aSSEMBlIng tHE MIxEr

Before using your Sage™ by Heston

Blumenthal‰ product for the first time, remove any packaging material and promotional labels. Ensure the speed control dial is in the ‘Off’ position, the mixer is switched off at the power outlet and the power cord is unplugged.

Remove the mixing bowl, beater, whisk and dough hook and wash in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

The bowl and the attachments may be washed in the dishwasher.

Insert the mixing bowl into the bowl locking recess of the mixer stand and turn clockwise until the bowl locks securely into place.

notE

When first using your Sage™ by

Heston Blumenthal‰ product, you may notice an odour coming from the motor. This is normal and will dissipate with use.

attaCHIng tHE BoWl

Place the mixer base on a level, dry surface such as a bench top. The mixer motor head should be in the horizontal (closed) position. Raise the mixer motor head by depressing the tilt back hinge button.

notE

To remove or insert the mixing bowl, the mixer motor head must be raised and locked into the open position.

Lift the mixer motor head up until it tilts back and locks into the open position.

attaCHIng tHE SCraPEr BEatEr, flat BEatEr, doUgH HooK or

Ensure the mixer motor head is in the raised/open position. Align the groove in the top of the mixing attachment with the locking pin on the spindle extending down from the mixer motor head.

Push the attachment upwards and turn clockwise until it locks securely onto the locking pin on the spindle

(see Fig. 1).

notE

When ingredients are in the mixing bowl, the scraper beater may make a slight noise as it scrapes the sides and bottom of the bowl. This is normal and should not cause concern.

Do not turn the mixer on with the scraper beater in place if the mixing bowl is empty. This will cause the scraper beater to make a loud noise as it scrapes the bowl.

Fig. 1

Lower the mixer motor head by depressing the tilt back button and gently pushing the mixer motor head down until it locks into the horizontal (closed) position

(see Fig. 2).

Fig. 2

The splash guard can now be assembled if required. Slide the main ring into position on top of bowl, then assemble the pour spout.

Ensure the speed control dial is set to the ‘Off’ position, plug the cord into a

230V power outlet and switch the power

‘ON’ at the power outlet. The illuminated

LED speed indicator band will flash and the Count Up/Down timer will display “0:00.” The mixer is now ready to be used.

notE

If the mixer has not been used for 3 minutes it will automatically change from 'Stand by mode' to a power saving 'OFF mode' and the illuminated

LED will switch off. To exit 'OFF mode' and begin mixing, turn the dial to the selected speed or press one of the count up/down timer buttons.

Add ingredients to the mixing bowl as indicated in the recipe.

Always begin mixing by selecting a low speed setting on the speed control dial. This will prevent ingredients splattering. Increase the speed as suited to the mixing task.

The speed setting can be adjusted during operation by moving the dial clockwise for the main mixing settings. Use the mixing guide in this booklet as a reference.

tHE CoUnt-UP tIMEr

The count-up timer is especially useful to gauge mixing time. You can monitor the time it takes to thoroughly mix the ingredients, so that the next time you mix the same ingredients you can set the countdown timer for the specific time.

The count-up timer will automatically begin counting up as soon as the dial is rotated from ‘Off’ to one of the speeds.

When the dial is turned to "Pause" the total time will be displayed on the LCD and will flash. When the dial is turned to "OFF", the

LCD display will reset back to "0:00".

If necessary, stop the mixer during operation and scrape any food mixture down the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula.

notE

Always turn the mixer off if you need to scrape the bowl during use, and then switch back on and continue mixing.

tHE CoUnt-doWn tIMEr

The count-down timer is especially useful for any recipe that specifies the length of time ingredients should be mixed.

For example, if a recipe reads, “beat for 3 minutes,” you can set the count-down timer to 3 minutes by pressing the up/down arrows. After 3 minutes of mixing, an alarm will sound and the motor will automatically turn off. The count-down timer will flash

“OFF”. The control dial must to be rotated to the “Off” position to reset the timer and to continue mixing.

