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.

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.

This 9" whisk is well made ..with a very nice handle. Note..it is not a big one. For the bigger jobs....get their 11" whisk....which I will get soon.
A whisk is a must....so many uses. I even use them in some non-stick pans...carefully.
Ideal for mushroom.. other tin cream soups.

Thanks OXO and JB

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.

I use my Oxo 9" whisk for many different recipes (whipping air into eggs, mixing liquid ingredients, etc.), and it always performs like a pro and goes straight into the dishwasher for easy cleanup. My only recommendation would be to invest in a silicone-coated whisk as well; this will scratch up your nonstick cookware, but it works great for mixing and other general kitchen duties.

When I ordered this whisk I was slightly unsure about its usefulness, but I did know my smallest existing whisk was too large to get into the corners of small sauce pans (with straight sides) and too clumsy for whisking a couple of eggs in a small bowl.

Oxo has nailed it again. This whisk reaches into the corners of small pans, is just right for mixing a few eggs or incorporating ingredients into a pan sauce. The handle is comfortable. I'm a hero at home for making this purchase. Thanks Oxo.

I love all the Oxo Good Grips kitchen utensils because they are so comfortable to use. I use this little 9" whisk a lot for small jobs. It is perfect for mixing up a little thickening for gravy, whisking a few eggs to use in recipes when baking, or for scrambling eggs. A larger whisk won't fit in measuring cups or small bowls.

Since I have arthritis in my hands, I find the Oxo good grips kitchen utensils to be the most comfortable on the market. One little bit of advice is to rinse the whisk immediately after using to make clean-up easier. I made the mistake of letting food dry on it a couple of times, and it made cleaning it more difficult. I highly recommend this whisk for all cooks.

This is almost a hybrid of the flat whisks and the balloon type. I use this several times per week and love the small size. It's great for mixing dry ingredients instead of sifting for baking, for mixing batter, egg replacers, and for dissolving green superfood powders into juices and water. Oxo is a staple in my kitchen--I love their stuff. Do measure because it's small--a feature I really like.

Not much else to say about it. It's smaller than the whisks I grew up with, so if you use big bowls, buy the next size up. Otherwise it's great.

Rgis a nice product and well made: should last me a while. I have maybe 7 diferent size and configured wisks and use them all. This tool is for smaller items in medium sized bowls.
