Best Manufacturers Flat Roux/Gravy Whip 12-inch

Happily, I was able to purchase this Best Manufacturers whisk (also called a whip) in an Amazon holiday lightning deal, so I was able to save about fifty percent of the current price. Without a doubt, this whisk is an excellent product. It is well-constructed and sturdy, yet flexible enough not to get bent during robust use. Its chief additional benefit, for my purposes, is its shape. The length and flat presentation of the wires is perfect for reaching the bottoms of my pans, and the position of the wires allows for perfect blending when I whisk gravies and sauces. I purchased the full stainless-steel version, and all of the cooks in my household love it. I recommend close inspection of the various models within the product information; click on each picture and you will see the various construction materials (wood, metal) and colors. Each model is a different price; the prices are accessed by clicking on each picture of the different whisk models. Happy cooking!

Very nice whisk. The prongs are buried in wax in the handle, so it won't come apart. I have several of these in various sizes. The 12-inch size is best overall. A flat whisk is my favorite type of whisk. Works great, and easy to clean. Scrub it off with a brush, throw it in the dishwasher, and it's all shiny for the next use.

I like to soak my French Toast in the egg mix a bit longer than you probably should. This particular whip is perfect for lifting it out and letting the excess drain off without the bread falling apart. Also a great space saver in my RV utensil drawer. I'm sure it would be good for boats too. Excellent for it's intended purpose as well although it rarely gets used that way around here...

This whisk has a nice feel and is great for preparing sauces. The length gives you a little more safety from splatters. It is well made and appears to be sturdy.I have downgraded this tool by one star since my original review. I have used the whisk a little more, and unfortunately, the handle slid off. I was surprised to see that it was glued on. I no longer have the packaging for the product, but I would caution you that this might not be a dishwasher-safe item. As for its look, heft and feel, I am still in favor of this item; however, I will hand wash it from now on.

If you like to mix by hand this is the whisk to use. Sturdy enough for the heaviest cookie dough. So good I now have two of them.

There are two types of whisks: gravy and balloon. A balloon whisk is designed to fluff your food, and a gravy whisk is designed to mix it easily. I LOATHE balloon whisks because they are impossible to clean. This is nice compromise. It's stiff enough to make gravy and quiche. It's also whisky enough to fluff your eggs and meringues... especially if you are using an unlined copper pot. AND... I can clean it.

I ordered this on accident, but kept it anyways because it seemed like a good idea and I'm something of an amateur chef. Anyways, it REALLY helps. It's inexpensive and very high quality. The steel whisk parts are thicker than usual, and do a great job of breaking loose bits in a pan. As far as whisking gravies, yeah - I never want to make a gravy without one. Definitely a great purchase and this is a solid, well-constructed product.

I saw this on a YouTube video and knew I needed it. Not only is it wonderful for making gravy from scratch, it is perfect to use for all your cooking needs.