To set the count down timer, press the up or down arrows until the desired mixing time is displayed on the LCD screen.

notE

Press and hold the arrows down to scroll through the timer setting more quickly.

Rotate the dial clockwise to select the desired speed and to begin mixing. When the timer has finished counting down,

“0:00” will flash on the LCD screen and a beep will sound to notify you that the time has expired. The mixer will automatically turn the motor off. The control dial must be rotated to the 'OFF' position to reset the timer and to continue mixing.

notE

The maximum time displayed on the timer is 59:59 (fifty nine minutes, fifty–nine seconds). The mixer will automatically switch Off at 59 minutes 59 seconds. The control dial needs to be rotated to the “Off” position to reset the timer and to continue mixing.

PaUSE ModE

While mixing, at any stage, you can rotate the control dial to the “pause” setting. This will turn the motor off and “pause” the timer. This enables you to assess the mixing progress or add additional ingredients without effecting the timer.

For example, if you are mixing using the

‘count-up timer’ mode, you can rotate the control dial from one of the mixing speeds to “pause”. The mixer motor will stop and the timer will “pause”. Once ready, you can rotate the dial back to one of the mixing speeds, the timer will continue to countup from the exact time it was paused.

Alternatively, if you have turned the mixer to

“pause” you can then reset the timer to 0:00 by rotating the dial to “Off” position.

If using the “pause” function in ‘countdown timer’ mode, you can suspend the timer at any stage during the count-down process by rotating the control dial to the

“pause” setting. To continue mixing in the

‘count-down timer’ mode, simply rotate the dial back into one of the mixing speeds or alternatively to the “Off” position to reset the timer to 0:00.

Motor HEad SafEty CUt-off

The mixer is equipped with a motor head safety cut-off. If the motor head is lifted at any time while the mixer motor is switched on, the safety cut-off will automatically switch the mixer off.

To restart the mixer turn the speed control dial to the "Off" position and close the motor head to the normal position and re-select the desired speed from the dial.

To turn the mixer off, turn the dial to the

“Off” position, switch the appliance off at the power outlet and unplug the cord.

ElECtronIC ProtECtIon

CUt-off – CUrrEnt oVErload

The mixer is equipped with an electric protection cut-off and will automatically stop operating if the motor is stalled or overloaded. This is normally a result of excessive ingredients being processed at one time. Should the mixer go into this mode, the LED indicator band will flash and the error message “E1” will flash on the LCD screen and the buzzer will “beep” 3 times.

tHErMo CUt-off – tEMPEratUrE oVErload

The mixer is equipped with a self-resetting safety device which safeguards against overheating the motor with excessive loads. If overheating occurs, the mixer will automatically activate the overheating protection device and the motor will switch itself off. Should the mixer go into this mode, the LED indicator band will flash and the error message “E2” will flash on the LCD screen and the buzzer will “beep” 3 times.

If this error occurs, turn the speed control dial to the ‘Off” position, switch the appliance off at the power outlet and unplug the cord. Remove some of the ingredients in the mixing bowl and then restart the mixer.

If this error occurs, turn the speed control dial to the ‘Off’ position, switch the appliance off at the power outlet and unplug the cord. Wait at least 15 minutes before restarting the mixer.

dISaSSEMBlIng tHE MIxEr

When mixing is complete, turn the speed control dial to the ‘Off/Stand by’ position, switch the appliance off at the power outlet and unplug the cord.

Remove splash guard if assembled.

Separate pour spout then slide main ring out of position.

Raise the mixer motor head by depressing the tilt back button and lift the mixer motor head up until it tilts back and locks into the open position.

Remove the beater/dough hook/ whisk attachment by holding the mixer motor head and pressing the attachment upwards on the spindle.

Turn the attachment anticlockwise to release it from the pin on the spindle.

Use a soft plastic spatula to remove mixture from the beater, dough hook or whisk attachment.

notE

When lowering or lifting the mixer, always support the motor head with your other hand to prevent from free-falling.

Remove the mixing bowl from the indented bowl locking recess of the mixer Base and turn anti-clockwise until the bowl releases. Use a soft plastic spatula to remove mixture from the mixing bowl.

