I used to always use an electric mixer, then did hand beating with a wire whisk for a while, and now have discovered what I consider the ultimate method for whipping cream: in the Cuisinart! I use the metal blade (the plastic one doesn't seem to do as nice a job), and have found that it is very important to leave the food pusher OUT of the tube, to allow sufficient air to be sucked in and mixed with the cream. mmmmm. Whipping one half-pint like this is OK, but it gets better with at least two half-pints in the bowl. Just be careful not to leave the machine on too long, or you'll have butter! (I usually add about a teaspoon of vanilla sugar per half-pint of cream, though you might not care for the extra sweetness.) Cheers, Chris Kent Purdue CS decvax!purdue!cak
