This nine-inch, narrow-profile whisk is sized for use in small containers where a bigger, clumsier tool would fall short. Like all OXO tools, it’s designed for maximum ergonomic efficiency, which in this case means you’ll create wonderfully fluffy whipped cream in less time and with less effort. A comfortable, beautifully balanced handle stays non-slip whether used wet or dry, while the highly polished stainless steel wires stand up to use after use. The handy tool cleans up easily and is dishwasher-safe. --Mary Park

5.0 out of 5 stars I even whip cream now July 13, 2000

By David Wihowski

I am a quadriplegic/tetraplegic (C5-6 if you care). I have about 1/3 use of my hands and 1/2 use of my arms. I can use most whisks with some effort, however, this Oxo one is almost effort-free for me. I even whip small amounts of cream (1/2 pint or less) because this whisk works so well for me.

My mother, who has mild arthritis, loves this whisk as well.

This whisk is a nice size for whipping up a small amount of eggs (2-8), cream, crepes, etc. You'll need a full size whisk for more substantial recipes.

As with most Oxo tools it is very ergonomically designed: it fits the hand and does the job it is supposed to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Whisk May 14, 2008

By Rebecca of Amazon HALL OF FAMETOP 100 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Not only is this my favorite whisk, it is truly well made. While making a custard filling for caramel eclairs (you know those magical eclairs in the Simply Irresistible movie) I found that the balloon shape and the way the wires adapt themselves to the shape of a saucepan was highly desirable.

For one thing, you don't want any clumping in a sauce or custard and things do tend to get clumpy if you can't get into the inner edge of a saucepan. With a bit of pressure, you can whisk into every inch of a saucepan. This is not always possible with a plastic whisk which is definitely not as flexible.

The handle on this whisk makes it easy to keep a grip and OXO is known for their ergonomic considerations. I think of it as an almost suede rubber that is not only comfortable to hold, it allows your hand to grip the handle more firmly.

Now the reason the 10 stainless-steel wires are so sturdy is because they are sealed into the base with a clear resin material. This also prevents food from building up and I throw this whisk in the dishwasher without fear.

If you bang the wires against your hand you can see how sturdy this whisk is and I can almost imagine that somewhere in the world someone is using this whisk as a musical instrument.

When the cookbook says "whisk" this is the one I'd highly
recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Oxo Whisk June 13, 2000

By Cynthia

All oxo products are a dream to use, so the whisk was a very welcome addition to my kitchen stash. The handle is so comfortable, that it makes each and every whisking job a breeze. The only reason I give it four stars rather than five, is the fact that I have difficulty cleaning the small ripples on the handle.