Lower the mixer motor head by depressing the tilt back hinge button and pushing the mixer motor head down until it locks into the horizontal (closed) position.

WARNING

Avoid contact with beater/dough hook/ whisk during operation. Keep hands, hair, clothing, spatulas and other utensils away from beater/dough hook/ whisk to prevent personal injury or damage to the mixer.

ClEanIng aftEr USE

Always ensure the speed control dial is in the ‘Off’ position, the mixer is switched off at the power outlet and the power cord is unplugged.

Remove the beater, dough hook or whisk attachment and mixing bowl from the mixer. Follow instructions in the ‘Assembly and operation’ section of this booklet.

Wipe the mixer motor head and mixer stand with a soft, damp cloth then dry thoroughly.

Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord. Wash the bowl, beater, dough hook, and whisk in warm soapy water with a soft cloth or they can be washed in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

notE

Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners when cleaning the mixing bowl, flat beater, dough hook or whisk as these may scratch the surface. Also ensure that the attachments are not soaked in water for extended periods of time, for example several hours or overnight, as this may damage the finish.

rECoMMEndatIonS for BEttEr BrEad MaKIng

• Do check the ingredients and read the recipe before starting to bake.

• Do measure ingredients accurately

— weighed measurements are more accurate than volume measurements.

• Do use bread flour unless recipe states otherwise.

• Do check use-by-dates on ingredients.

• Do add ingredients in the order stated in the recipe.

• Do store opened ingredients in airtight containers.

• Do use ingredients at room temperature.

• Don’t use flour that contains a protein level of less than 11%.

• Don’t use tableware cups, jugs or spoons for measuring.

• Don’t use hot water or liquids.

• Don’t use self-raising flour to make yeasted bread unless recipe states otherwise.

• If you live in a high altitude area above 900m you will probably need to alter the yeast quantity in the bread recipe. The higher the altitude, the lower the air pressure and the faster the dough will rise. Try reducing the yeast by ¼ teaspoon.

• If the weather is hot and humid, reduce the yeast by ¼ teaspoon to avoid over rising of the dough.

• Flour properties can alter on a seasonal or storage basis, so it may be necessary to adjust the water and flour ratio. If the dough is too sticky, add extra flour 1 tablespoon at a time if the dough is too dry add extra water 1 teaspoon at a time.

A few minutes is needed for these extra ingredients to be absorbed. Dough with the correct amount of flour and water should form into a smooth, round ball that is damp to the touch but not sticky.

• When hand-shaping dough for rolls, weigh each piece of dough for more evenly sized rolls.

SPongIng yEaSt

• Instant active dried yeast is used in the recipes in this book however fresh or compressed yeast can be substituted, if required, for specific flavour or religious dietary requirements.

• Fresh or compressed yeast needs to be

‘sponged’ (fermentation started) before adding to the other ingredients.

• To substitute, use three times the amount of fresh or compressed yeast for the amount of dry yeast in a recipe.

• To sponge the yeast: Place the quantity of fresh compressed yeast in the quantity of (warmed) water from the recipe together with 1 teaspoon sugar and 1 teaspoon flour into a clean glass bowl, stir to dissolve and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to stand in a warm area (30ºC) for about 30 minutes or until the mixture starts to bubble and froth. This mixture should be used without delay.

WarM arEa for rISIng

• Yeast, either when sponging or in the dough, requires warmth to rise.

• To create a ‘warm area’ for dough to rise, place baking tray over a bowl of fairly warm water, place prepared dough item on baking tray, cover loosely with lightly greased thicker-style plastic wrap or a tea towel. Ensure kitchen is warm and free of draughts. Allow the dough to rise until doubled in size.

rECoMMEndatIonS for BEttEr BaKIng

• Check the ingredients and read the recipe before starting to bake.

• Weigh and measure ingredients correctly.

• Variations may occur in raw ingredients used so adjust other ingredients and baking times if required.

• Preheat oven before starting recipe preparation, this will ensure the correct temperature is achieved before baking starts.

