Product Description

Once you've used this dough whisk, you'll count it as one of your essential baking tools. It's perfect for mixing heavy dough prior to kneading. Way better than a spoon and much easier to clean. Sturdy and well made of a beechwood handle and stiff stainless steel wire head. Flow-through wire whisk design blends ingredients thoroughly and gently. Overall length: 15 1/4" Tip: Rinsing off dough with cold water works better than hot water. "I don't know how I got along without this! Mixing dough with a spoon or spatula was like slogging through quicksand, but this sturdy whisk just slices through. Its rounded shape makes it easy to scrape the sides of the bowl so everything is incorporated, and so little sticks to it that it's really easy to clean. Besides, it makes me feel "professional". Love it! Thanks for the great product and the great service!" Margaret, Ball Ground, GA "Yesterday the postman delivered the Danish Dough Whisk I ordered last week. So I immediately set about preparing a dough (which is now proofing after an 18 hour rise). It is truly a magic wand - so effective and so easy to clean. Thank you, Thank you!" Karil Rauss, Zurich

5.0 out of 5 stars Is this really necessary? July 21, 2010

I wondered if I was just impulse-buying another ultimately useless kitchen gadget, but it turns out to be one of my go-to tools for baking. A sturdy workhorse sort of whisk, it makes quick work of heavy batters and bread dough. Rinse promptly under the cold tap for easy cleanup.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works, and looks properly funky in your tool crock! August 22, 2010

I actually remember something very similar to this in my grandmother's kitchen. She was Norwegian so the "Danish" approbation probably fits, but I suspect this tool was pretty common in a lot of european homes in the days before food processors and stand mixers. No one is going to confuse this thing with an All-Clad product as it's pretty rustic. My example actually came from Poland and the "stainless" steel looks a lot more like "mystery metal". In addition the wood handle isn't finished particularly well and probably shouldn't be left soaking in water after use.

So, after trashing this thing, why the 5 stars? Because it works very, very well. The tool head initially moves easily through the bread dough spinning the mixture back onto itself and as the mix stiffens the dough begins to ball up just like it's supposed to. A few more strokes and the dough ball has captured all the stray bits and pieces the same way a food processor does. Rinse it in cold water (just like the info says), put aside to wash later, cover your dough ball for a rest, and you're good to go. Simple and effective..... and it does look satisfyingly funky in the tool crock!

Just for clarification, the whisk I purchased came via amazon from Breadtopia. Whether other marketplace sellers supply exactly the same product is unknown.

I was surprised at how nicely this works. Dough doesn't stick to it at all and it is much easier to clean that a spoon. Vendor delivered on time.
