The Best Whisks
Anyone who is serious about baking and cooking in general knows that a well-crafted whisk is a must-have if you want to consider your kitchen set complete. There are many different recipes that call for a whisk; whipped coffee, anything with eggs or desserts where you’re using whipped cream. You can also use a whisk if you want to lightly mix dry ingredients, but you would prefer not to sift them. With a whisk, you want a combination of durability and flexibility. A sturdy handle is an absolute must-have. The handle should be sealed, so that food or liquid cannot get inside. The last feature you should be looking for in a long-lasting whisk is for the wires to be of stainless steel. This will ensure that the whisk will not react when it comes in contact with acidic foods. Read on for our 3 top whisk choices.
