Balloon whisks

I have tried a couple of times to make meringue and it never gets to even soft peaks. I end up switching to my other mixer and giving up. I’ve used it on high-speed and nothing much really happens. It seems like the egg whites just climb up the side of the bowl and fly away from the balloon whisks. What am I doing wrong?

  • Hi Jen, it sounds like maybe the large black gear is either missing or not installed correctly. You should have 4 pieces you are working with:

    1) beater housing - this the black piece with the two metal posts that the beaters snap onto

    2) large black gear - this really only sits in the beater housing one way but if you’ve taken your beater assembly apart, you need to make sure you fit the beater back into the housing before installing the beaters

    3) and 4) a pair of multi wire balloon whisks

    the beaters should individually spin while the entire beater assembly turns on the center of the bowl.

  • OMG YES!!! I got my mixer secondhand and didn’t know what that piece was! I just put it in place and it looks like it will solve my problem! Thank you so much!!