• Temperatures and cooking times may vary with some ovens so adjust accordingly. If using a fan forced oven reduce the temperatures in the recipes by 10ºC.

• When mixing, start the mixer at a lower speed then gradually increase to the recommended speed in the recipe especially when adding dry ingredients.

• When using smaller quantities turn off the mixer from time to time and scrape the bowl with a spatula.

• Ensure wire whisk and mixing bowl are clean and free of fats when whipping egg whites as these will impede aeration.

• Instead of greasing baking pans or trays, line with baking paper where appropriate. However, a little light greasing in pans will keep the paper in place.

• Pre warm a measuring spoon in hot water for easy measuring of golden syrup or honey.

• Butter should be softened at room temperature to make creaming butter and sugar easier.

• Keep surfaces and ingredients chilled when making, handling or rolling out pastry. Butter for pastry making should be kept refrigerated.

• Avoid stretching pastry when rolling out as it will shrink when baking. Use light, even strokes in one direction and avoid pressing down hard on the rolling pin. Where possible, rest pastry in the refrigerator before baking.

• Eggs should be at room temperature to give better volume when whipping

• Break eggs individually into another container before adding to other ingredients to avoid potential spoilage.

• Separate egg whites carefully to avoid inclusion of egg yolks. Egg yolks contain fat and will prevent successful whipping of egg whites.

• Rinse beaten egg residue from whisk, beater and mixing bowl or other utensils with cold water immediately after use.

Using hot water will set the egg and make removal difficult.

• Test if cakes are cooked at the end of baking time by touching the top lightly, the cake will spring back if cooked. A fine skewer can also be inserted carefully into the centre of the cake, if it comes out clean the cake is cooked.

• For crisper results when baking biscuits, remove the baking trays from the oven and place directly onto wire racks. Move the biscuits slightly away from their baked position on the trays and cool completely before removing.

tHE VItal IngrEdIEntS for BrEad MaKIng

Flour is the most important ingredient used for bread making. It provides food for the yeast and gives structure to the loaf. When mixed with liquid, the protein in the flour starts to form gluten. Gluten is a network of elastic strands that interlock to trap the gases produced by yeast. This process increases as the dough continues kneading and provides the structure required to produce the weight and shape of the baked bread.

White wheat flour sold as baker’s, bread or plain flour may be used. Plain flour is most readily available, however, best results are obtained with flour at least 11% protein content. For this reason, the recipes in this book requiring bread flour have been made using flour with 11% protein content. This is normally indicated on the packaging. Do not sift the flour or use self-raising flour for bread making unless indicated in the recipe.

notE

When using a low-protein, plain, stone ground or wholemeal flour the quality of the bread can be improved by adding gluten flour.

BaKEr’S or BrEad floUr

There are several brands of bread or bakers flour available nationally at larger supermarkets. It is a high protein, white bread flour, with 11% protein.

Wholemeal wheat flour contains the bran, germ and flour of the wheat grain. Although breads baked with this type of flour will be higher in fibre, the loaf may be heavier in texture. Lighter textured bread can be achieved by replacing 1 cup of wholemeal flour with white bread flour.

Rye flour, popular for bread making, is low in protein so it is essential to combine rye flour with bread flour to make the bread rise successfully. Rye flour is traditionally used to make the heavy, dense Pumpernickel and

Black Breads.

Gluten flour is made by extracting the gluten portion from the wheat grain. Adding gluten flour can improve the structure and quality of bread when using low-protein, plain, stone ground and whole meal flour.

Bread mixes contain flour, sugar, milk, salt, oil and other ingredients such as bread improver. Usually only the addition of water and yeast is required.

Bread improvers are available nationally in supermarkets and health food stores. The ingredients in a bread improver are usually a food acid such as ascorbic acid (Vitamin

C) and other enzymes (amylases) extracted from wheat flours. Adding a bread improver will help strengthen the dough resulting in a loaf that is higher in volume, softer in texture, more stable and has improved shelf life qualities. A simple bread improver can be a crushed unflavoured vitamin C tablet added to the dry ingredients.

