Amazon.com Review

In this new design for classic whisks, the individual beaded wires make short work of both mixing and washing. Eleven long wires surround one shorter one, and with the independent movement and extra weight provided by the end bead, air is incorporated much more thoroughly into whisked food. For example, a pint of chilled cream whipped about 30% faster, while egg whites were stiff peaks in about a minute. Washing is simpler, too. There are no little crevices for thickened liquid to get caught in, and it's dishwasher-safe. If there is any drawback at all, it's that you may overbeat food the first use or two--after that, you're sure to remember to adjust the time. --Jill Lightner

Product Description

This is the coolest looking little gadget we've seen in a long time. 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 whip eggs and batters.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only whisk you need, July 6, 2002

By	abycats (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

Gave these to everyone on my list for the holidays. The balls give weight to your arm motion, incorporating liquid into dry ingredients or lightening your eggs or whatever quickly and thoroughly. The whisk also feels solid in your hand without creating cramps no matter how thick the batter. Definitely a worthwhile purchase for any even semi-serious cook.

As mentioned elsewhere, the loss of the loops from the usual whisk design makes this whisk a dream to clean as well. Although I often like Silverstone or similar finishes, it's totally unnecessary here and might lessen its ability to mix and blend.

The 14" size is good for those with large hands but is a bit awkward for those not tall enough to be working from a height while the 11" is simply too small to get to the bottom of a normal 4 quart mixing bowl. This is the "just right" size.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent whisk, April 28, 2000

By A Customer

So easy to clean! I'll never go back to the old-fashioned whisk. Try turning it between your hands to make scrambled eggs extra fluffy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, January 25, 2002

By A Customer

What you cannot tell by the photo is that all of the wires are not the same length but rather they form a slant and the middle wire is shorter with a larger ball. All of the balls are attached in a way that was really intellegent (no place for gunk to hide!). I'm probably going to get another in a larger size to go along with this one. This is the best whisk ever!
