with my handheld whisk, this mixer seems to have the ability to beat egg whites to a a lot fuller volume. Due to the design of the handheld whisk, even on low pace, the paddle still spin vigorously within its own axis, whereas this Bosch machine is able to maneuver slowly and gently in a bigger circular movement.
While getting ready the batter for the molten chocolate cake, I needed to fold the flour into the mixture. Unlike the conventional mixing bowl, the bottom of the mixer's bowl is barely raised within the center. Fortunately, I discovered a strategy to get round it. I titled the bowl barely and I was in a position to fold in the flour easily. This makes folding just a little tricky for a first timer as I couldn't scrape the spatula proper below the bowl with out hitting the raised part.
Of all the three beaters, I really like the dough hook finest since I like baking bread for my family. My bread machine will need double the time to knead dough to this stage. It also comes with a transparent lid with filler gap to keep flour from settling all around the work space through the initial mixing. The maximum pace for the dough hook attachment is speed three so there wasn't a lot noise from the machine when operated at such low velocity; and because of the suction toes, it sat very sturdy on my kitchen counter while it knead continuously for at the least quarter-hour. The dough became very easy and elastic and i might pull and stretch it into a thin membrane. I left the machine to knead a rather wet and sticky dough for 15~20 minutes until the dough reached the window pane stage. The machine did not feel warm or show any signal of being over heated after being set to run for therefore lengthy.
Overall, this Bosch MUM57830 is a simple to make use of all-in-one kitchen helper. I will even be capable to discover a wider vary of recipes now that I've a meals processor and a blender :) It is nice for beating egg whites too as I not must juggle a handheld mixer in one hand whereas attempting to add spoonfuls of sugar with one other. Cleaning up shouldn't be very different from what I might do with my handheld mixer or handbook whisk. I will certainly put it to good use since I'm very happy with the dough kneading operate. With more observe, I feel I might even leave the machine to run on its own while I prepare the yolk batter every time I crave for a chiffon cake.