Sugar provides sweetness and flavour, browns the crust and produces food for the yeast. White sugar, brown sugar, honey and golden syrup are all suitable to use.

When using honey or golden syrup it must be counted as additional liquid. We have successfully tested granular ‘Splenda’ brand low calorie sweetener as a sugar substitute.

Powdered milk and milk products enhance the flavour and increase the nutritional value of bread. Powdered milk is convenient and easy to use (store in an airtight container in the refrigerator).

Low fat or skim milk powder can be used with good results. Soy milk powder can also be used but produces a denser loaf. Fresh milk should not be substituted unless stated in the recipe.

tHE VItal IngrEdIEntS

Salt is an important ingredient in bread making. In the dough, salt increases water absorption, improves kneading, strengthens the gluten development and controls fermentation of the yeast which results in improved loaf shape, crumb structure, crust colour, flavour and keeping qualities. As salt inhibits the rising of bread be accurate when measuring.

Fat adds flavour and retains the moisture.

Vegetable oils such as safflower, sunflower, canola, etc. can be used. Butter or margarine can be substituted for oil in recipes but may give a yellow coloured crumb.

Yeast is used as the raising agent for the breads and requires liquid, sugar and warmth to grow and rise. Dried yeast has been used in the recipes in this instruction book where appropriate. Before using dried yeast always check the use by date, as stale yeast will prevent the bread from rising. ‘Tandaco’ brand yeast (available nationally in most supermarkets) was used in the development of all yeasted recipes contained in this book. Smaller packets of bread mix usually contain sachets of yeast.

Larger bulk bags of bread mix usually do not include the yeast sachets, however the corresponding brand of yeast may be purchased separately.

Some bulk and imported yeasts are more active, therefore it is recommended to use less of these yeasts. Yeast may also be more active in hot weather. For information on other brands of yeast relating to quantities contact the manufacturer listed on the package.

Rapid rise yeast is a mixture of yeast and bread improver. Brands will vary in strength.

If wishing to substitute for yeast in a recipe, omit the bread improver. Rapid Rise yeasts should not be used with Bread Mix as bread improver is already included.

Water from the tap is used in all bread recipes. If using water in cold climates or from the refrigerator, allow water to come to room temperature. Extremes of hot or cold water will prevent the yeast activating.

Eggs can be used in some bread recipes and provide liquid, aid rising and increase the nutritional value of the bread. They add flavour and softness to the crumb and are usually used in sweeter types of bread.

Other ingredients such as fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, etc., required to remain whole in the baked bread, should be suspended in the dough. These ingredients should be gradually added during the kneading and before the dough rises for the first time.

For more information about bread mixes please contact the relevant number listed below. Or refer to contact details on the packaging of the bread.

tHE VItal IngrEdIEntS for CaKE and PaStry MaKIng

Flour, such as plain, self raising and wholemeal, used for cake and pastry making should be lower in protein (gluten) than flour used for bread making.

Plain flour has a lower protein (gluten) content and gives baked products, such as cakes, muffins, pastries, scones and pancakes, a softer texture.

Self–raising flour is a blend of plain flour and raising agents such as baking powder.

Self raising flour can be used in recipes to replace plain flour and baking powder. To make 1 cup self-raising flour sift together

1 cup plain flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.

Wholemeal flour contains more parts of the whole wheat grain — flour, bran and wheat germ — and can be used in muffins, breads and pie cases but will have a denser texture.

Corn flour is made from maize (corn) and is used in some baked products to give a finer texture and can also be used as a starch to thicken sauces and desserts.

Rice flour is derived from rice and is used to give a finer texture in baked products such as shortbread biscuits.

Baking powder is a mixture of cream of tartar and bicarbonate of soda and is used as a raising agent in baking.

Bicarbonate of soda also known as baking soda is an ingredient in baking powder and can be used as an additional raising agent or to darken some baked products.

