Whisks

The wire whisk is an essential kitchen utensil, a low-tech workhorse that professional chefs and novice bakers alike rely on for everyday tasks. Though humble, the whisk is multifunctional and can be used to make emulsions, combine wet or dry ingredients for baking projects, and more. 

Whisks vary in shape and form. The classic whisk, like the Goma Universal 14-inch Whisk, has a bulbous shape and is made from curved stainless steel wires that help beat air into eggs, as well as stir sauces or salad dressing. The Balloon Whip’s wider, more rounded shape is well-suited to beat a lot of air into egg whites or heavy cream. 

What are the different types of whisks?
There are several types of whisks, each designed for specific kitchen tasks. The balloon whisk, with its wide, rounded shape, is ideal for whipping air into mixtures like egg whites or cream. A flat whisk has a flatter, more compact shape that works well for stirring sauces and gravy, especially in shallow pans. A French whisk is similar to a balloon whisk but with a narrower profile, making it great for mixing batters and emulsifying dressings. A coil whisk features a spring-like coil at the end, perfect for reaching into corners of pots or bowls to mix thoroughly. Each type offers unique benefits depending on the texture and consistency you want to achieve.

I'm looking for a whisk. What should I consider?
When choosing a whisk, consider the type of tasks you’ll use it for most often. Balloon whisks are versatile and great for whipping and aerating, while flat or coil whisks are better for sauces and reaching corners. Look for durable materials like stainless steel wires and a comfortable, ergonomic handle for easy control during use. The size of the whisk matters too — smaller whisks are ideal for whisking small amounts, while larger ones handle bigger batches more efficiently. Also, consider how easy the whisk is to clean; dishwasher-safe models can save time.
