One of the best non-traditional whisks to have on hand,
By
This review is from: Kuhn Rikon 10-Inch Galaxy Spring Whisk (Kitchen)
I've got way too many weird whisks, but this is one I would not want to give up.
It's very useful for pan sauces, but shines when whipping/beating eggs and especially for stirring in narrow spaces (glasses, jars, pitchers, etc). I prefer to use my "magic spoon" style whisk for salad dressings and other emulsions, but this one is close second. Calphalon now makes a similar style (saw it at Target) that is noticeable larger. I haven't tried that, but I would prefer the flexibility of the smaller whisk, since I frequently use this for mixing in small containers.

MOST USEFUL WHISK,

This review is from: Kuhn Rikon 10-Inch Galaxy Spring Whisk (Kitchen)
It is all too easy to end up with too many kitchen tools. Cooking on a boat in very cramped quarters is how I learned the value of multi purpose tools, that do not require power which was in short supply when under sail. No engine running means no battery charging.
This whisk is a winner. To whip eggs, the secret is to crack, up to nine large eggs, into a one pint measuring cup. Use a rapid side to side motion to break the yokes, then switch to an up-down motion to entrain air. Eggs need to be in a small tall container or they get away from the whisk. Recently I discovered how effective this particular whisk is for keeping tapioca from sticking to a sauce pan. Push the whisk all the way down and gently sweep the bottom of the pan every one to two minutes and nothing will stick. Nothing else works as well, because the spiral spring when compressed conforms to the pan. Spoons and other whisks only make contact here and there. Spiral whisks are easy to clean, just stick a spoon into the coil and twirl the whisk in water and dish soap. The spoon will scrape the spiral clean as the coil drags the spoon up and down. Other whisks are much harder to clean. Construction appears to be very good. After two months of frequent use, the spiral spring has not deformed or tarnished. I was a bit disapointed that this whisk, while designed in Switzerland, is made in China. Thus I can't be certain as to the grade of stainless steel used. Unlike children's toys, which can shed paint when chewed on, the whisk does not appear to shed any measurable metal. This concern is much greater for stainless steel cookware, with its large surface area. Teflon I feel is much more of a danger. Finally glazed ceramic cookware can contain lead in the glaze. All in all, highly recommended. UPDATE: still in perfect condition as of April 17, 2011.

If you like to make your own salad dressing, this whisk is an absolute must have! I make dressings all of the time and this whisk has helped improve their quality and consistency! I use this whisk a few times a week and love it!