Butter will give particular flavour and soft texture to baked products. Margarine can replace butter to give a similar result. Oil can be used in some baking to replace butter but will give texture and flavour differences

— use only ¾ of the amount of butter.

Eggs should be at room temperature to give better volume when making cakes and sponges. Standard 60g eggs were used in the recipes.

Milk should be full cream unless specified.

Light, low fat or skim milk can be used but will give texture and flavour differences.

Sugar (white crystal sugar) is used to give flavour, texture and colour to baked products. Caster sugar is often used in baking as it is easier to dissolve when creaming butter and sugar. Brown sugar is also easy to dissolve and can be used to give a different flavour and texture. The large crystals of raw sugar are slower to dissolve and can be suitable for baked products such as muffins.

USIng tHE SCraPEr BEatEr

The Scraper Beater can be used for a variety of mixing tasks. These include creaming butter and sugar, pastry, cake and biscuit batter, thin batter, icing and frosting. Due to the efficient mixing action of the Scraper

Beater, the mixing time of many recipes will be reduced. Refer to the chart below for approximate mixing times for common

Longer mixing times may be required for larger or double quantities.

Do not use the Scraper Beater for mixing heavy dough (bread, pizza etc) or whisking egg whites.

The above timings are to be used as a guide only.

When adding flour to the mixing bowl, always use splash guard and ensure the mixer is on the folding/kneading setting. This will prevent flour from escaping the bowl.

tIP

Use the beater for all mixing tasks. Use the whisk for all whipping or aeration tasks. Use dough hook only for kneading bread dough.

Use the mixing guide to select a suitable mixing speed when preparing recipes. Begin mixing at lowest speed then increase to higher speed to prevent splattering.

Mix for the recommended time in the recipe — avoid over mixing.

Should an object such as a spoon or spatula fall into the bowl while mixing, immediately turn the mixer off, unplug at the power outlet and remove the object.

Be sure the whisk and bowl are completely clean and dry before use — a small amount of fat or egg yolk will affect whipping performance.

Add liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients. Use Kneading/

Folding setting to knead ingredients into a dough ball. DO NOT place hands near dough hook when mixer is operating.

Machine will not work when switched “on”

EaSy SolUtIon

• Always ensure the speed control dial is in the “Off” position before start.

• The “thermo cut-off – Temperature Overload” protection device has not been activated automatically, allow more time for the motor to cool down.

• Always ensure the speed control dial is in the “Off” position before trying to set the count-down time.

Cannot set the time on the

Count-down timer.

Mixer suddenly switches off during mixing

“E1” error message is flashing on the count-up/down timer display

“E2” error message is flashing on the count-up/down timer display.

noise is heard when scraper beater is mixing

• The mixer has been stressed by overloading or stalling. The mixer will automatically activate the overload protection button and the unit will switch itself off. When this happens it is recommended that the unit is switched off at the power outlet and unplugged. The safety devices will the be reset and the Sage™ by Heston Blumenthal‰ product is ready to use again.

• The mixer will automatically stop operating if the motor is stalled. If this occurs, the ‘E1’ error message will flash on the count-up/down timer display. This is an electronic safety feature. This is normally a result of too much ingredients being processed at one time. Try removing some of the ingredients from the bowl. To continue mixing, turn the speed control dial to the off position and unplug the mixer from the power outlet. Then plug the mixer into the power outlet and use as normal.

• This may indicate that the motor has been stressed by overheating with excessive load. The mixer is fitted with a selfresetting safety device which safeguards against overheating on the motor with excessive loads. If overheating occurs, the mixer will automatically activate the overheating protection device and the motor will switch itself off. When the overheating protection is activated, unplug the mixer from the power outlet for at least 15 minutes to allow the unit to cool.

Turn the speed control dial to the “Off” position then plug the mixer into the power outlet and use as normal.

• When ingredients are in the mixing bowl, the scraper beater may make a slight noise as it scrapes the sides and bottom of the bowl. This is normal and should not cause concern. Do not turn the mixer on with the scraper beater in place if the mixing bowl is empty. This will cause the scraper beater to make a loud noise as it scrapes the bowl.
