Product Description

This is the coolest looking little gadget we've seen in a long time. Think of it as modern art for the kitchen. Better yet, it does a darn good job at whisking! The individual wires are topped with weighted balls that work at any angle and into corners to aerate and whip eggs and batters.

Amazon.com Review
In this new design for classic whisks, the individual beaded wires make short work of both mixing and washing. Eleven long wires surround one shorter one, and with the independent movement and extra weight provided by the end bead, air is incorporated much more thoroughly into whisked food. For example, a pint of chilled cream whipped about 30% faster, while eggs for omelets took about five seconds. Washing is simpler, too. There are no little crevices for thickened liquid to get caught in, and it's dishwasher-safe. If there is any drawback at all, it's that you may overbeat food the first use or two--after that, you're sure to remember to adjust the time. --Jill Lightner

Best whisk ever!
A dream come true for beating and airating. This is what I reach for instead of balloon whisks, which don't make contact with the bottoms of mixing bowl or pan. Because each of the individual "legs" moves and beats independently, it beats much faster than traditional balloon whisks. Very comfortable to use. I've recommended this and given away many as gifts to cooking friends.

Brilliant.
I love this whisk for two reasons. First, it works great. When you're whisking a vinaigrette with a conventional whisk, you're likely to leave mustard clumps at the bottom of the bowl unless you take an unnaturally long time. The balls on this thing bring it all up very quickly. Similarly for a soup on the stove that you don't want to burn. So it works better than other things in many circumstances. It's also much easier to clean.

Second, it is a beautiful everyday reminder than even in the most well-travelled areas there is always room for innovation. Not everything has been thought of! Call me crazy, but this fuels my optimism about the world, which means that having this whisk around makes a difference in my life.

I own two sizes having bought a larger one first. I would buy only this one if I were doing it again. I tend to cook for one, two or sometimes four people. If you cook large volumes of stuff you might want a larger one.

Whisked away!
I purchased this whisk because it sounded like a unique design, and after using it a few times (eggs and batter mostly) I think it's the best design out there. It does whisk things quicker and smoother. It is very easy to clean. No criss-crossed wires like in conventional whisks to trap food and cause rust. It feels very ergonomic too. The steel balls seem to do most of the work so your wrist doesn't have to. I suppose this would be a nice design for people with limited mobility. I liked it and am going to put some in the stockings of my "foodie" friends this Christmas.
