Whisk

The whisk is an age-old kitchen standard and uses a thinly wired head to add air into liquids. A whisk is a very useful tool in the kitchen and some recipes can't be made without one. The whisk is ideal for mixing creams into whip cream, drippings into gravy, and for creating smooth sauces. Typically, a whisk is crafted from metal wires but can also be made from plastic and nylon materials.

There are also a wide variety of whisk sizes and shapes. Some shapes include rounded, flat, and spring. All have specific abilities that lend themselves to various recipes. The design of a whisk allows it to quickly move through liquids, which in turn adds air to the mixture. It also allows for liquids to be stirred without causing a disturbance as spoons would.
