OXO Good Grips 28 cm Balloon Whisk

Good quality from OXO as usual. The handle is slightly big for my small hands but it’s ergonomic design makes grips comfy for long use

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.

Great size and complimentary to the larger standard size whisk. Very useful and good quality. Feels sturdy.

Very expensive but it is really good. It's weighty and solidly built I can't really comment on the whisking capacity because I use it really for stirring gravy. It's easy to use and feels solidly made. Very pleased. But hey, lower yae prices a bit.

Bought this after a cheap supermarket one and then a slightly less cheap supermarket one both fell apart after being used several times to mix thick things. The super cheap one had a thin, bendy metal handle which was hard to grip and almost hurt when mixing anything thick - this oxo one is completely the opposite. The handle is solid, chunky but shaped for grip and has a rubbery feel to touch (although I don't think it's rubber all the way through as it feels more solid). The whisk part seems strong and not bendy so far, and now I've used it several times it doesn't show any sign of being about to fall apart. It somehow makes it actually feel easier to whisk things too, probably just because it's so easy to grip I guess. This is a decent size whisk too, I'd call it an average home kitchen size, not huge but not small. I was looking at the potato masher in the same range but didn't want to buy both online at the same time without seeing them - now I've used this I'll be ordering the masher too as I'm fed up of buying cheap utensils which end up being bendy or fall apart etc. This feels like good quality which will last.

Good, general whisk to have in your kitchen drawer. No problems so far, easy to use and clean and it’s a good size too.

Works so well

The OXO Good Grips Mini Whisk is the perfect example of a "right-sized" tool that you didn't know you needed until you stopped struggling with its giant, clumsy siblings. At 7.25 inches, it’s the ideal length for whisking a couple of eggs in a small bowl, mixing a quick vinaigrette, or stirring a hot chocolate without splashing liquid all over the counter. The "Good Grips" handle is, as expected, comfortable and non-slip, even if your hands are covered in flour or oil. The polished stainless steel wires are sturdy enough to give you a proper emulsification but flexible enough to reach into the corners of a mug or a small saucepan. It’s a tidy, well-engineered little gadget that takes up almost no space in the drawer.

Najlepsze jaką miałem, poręczna i zawsze pod ręk. Co więcej, nic się nie dzieje w zmywarce

Perfect for what I need

Kaliteli, tutuşu da güzel. Teller çok kalın veya kaba değil, gayet hafif ama bir o kadar da sağlam hissiyata sahip bir alet.

This whisk has a fantastic handle and just does the job so well. Not flimsy like other cheap whisks I have purchased in the past. Great kitchen staple.
