Which egg whisk should you choose
Datetime:2016-03-24 Hits:
Depends on what you’re making. Here’s an exploration of the many types of egg whisks out there today, including an exploration of the baking and cooking projects best suited to each one. We’re talking about different types of egg whisks: these are just a few of the many types that live in kitchens, nestled between wooden spoons and spatulas, around the world, contributing to cooking, baking and cake decorating efforts.
A note on materials
While wire is the most popular material for a egg whisk, it’s not the only type out there. You may see wooden or plastic whisks in a number of the different styles. Here’s a brief explanation of both materials.
Wooden whisks:
Made from firm but flexible pieces of wood (usually birch), these egg whisks are generally used for light whipping, primarily for baking.
Silicone coated whisks:
These are wire whisks, but the wires are coated with heatproof silicone. They are a great choice for non-stick pans, as they will not scratch the protective coating, and their non-stick surface can make cleanup easier.
