Table Talk » Essential tool: the whisk
Whisks are one of the workhorse tools in my kitchen. I use whisks for making gravy, smoothing out a sauce, mixing up the dry ingredients when baking, scrambling eggs, making cornstarch/water slurries for thickening, beating eggs, incorporating wet ingredients into dry ingredients when baking, and so much more. A whisk is a simple tool, but it is one that I always reach for when I am cooking.
If you've ever wondered how whisks are made, wonder no more. This video from Cooking Up a Story takes you on a tour of the Best Manufacturers plant to get the inside scoop on how whisks are made.
