Another benefit of gradually increasing the speed is that it will help you keep the ingredients from jumping off the bowl. 3. Use the right attachments The good thing about stand mixer is that you can attach different attachments to it and use them for various kitchen tasks. But before you one, make sure they are compatible with your mixer. Incompatible attachments lead to reduced performance of your appliance. Using incompatible attachments can also reduce the lifespan of your stand mixer. 4.

Therefore, read the instructions manual to know the proper distance to be maintained when using the mixer. 5. Clean after every use Cleaning the mixer after each use is very important if you want to keep the mixer for a long time. Attachments should be removed separately and then cleaned with a mixture of warm water and soap. Wipe the excess water or soap and keep it in air to dry before placing them back in the box.
