OXOGood Grips 9-Inch Silicone Whisk - Red

Good grip, good length and a sturdy whisk head

My life will never be the same after this purchase. For too long, mediocre, below-average whisks have darkened my door and plagued my kitchen. They all claim to be sturdy, to be strong, to be the whisk you can rely on, then snap like a daisy in the wind at the first hint of a lemon meringue pie. Full of false promises, empty vows, my heart was cautious when I placed this order, too long having been deceived by those appliances I trusted. What a happy surprise then, to receive this joy in the post. From the first moment I grasped the non-slip handle and felt the weight of the perfectly balanced prongs in my palm, I knew this was different. This was indeed, in the immortal words of Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez, the start of something new. Since this purchase I have whipped icing, cream, cake mix, eggs - even a whimsical hot chocolate at one point, and this beauty has remained perfect. Beautiful. Linda Evangalista-eqsue. I cannot ask anything more of it, bar asking it to remain in my life for as long as it deigns to grace me with its presence. I see many happy years of beating liquids into a semi-solid state together for us, and I could not be more content. If I could convey any sort of message to it, I would just say thank you. Thank you for the chance to begin this beautiful journey together - i'd whisk it all for you.

Nice grip on handle and very good quality product. I particularly like the fact the whisk wires are finished with some kind of resin where they meet the handle. This stops water getting in and loosening the handle. (A problem I’ve had with cheaper ones in the past).

I purchased this whisk recently to replace a cheap whisk I'd been making do with for a long time. There is a very notable difference between the two. My old one had a silicone covering on the wires, which over time, had started to come loose at the ends. I didn't like having to send a long time washing it to ensure nothing was caught under the silicone layer, making it unhygienic. The handle was shiny, thin and cylindrical with a sharp edge to it so wasn't terribly comfortable for long term use.The Oxo whisk, on the other hand, is an absolute joy to use. It is neither too lightweight, nor too heavy; it has just the right amount of weight behind it, making it perfectly balanced. This ensures easy, more efficient whipping so you won't be working at that bowl of cream for what seems like a lifetime. The handle has a nice soft grip to it preventing unwanted friction whilst in use and the wider shape makes it feel very natural to hold. It also washes up easily by hand since there's no fiddly silicone covering on it but is indeed dishwasher safe too.As a professional chef, I have used many types and brands of whisks in work and something which can be quite common is the wires coming loose after heavy usage. The wires on the Oxo whisk, however, are very sturdy without being clunky and are held firmly in place with a little resin giving this whisk the longevity that many cheaper whisks lack. That being said, it's also great value for how well designed it is.If you are someone who is looking for one good quality, versatile whisk and are not sure which size to choose, I’d recommend you go for the 11 inch (28cm) over the smaller 9 inch one. The 11 inch is a good all-rounder, whereas the actual head of the latter is probably smaller that you would imagine. The size and extra wire in the larger version will also mean for less strenuous work on your arm!Overall, this is a wonderful product from a highly regarded company, that I see myself using for many years to come.

I recently moved out my family house and I've just started buying all the things I need for my kitchen, the other day I was watching a G. Ramsay video on the internet and I've noticed he was using this whisk, as I wanted to replicate his dish I was tempted to get a somewhat cheaper one, As the price was reasonable and it looked particularly well-made I've decided to go for this one and I haven't regret.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 rubber handle on this whisk is very well made and makes it easy to keep a firm grip all the times even with wet hands/The 10 stainless steel wires are very sturdy because they are sealed into the base of the handle with a clear resin material preventing food from being trapped and also making it easy to clean.The medium size in my opinion makes it versatile for eggs, cream and everything else you'll ever need a whisk for.You can wash it in the dishwasher without fear!I absolutely suggest this product+-+ Did you enjoy this review???, please use the voting button down here to mark it as helpful!

I absolutely swear by Oxo and having needed a new whisk it made sense to go with the same brand I've pretty much got everything from in my kitchen.Very easy to hold, no grip burn that I used to get. The wire is sturdy and mixes brilliantly. Plus there is a good weight behind it which takes out some of the effort when hand mixing.Cleans up nicely and came out fine from the dishwasher.A*
