Gefu GF29208 Primeline Spiral Whisk, Stainless Steel, Silver / Black

Product Information

Good for whisking in bowls or sauciers, maintaining a constant motion in custards, blending dry ingredients together, and evening out batters. Balloon whisks: Balloon whisks are versatile and widely used. Thin wires bend into wide loops to create a large, round shape, making these utensils perfect for tasks like whipping cream and preparing batter, soup, and sauce. This type of whisk is characterized by its one single wire which spirals into a round shape. The overall shape is like that of a balloon whisk, but it is one single wire rather than a series of wires looping. Unlike other whisks, which are stirred around the bowl to aerate liquids, this type remains stationary in the bowl and is pumped up and down. Not to confuse things, but sometimes this is also called a spiral whisk, too.

a base with a built in ON/OFF switch and a green POWER ON light.It also has a storage compartment for one whisk.Finally I fill it with warm water, give it a small squirtof washing-up liquid and leave it soakinguntil thenext time it is required (often 2 hours or more). By that time the washing-up liquid has usuallydissolved any minute deposits remainingon the bottom. Afterwards I give it a good rinse. Cleaning The Whisks The most common type of whisk is the balloon whisk . These whisks have a long handle with flexible loops at the end that can create a lot of surface area and air bubbles when you whisk. This makes them ideal for whipping cream, meringue, and other light ingredients. You can also use them to incorporate air into batters for cakes and other baked goods. I find it interesting that it lies under the point where milk burns on the bottom of the bowl. It is obviously the point that got hottest in my case and I have seen them burnt out just here in other pictures I have seen on internet videos. It lies very near to the motor which might add to the heat in this area and reduce air circulation at this place within the container. The name says it all: whether you're whisking up a typical béchamel or hollandaise, creating a pan sauce with butter, or preparing a French meringue, these whisks are your best friend. Balloon, ball, spiral, cage, coil. No, this isn’t “I Spy” at the circus. We’re talking about different types of whisks and which is best for which type of cooking or baking project.

Suggested uses: The uses for a balloon whisk are many, and include but are not limited to mixing eggs, vigorously whisking air into egg whites or cream to create meringues or whipped cream, lightly mixing together dry ingredients in lieu of sifting. French whisk: Nylon: Nylon whisks are typically coated with silicone and have a lightweight, comfortable feel in the hand. They aren’t as durable as stainless-steel whisks. Handle

How many whisks do you own?

A spring whisk is constructed using a single tine that wraps around several times in a circular form. The wrapped coil is twirled enough to give the kitchen whipper some bounce (think of a coiled spring). Regardless of what you call it, this type of whisk is great for incorporating liquids together in pots and bowls using vibrations.

This is made of spiralled wire wrapped around a heavier gauge circular wire which is mounted between the two points (not a cross) of a plastic former with a central hole and a knob on top. The use of spiralled wire causes the whisk to generate more froth. Do not immerse the Nespresso Aeroccino milk frother in water. Instead, sponge it all over. Keep water away from the electrical connection underneath in the centre. If water does get in soak it up with a cloth or a piece of kitchen roll. Make sure it is very dry before using it again. Leave it upside down to let the air get around it for a while. One of my commenters (Craigh) found his spiral whiskgot contaminated. I suggest that, “If a whisk gets a build up of milk or calcium on it, then try soaking it in a strong solution of bicarbonate of soda orcalcium descaler. Ahalf hour should be enough time. Brush it clean with a toothbrush.”Plastic whisks cost less than stainless steel and silicone whisks, but they aren’t as durable. Consumers typically only get one to two years of use from a plastic whisk. Key considerations Types of whisks Cage whisks are widely used for whipping cream, and for good reason: never before has whipped cream been so luxurious. Whisk attachment Made with firm but flexible pieces of wood (usually birch), these are best for light whipping, mainly for baking. Silicone-Coated Whisks Because of its flexible, rounded design, a balloon whisk fits snugly into bowls and sauciers, allowing you to easily scrape the sides and corners.

For those who use stand mixers, a wire whisk attachment is available as well. This attachment may be connected to the stand mixer's head. It can be utilized for any task that calls for whisking, and it most closely resembles a balloon whisk in shape. Flat whisks: Flat whisks have a single layer of wire loops that curve up a bit at the end. They are ideal when you’re working with shallow bowls or pans and are excellent for preparing sauce, gravy, and roux. Plastic: Plastic whisks may be inexpensive, but they often aren’t very durable. The plastic could snap when you’re blending a denser mixture, and it can’t withstand high temperatures.

Ball whisks: Ball whisks feature a group of straight wires, each with a small ball at the end. The wires add air to the mixture and blend it well. Dry mixtures, thin mixtures, and containers with tight corners often call for a ball whisk. Suggested uses: This whisk is well-suited for mixing sauces (from mother sauces to pan sauces and variations), vinaigrettes, or for incorporating liquid into a roux while reducing any possible lumps. Ball whisk: Ball whisks are able to reach awkward places, scrape smooth surfaces, and mix dry materials with ease.
