Can I use a hand mixer instead of heavy duty to make buttercream icing?
Q. I do not have the money to dish out yet for a heavy duty mixer. I need to make a birthday cake and need to use the buttercream recipe. I just do not know if I can use a hand mixer instead of the heavy duty! HELP!

A. Yes, just make sure you do it correctly and don't get the buttercream mixture everywhere! Heres my recipe which i use all the time to make a great butter-icing 140g butter, softened 280g icing sugar 1-2 tbsp milk a few drops food colouring (if needed) 1. Beat the butter in a large bowl until soft. Add half the icing sugar and beat until smooth. 2. Then add the remaining icing sugar with one tablespoon of the milk. 3. Beat until creamy then add the food colouring and mix well. 4. Add extra icing sugar to thicken or a little extra milk to make more runny if necessary.

How do i install the sound mixer to my win xp operating system?

Asked by Vadim - Thu Jun 12 14:36:54 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Vadim... You need to install your system sound driver. If you have an installation CD for your computer, the driver should be there. If not... Get your computer model and go to the manufacturer web site and search for drivers, sound driver among them, download it and install it, your problem should be solved. If you have a cloned computer, find out what motherboard you have and with that info search (google) it. Good Luck!!

How to get good image quality from computer to video mixer?
Q. Hi. I'm planning on purchasing a video mixer soon, which has only composite and s-video inputs. I'm curious of anyway I can get good image quality to the mixer from the computer, since when I use s-video from the computer to just a TV, it looks blurry. I'm not expecting it to look perfect as a normal PC monitor does, just so the text isn't as blurry and can be read easily. My computer has both a secondary VGA output and also an s-video output.
Asked by Robin3 - Tue Mar 24 19:35:57 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. What are you trying to achieve? The best results will come by setting your screen resolution to the mixer resolution, i.e. 720x480i or 720x576i or similar depending on whether PAL or NTSC. But realistically the output from the computer will look awful on small text etc. graphics should look okay. You will need to use sans-serif fonts and large font sizes to get a decent result. You will also need to calibrate your graphics card when hooked up via S-Video, go through a colour and gamma correction setup whilst looking at the TV monitor to get best results, the standard setting for most graphics cards are way to hot for video.

When I shake a martini, sometimes the glass sticks to the mixer. Is there a trick to separate the glass?
Q. The suction that is created between the glass and the mixer is so strong sometimes, that I have to separate them by crashing the mixer on the edge of the counter. How can other people separate their glass so easy?
Asked by vonnetrip - Wed Apr 23 19:39:38 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Be careful when you insert the glass into the shaker...if you insert it crooked, it will get stuck often. If you insert it straight, it will usually not get stuck. If it does get stuck, usually using your palm to hit the shaker will loosen it up. I would avoid smacking it on a counter as the glass could break. Broken glass at a bar is a bad thing, it could get into everything.

A. If you're referring to the faucet, then there's a special tool that you can get at Home Depot or Lowe's for that job. It's called a Faucet Nut Wrench(basin nut wrench). It'll be about 10"-12" in length with a flip head. The head will look like a spanner wrench head. It'll get into the tight space between the sink and the wall. Cost is about $10. Look in the plumbing department. Most hardware stores will have them too, but will cost a little more there.

When you fit the new one make sure that the taps are the right way around wrt hot and cold; also, if they're lever taps make sure that they operate in a way that suits the main user of the sink before doing anything up.

How long should we beat the cake mixture with a hand mixer ?

Asked by daisyblue84 - Wed Oct 31 11:53:47 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. At least 4 minutes. Use the highest speed on the mixer as well. the more air you incorprate, the higher the cake will rise and the more tender it will be. Muffins you beat as little as possible with a wooden spoon because you only want to blend muffins, you want to whip cake to make it light. At least thats what I learned in culinary school.

How do I fix a hand mixer that is making grinding noises?
Q. I use it mainly for baking and it makes a terrible grinding noise and the whisks don't spin very well when I am mixing something. If I take it out of the bowl, it spins and sounds fine. It will do this even if I'm mixing something that's not thick, like eggs. I bought it for $6---you get what you pay for! I was just wondering if it's a simple problem that has a quick fix. I need my mixer for the holidays!

A. see if the teeth on the gears fit snugly as you rotate them since under stress of thicker batter they'll try to dislodge and fail to mesh properly

How do you reduce feedback when recording an electric guitar through a mixer?
Q. I get a pretty annoying buzz whenever i try recording my electric guitar through my amp, through my mixer and onto my computer. Has anyone else experienced this and/or know tricks to reduce it?

A. You need to use a noise gate. These are sold as modules for a rack and also as pedals. For the sound to reach the amp, it must be at a certain level or higher. If it isn't loud enough, it doesn't go through - silence. You set the thresh hold just above the volume of the buzz, and you will never hear it again.

A. I do cake decorating and make a lot of icings. You really cannot whip buttercream up light enough for decorating without a stand mixer. For all the rest of the mixing it just makes it easier to do with the Kitchen Aid than by hand. I never mix anything by hand any more. Cakes, cookies, breads, pancake batter, meringues, puddings, make cookie crumbs, graham cracker crumbs, whipped cream, ... I don't use mine for mashed potatoes though because I think it makes them too creamy, it breaks the potato fibers down too much and they taste like baby food.
