Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oxo Good Grips 9-Inch Whisk
Customer Review: **My Favorite Oxo Good Grips Utensil**
Summary: 5 Stars
I love all the Oxo Good Grips kitchen utensils because they are so comfortable to use. I use this little 9" whisk a lot for small jobs. It is perfect for mixing up a little thickening for gravy, whisking a few eggs to use in recipes when baking, or for scrambling eggs. A larger whisk won't fit in measuring cups or small bowls.
Since I have arthritis in my hands, I find the Oxo good grips kitchen utensils to be the most comfortable on the market. One little bit of advice is to rinse the whisk immediately after using to make clean-up easier. I made the mistake of letting food dry on it a couple of times, and it made cleaning it more difficult. I highly recommend this whisk for all cooks.
Customer Review: Good but tiny
Summary: 3 Stars
The title kind of says it all. It has the typical Oxo grip on it, which is nice, but it's best for making personal servings of dishes/sauces. Not great if you're trying to make a big batch of anything.Customer Review: Rubber handle is nice, much better than that other whisk i bought. damn that other whisk to hell.
Summary: 5 Stars
worth getting, assuming you have the money to pay for it, and need of a whisk.
On the other hand, if you don't need whisks, or cannot afford this one at 7$, you might be better off buying something else.
Customer Review: great little whisk
Summary: 5 Stars
Not much else to say about it. It's smaller than the whisks I grew up with, so if you use big bowls, buy the next size up. Otherwise it's great. Customer Review: The Perfect Whisk
Summary: 5 Stars
Not only is this my favorite whisk, it is truly well made. While making a custard filling for caramel eclairs (you know those magical eclairs in the Simply Irresistible movie) I found that the balloon shape and the way the wires adapt themselves to the shape of a saucepan was highly desirable.
For one thing, you don't want any clumping in a sauce or custard and things do tend to get clumpy if you can't get into the inner edge of a saucepan. With a bit of pressure, you can whisk into every inch of a saucepan. This is not always possible with a plastic whisk which is definitely not as flexible.
The handle on this whisk makes it easy to keep a grip and OXO is known for their ergonomic considerations. I think of it as an almost suede rubber that is not only comfortable to hold, it allows your hand to grip the handle more firmly.
Now the reason the 10 stainless-steel wires are so sturdy is because they are sealed into the base with a clear resin material. This also prevents food from building up and I throw this whisk in the dishwasher without fear.
If you bang the wires against your hand you can see how sturdy this whisk is and I can almost imagine that somewhere in the world someone is using this whisk as a musical instrument.
When the cookbook says "whisk" this is the one I'd highly
recommend.
