The professional standard for the home cook, Best Wire Whips are made by craftsmen in Portland, Oregon. Each whip is handcrafted for optimum stirring, mixing and blending, achieved through a unique wire design. Each whip shares the identical attention of wire spacing, radius curve and overall length to match every cooking need and preference. Whips are weighted for dynamic mixing control and comfort. Wire length is sized in concert with handle balance and grip dimension to give the cook a feel for the effortlessness and efficiency of the task. The Best Balloon Whip’s magic is in the 10-wire shape; a wider circumference to whip up the airiest meringues and cremes or to finish any blending more quickly than a cumbersome mixer. A loop secures the wires near the working surface to better reach shallow ingredients. The thick handle offers a solid grip for the serious souffle and meringue chef. Not every cook responds to the look and feel of stainless; for these Best offers warm wood - nature’s ergonomic answer to a good grip on a balloon whip. 10-stainless steel wires and 7/8-inch smooth, turned and lacquered birch hardwood handle is entirely dishwasher safe. 12-inch length.
