Product Information

The only negative on this affordable, reliable whisk was that after washing in a dishwasher, the handle had a slightly cloudy appearance. We recommend hand washing to preserve the shine of the stainless steel. It may not be the fastest electric mixer, but it does offer fantastic value for money, making it an ideal choice if you want lots of functions on a budget. Balloon whisks, with broad, teardrop heads are the most common variety of whisk available and are best suited to mixing in bowls where the wide head can really get to work. French whisks have more slender heads, making them ideal for whipping around pans, especially tall-sided pans. Gravy whisks have a single small coil at the end, meaning they’re perfect for tighter containers, whilst the shape of the end is designed for whipping up liquids like gravy and sauces.

Once it starts to form soft peaks, whisk in any flavourings and then keep whisking until the cream starts to feel more solid and the peaks don’t flop over any more (stiff peaks). Stop at this point. Don't be fooled by that soft handle, though: It looks like heat-safe silicone, but it’s not—and will melt if you leave it resting on the edge of a hot pan too long. But Claudia says that almost everything in her house was free. Recent acquisitions have included a sofa bed, a garden shed and some “lovely furniture”. There’s more than meets the eye when it comes to the humble whisk too. You’ll find balloon whisks and French whisks, small whisks and large, plastic whisks as well as metal whisks and even silicone-tipped whisks. And all of these are available at Lakeland. We’re talking whisks that are perfect for every whisking need, from whipping cream and blending sauces to beating eggs and creating light, fluffy chocolate ganache. A whisk for every job

With four speeds and a 400W motor, it’s a little more powerful than some of the cheaper options on this list, meaning tougher mixtures will be slightly less of a struggle. We’d still advise caution when using this to knead a family-sized loaf, though. If there’s too much dough, it’s more of a hassle than a help, especially as this electric mixer is a tad heavier than most.

I need a whisk!!: Claudia and Debd are keen to maintain a sense of community in this Facebook group so to become a member you need to be Facebook friends with someone who is already in the group. If you're not, you could always think about starting a group of your own. We adore the versatility of this Oxo model—it handles heavy batters and light salad dressings with ease. To test it out, we mixed a homemade caramel sauce on the stovetop and were impressed with the silicone coating—nothing adhered to it while whisking, and it didn’t scratch the ceramic-coated cast-iron saucepan we used. The handle was comfortable to grip while mixing the heavy ingredients in the pecan pie like brown sugar while still being lightweight enough to stave off hand fatigue. In an oregano vinaigrette test, it was easy to angle the whisk into the bowl because of its flexibility. At 9 inches long and less than an inch in diameter, this stainless steel mini whisk is super handy for whisking the small stuff—and it fits more easily in a utensils drawer. You can use it to mix up salad dressings, stir hot cocoa, dissolve sugar or powdered creamer in coffee, scramble a single egg, and so much more. Some people even use it to mix baby formula. It’s not meant to be your main whisk, but it’s so nice to have on hand.Moreover, a hand whisk with a high wattage but cheap or unsuitable attachments will also leave you with poorly mixed ingredients, as they won’t work in the intended way. Hand mixers are obviously the cheaper choice for whisking and beating, but if you do a lot of baking, you might want to consider a stand mixer instead. Stand mixers are bigger and pricier but offer far more versatility in the kitchen. When it comes to whipping up cream, beating eggs, or getting the lumps out of your lump-filled gravy, nothing comes close to a good whisk. Sure, you can struggle on with a fork or a wooden spoon, but you’ll get much better results, faster, and with a lot more fun, with a whisk. This must be hand-washed, but the two heads easily came off and washed up nicely in warm, soapy water. Unlike similar items that drain disposable batteries, the battery is rechargeable using the included USB-C cord. For the affordable price tag, and small size that’s easy to store, this is a great buy.
