Amazon.com Review

This ingenious whisk is just one of the high-quality Profi Plus tools WMF makes for every conceivable kitchen task. Instead of the customary wire loops, the whisk employs 12 weighted balls on straight, flexible wires to whip cream and egg whites, blend sauces, and emulsify salad dressings. Because they move independently and reach into pan corners and bowl bottoms, the balls significantly reduce whisking time and aerate better than a conventional whisk. They're coated in nonstick so they won't scratch pans and bowls. Contemporary European in style, the whisk can be rolled between the palms or whipped in the customary fashion. It's 11 inches long, made of 18/10 stainless steel, and is beautifully balanced, with a satin-finish, cylindrical handle and a heavy-duty hanging loop. Seamless construction ensures cleaning ease. This tool is dishwasher-safe, durable, and a joy to use for serious cooks and novices alike. --Fred Brack

Product Description

Is this cool or what? Think of it as modern art for the kitchen. Better yet, it does a darn good job at whisking! The individual wires are topped with weighted balls that work at any angle and into corners to aerate and blend. The balls are made of plastic so they won't scratch non-stick surfaces.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest whisk design ever..., November 28, 2002

This review is from: WMF Profi Plus 11-Inch Nonstick Ball Whisk (Kitchen)

This whisk, and all of the Profi Ball Whisk line, are modeled after the asian-style broomstick whisk. There is not a better whisk out there. Firstly, the off-set balls will get mixtures from the sides of the squarest sauce pans. Second, the open-ended design disallows any mixture from becoming lodged inside the whisk. The loose ball ends allow for more air to become incorporated into your mixture. The Teflon balls on this particular whisk can be used to make the fluffiest scrambled eggs in the history of your kitchen without destroying even the most sensitive non-stick pan.
I cannot recommend these whisks highly enough to do them justice. I have one stainless in each size and a small Teflon whisk. I hardly touch my other whisks, EVER!
5 stars!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another 5 star rating, October 18, 2004

I can only echo the previous reviewer. I gave away all of my other whisks. I prefer the nylon ball ones over the stainless ones, and I have both. The smaller one is stiffer due to the shorter length and I prefer it. I seldom use the long one to be honest, but that may just be my cooking preferences.

This whisk will indeed change the way you stir. I use it for everything possible. This is a great stocking stuffer or gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice for expensive non-stick cookware, February 25, 2006

This review is from: WMF Profi Plus 11-Inch Nonstick Ball Whisk (Kitchen)

We just bought some really nice Anolon Titanium cookware, and at the price I wanted to really take care of it, which means being very careful with the kinds of utensils we use. I was looking for a whisk to use for making sauces and gravy, and the usual plastic or nylon balloon whisks just don't cut it - they tend to just push the roux into the corners of the pan, and they get all gunked up with all the roux stuck inside the balloon part. I saw this whisk and figured it was worth a try.

It definitely works great in my small pots. It's easy to get into the corners of the pots, and the non-stick balls don't leave any marks on the non-stick surface. It doesn't fill up with stuff like other whisks do, but it is a little bit more difficult to clean up by hand (I tend to give it a quick hand-wash then toss it in the dishwasher to sanitize). Great for scrambling eggs and other mixing uses as well.
