Using A Whisk

  • Foods become frothy and smooth when beaten with a whisk.

  • Most whisks are made of wire loops fastened to a handle, but some are made of wood.

  • Whisks range in size from tiny ones, suitable for beating one egg, to large balloon-shaped whisks for beating doughs.

  • A whisk is especially useful in preparing smooth egg-thickened sauces.

  • This utensil also is used to beat egg whites in a copper bowl.
