Here’s a quick guide to understanding the various types and uses of this essential kitchen tool which plays a crucial role in easing the process of cooking.
Best to combine ingredients, emulsification of vinaigrettes, whipping cream as well as mixing together batters.
Great to mix together small quantities of ingredients or blending together the contents of a mixing bowl, mini whisks are a handy tool to travel with as well.
If you want to make a rich gravy or pan sauce, the flat whisk is ideal to scrape off any remaining food bits off the surface of the pan.
Serving similar purpose as the all-purpose whisk, the non-stick whisk is ideal to use on enamelled cast iron cookware and other non-stick cooking surfaces.
Best for combining sticky dough ingredients and enabling the clumping together of the flour, dough whisks are good for bread-making.
