    CHRISTOPHER Tan’s newest cookbook carries a table that explains exactly what he means by “mix at medium-low” speed.

    If you own a Teddy Varimixer, set the dial between 1 and 1 ⅔. If you use a Kenwood Chef Titanium, set it at 2. Kenwood Chef XL? Make it 4. And for the Artisan KitchenAid, it should be between 3 and 4.

    There’s a reason why Tan calls himself a “nerdbaker”. And if this table got you excited, then NerdBaker 2: Tales from the Yeast Indies is the right book for you.
