Can a hand whisk or electric whisk be used instead of a stick blend?

Thank you for your enquiry.
Please see the below response from our Research and Development Team;
“Yes it can, but remember to check the finished pH to ensure it is in the correct working range for Preservative K.”

I was wondering if preservative K could be used instead of preservative 12?

Hello Ester,
Thank you for your enquiry.
Please read the below response from our research and development team;
“Yes it does in a recipe that totals 100g. So, you weigh solids as well as liquids. 15% will be 15g and so on. The recipe will total 100% and will also total 100g. If you then want to make any changes like adding a new active material and the website guidelines say to use it at 4%, for example, you add 4g but remember that the total should still be 100 so it is most common to deduct 4g from the water stage of the recipe as well. Once you are happy that the 100g you have made is how you like it, it is easy to scale it up. Multiply the recipe by 3 to make 300g or simply add a zero to every number to make 1000g/lkg.”
Kind Regards

Good Afternoon Marisa,
Stick blend is another term for using a blending appliance like a hand blender for example.

Thank you for your enquiry.
Please see the below response from our Research and Development Team;
“No it can’t, sorry. It needs to be a high shear speed, which you cannot get with a whisk. It needs to be either a stick blender or an homogeniser.”
