How to choose a whisk for a whisk?

The main advantages of any whisk for beating are high-quality material, low cost and noiselessness during operation. This is a very useful tool in the kitchen, with which it is easy to prepare sauces, whisk yolks, create fillings for cocktails, baked goods, any pastry and much more. The main competitor of such an accessory will be a blender - a more functional, but also expensive pleasure.

The main purpose of the whisk is to mix several ingredients. In this task, it is important for the culinary specialist to "arm" himself with a mixer and a blender, however, such a technique will not be convenient for working with small portions and small volumes of mixed products. For certain manipulations in the kitchen, you can pick up a spiral, pastry, small or large, metal or plastic whisk. Choosing the right option means providing yourself with comfortable and enjoyable cooking.

Professional chefs recommend looking after an electric broom, with which it is easy to whip milkshakes, batter, eggs.

A quality whisk will come to the aid of both an ordinary chef and a professional master chef. It's easy to get lost in a wide variety of models, so when buying, start from the main technical characteristics of the product, brand name and price.

The classic retro spiral is highly ineffective. Many manufacturers give preference to more advanced forms of rims, presenting their collections in the form of:

• "Panicles" with balls - the design of the models represents metal rods with silicone ball-shaped rods, due to which the whisk itself, as well as the corners and walls of the dishes, when whipping, remain clean (especially relevant in the work of a pastry chef with viscous products - caramel or isomalt);

• springs - a suitable option for working in small containers, bowls, bowls;

• the rotating version is a mechanism, the principle of operation of which consists in vertical pressure on the handle, due to which the lower part begins to move (rotate);

• drops-petals - the optimal solution for whipping products with a liquid consistency (sour cream, cream, sauce, as well as for creating an omelet, pancake dough).

When choosing a quality tool, pay attention to the number of "petals" - the more there are, the better.

A key aspect when choosing a whisk for your home kitchen is the assembly material. It determines the service life and efficiency of a particular model. The handle of the tool can be made of wood, metal, plastic, have a silicone layer, a protective anti-slip coating. In the collections of famous brands BergHOFF, Leifheit Sterling, Gipfel, Rosle, KitchenAid and many others you can find:

• metal or steel whisk, the most durable, practical and reliable;

• plastic models are less effective, however, they are lightweight and have a colossal number of designs;

• a handmade bamboo whisk with a hundred prongs will certainly be suitable for mate and matcha tea, keeping the traditions of the ancient art of the Japanese tea ceremony;

• nylon (silicone) whisk, which is most often equipped with a non-slip handle, increasing the convenience of the kitchen utensil.

With these helpers, whip lightly into a thick foam, use them for cappuccino and for a shaker, showing off your culinary skills to the guests. When opting for plastic accessories, beware of high temperatures. The product heats up and may deform, bend. Stainless steel is a "heavy" material and can damage fragile cookware if mishandled. The most practical and versatile devices will be nylon or silicone models that tolerate heat well and do not scratch the surface.

Size will be an important criterion for choosing a kitchen whisk. It will depend on what kind of dish you are going to cook in: a deep bowl, a plastic bowl, or a glass bowl. The selected products are also important, their consistency:

• for small portions, products up to 25 cm long are suitable, which are often used for eggs, when creating the most delicate omelets, sauces, light creams;

• For large containers, prepare bulky accessories from 25 cm in length with a comfortable, long enough handle to deftly create mouth-watering treats from a huge amount of food in a large bowl.

For the hostesses and chefs of elite restaurants, interesting product design plays an important role. It can be with a bright coating, a skillful handle of an unusual shape, a logo of a famous brand. Such tools should organically fit into the interior of the kitchen and dining area, act as a kind of room decor.

For example, Whisked off models are presented in the form of a rocket and are designed to prepare dough for baking, transform products in a few seconds into a homogeneous mass without lumps. Rotating whisks are ideal for desserts and sauces, and are able to bring cake cream to an airy consistency. Thanks to them, delicious impregnations for the cake are created, and it also feels like a homemade soufflé melts in your mouth.

Some models even replace other kitchen utensils, for example, a four-spoke whisk is a good alternative to a spoon during mixing, and with 11 knitting needles they boldly compete with a mixer.Some cooks even "arm themselves" with battery-powered whisks, others prefer a reinforced mechanical type of model. When choosing a quality whisk, pay attention to 4 factors:

• scope of application (professional or home kitchen);

• culinary area (pastry shop, main kitchen, separately for cream, pancakes);

• intensity of use (for rare or frequent);

• design and convenience of the chosen model.

Choose a whisk that suits you best. Its presence is sometimes the key in the recipe of many dishes, from mousses and desserts to exquisite alcoholic or milk cocktails, confectionery.

In the Gipfel collections you can find interesting lines Comfort, Cezar, Orbit, the key features of which will be practical assembly and functional design. Choose from stainless steel or delicate nylon. Flat beaters, instruments with ornate or teardrop-shaped loops are very popular.
