The ball whisk is a modern kitchen tool with strands ending in weighted balls that make mixing and washing easier. It has beaded strands that can be used in any container shape, and is easy to clean. It comes in different sizes and can shorten whisking time.
A ball whisk is one of many different types of kitchen tools in the whisk family. Looking more like modern art than a stirring tool, each strand on the whisk ends in a weighted ball. This new whisk design is said to make mixing and washing faster and easier.
There are usually twelve strands of beads – eleven long ones surrounding a shorter strand – that move independently. The weight at the end of each thread makes a cook’s strokes more efficient, incorporating air more thoroughly into the food or liquid being beaten. Some cooks report mixing their food too much the first few times they use a whisk, because they’re used to a regular wire whisk. However, people are usually able to adjust their bangs fairly quickly.
Along with increased efficiency, this whisk’s weighted balls and individual wires allow it to be used effectively in containers of all different shapes. Beaded strands reach into corners and work at any angle. They can whip cream or eggs, mix liquids and batters, stir sauces in skillets, and blend dry ingredients. A ball whisk can be used on the stovetop or in mixing bowls.
A stainless steel ball whisk is extremely easy to clean. There are no nooks or crannies for the batter to get stuck in, making it more sanitary. They are dishwasher safe, but can also be cleaned quickly and easily by hand. When purchasing a ball whisk, make sure the area where the wires attach to the handle is sealed, to prevent food and liquids from accumulating in hard-to-clean areas.
Ball beaters are usually 10 to 14 inches (25.4 to 35.6 cm) long, including a hook at the top for hanging on a rack or wall. A mini version is usually about 8 inches long and can be used for mixing or whipping ingredients in smaller containers. As with larger whisks, the weighted balls vibrate and reach every corner and edge, shortening whisking time.
