Published on May 24, 2020, a whisk is a versatile kitchen tool that has been a staple in many households for years.
Whisks come in various shapes and sizes, but the most common type is the balloon whisk, which features a series of wire loops joined at the end and held together with a long narrow handle.
For use on non-stick cookware, a whisk with plastic loops would be the best option, as it prevents scratching the surface.
When choosing a whisk, stainless steel is a good choice as it is less likely to rust, making it a durable and long-lasting option.
Before buying a whisk, it's essential to hold it in your hands and mimic the whisking motion to ensure the handle is comfortable to hold.
Some whisk handles come in silicone or are molded, making it easier to grip when hands are oily or wet.
Whisks can be found online or at major supermarkets or kitchen utensils shops, with prices ranging from as low as Sh100.
Whether you're a seasoned chef or a beginner in the kitchen, a whisk is an essential tool that every kitchen should have.
