Customer Reviews

Outstanding quality and great price.
This sturdy nylon whisk, like the rest of the products from the OXO Good Grips line, is a great value of superior quality, unsurpassed durability, and flawless performance. Its ergonomic design, hefty body, and big, pressure-absorbing, non-slip grip, complete with flexible fins to accommodate your fingers, are the reasons why you'll prefer this product to the more traditional models, as they will allow you comfortable, daily, wet or dry use while keeping you away from any stress-related injuries.
Its elegant, stylized shape fits seamlessly with the rest of the OXO Good Grips collection and is designed to the let flow the most air into your creams, meringues, custards and frostings for fluffier, even results. This is also a great tool for whisking directly into the saucepan on the stove, since its non-abrasive nylon materials are safe to use on non-stick cookware and are heat-resistant up to 400º Fahrenheit. Moreover, it comes with an oversized hole at the tip of the handle for easy hanging, and its easy-to-clean, simple construction and dishwasher-safe, hardwearing materials make it an addition that will prove a dependable part of your cooking equipment for years.
After submitting this product to over three years of normal, everyday use, mine is still just like new.

As good as nylon can be...
Ideal for those of us who don't want to scratch up our non-stick pots and pans, but not as strong as a metal whisk for those with other cookware or more labor intensive applications requiring greater durability.

As a bonus though the handle is standard Oxo and quite comfortable.

Wish I had known
The hole in the handle is great for hanging, the handle is comfortable for my large hands, the whisk is lightweight and it works.

The cons are: it is "top heavy" and falls out of the bowl if I rest it against the sides and the ridges at the bottom of the handle are impossible to clean - I use this mostly for eggs and pancakes and I need a small brush or toothpick to get batter out of the small ridges at the bottom of the handle grip.

I am still using this whisk as I'am very frugal but if I forget and leave it resting in the bowl after I pour the eggs in the pan it ends up on the floor- it is so light weight you don't realize that it is top heavy.
