Is he just...eyeballing everything? The face he makes at the sight isn't new per se, but it's always something to behold when such seemingly haphazard movements can draw such refined results. Chalk it up to experience, Roland thinks. He's already starting to whip the egg whites with the hand mixer, the noise of it, bumping of metal against metal slightly irritating to ears unused to the sounds of a busy kitchen though the president neither winces nor frowns at the task.
Hyper focus causes him to delay in response, taking a second or two longer than he should have to respond to the accusation. The hand mixer is turned off, one brow lifted in an arch that disappears into his hair.
"Well, I need these to become stiff peaks. Read the recipe, it says it right there. It's a lot harder than it looks." Says the man who gets to just hold the beater versus putting in the work for it, though to his credit it does say it precisely on the riven: 'Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a hand mixer, whip mixture on medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute.'
But he's missing a step within a step, barely caught with all the fussing they're doing between who's using the electric beater and who's using just the whisk. Roland's mouth opens for a retort until his eyes read words he could have sworn were not there before. The reaction drawn is instantaneous. "Gah! Hold on, no wonder I'm not getting anything. I need to add lemon juice and salt first..."
So there goes his claim to the hand mixer for now, setting it down on the counter while he puts the bowl down, favoring the lemon on one side and the salt shaker on the other. "If this isn't a good start, then I don't know what is."
