Whisks for the Kitchen

Stock the kitchen with different types of whisks for cooking and baking. Whether you’re preparing a meal for the whole crew or just yourself, using the right kind of whisk makes everyday kitchen tasks easy; depending on the configuration and strength of the wires, each whisk is suited to stirring different mixtures. Are you preparing breakfast? Make sure the scrambled eggs are fluffy by beating them with a balloon whisk before pouring them on a hot fry pan. Then, aerate the pancake batter for proper consistency using a French or Danish dough whisk. If you're making a sauce such as berry compote to drizzle atop your meal, use a flat whisk to keep the sugars from burning. When making salad dressings, opt for small whisks or mini whisks to incorporate more air while emulsifying. Once the meal is done, think storage: if you planning on storing your kitchen whisks in a utensil crock, find ones with handle styles that pair with your other kitchen tools. A stainless steel whisk, for example, provides the sleek look of a professional kitchen, while a wire whisk with a wooden handle complements a farmhouse feel. To incorporate a little color into your kitchen tools, look for silicone whisks featuring bright hues; as an added bonus, silicone-coated wires are extra gentle, protecting the finish on your non-stick cookware so you can stir directly in the pan. Save time during cleanup with whisks that are dishwasher-safe.
