The Calphalon Nylon Balloon Whisk works okay if you have to smooth out a sauce that is cooking in a nonstick pot. However, the 12-inch size is not the best for whipping egg whites. I use a 14-inch French Balloon wire whisk and an unlined copper bowl for this purpose. I like the looks of all the black Calphalon nylon utensils and keep them in a tall crock near my stove. This utensil is not used very often, so I would buy the others first (the flat nylon whisk does work for scrambling eggs in a nonstick pan though).

This item is nice but Ive had better.I know a wisk should be
somewhat flexable.However for mixing large batches of cake batter and or even a smaller size by hand.This item is extremly to flexable and messy.Its handle is hard to grip on to aswell.I would not buy this item again.

Before I go on, let me say I have lots of Calphalon products and only have had a disappointment in this utensil and the Pasta fork. Same reason on both, they are wimpy & overheat, not as in getting to hot to handle, but they become to weak to use. They do not hold up well under heat. The whisk is also not very sturdy where it need to be, at the bottom of the handle so you have support and a better grasp to beat your eggs, or whatever. I went out and bought a different one.

I purchased this item several months ago to use with my T-Fal cookware.I found it very useful and am still quite satisfied with it.My nonstick cookware is not the type you can use metal utensils on,so that is why I bought this whisk.I use it mainly to stir soups and gravies with.The whisk is not stiff enough to easily whip egg whites ,or stuff like that,and it was slightly overpriced I thought,after I got it.That is the only reasons I gave it a four star rating instead of a five star rating

This is a strong, sturdy and attractive whisk for all kinds of whisking. It doesn't do as well as medal whisks but does better than most plastic whisks i have used though. And it won't damage your non-stick cookware either. I suggest everyone have it and all the other calphalon utensils as well!

It is a great concept but the nylon is not rigid enough to be of much help in the kitchen. In order to be the least bit effective I find it necessary to hold it below the handle at the small end of the balloon. Yes, that means my hand is in whatever I am trying to mix! Not a tool worth having. This and its flat whisk mate are the only Calphalon disappointments that I have had.

best whisk in the world for those non-stick and hard-anodized pots and pans. Works great
