bowl. Weigh the Gelling Agent into a small cup, and set aside. While
holding the whisk inside the bowl, carefully place the bowl onto
its holding pins and snap it in place, then attach the whisk to
its shaft on the mixer. Using the handle on the right side of the
machine, raise the bowl to its mixing position. You are now ready
to use the following schedule:

At 10 minutes, add the Gelling Agent. Slowly drip it into the mix.
After all the Gelling Agent is added, use the handle on the right
side of the mixer to drop the bowl while the mixer is turning. This
allows the “dead spot” of unblended material inside
the whisk to drain out and be mixed into the rest of the batch.
Raise the bowl to its normal position after two or three revolutions
of the whisk. Use this lowering procedure two or three times in
the final minutes of your schedule. At 12
minutes, turn the mixer off. Detach the whisk before trying
to remove the bowl. Your foam is now ready to fill molds.
