Product Information

With four speeds and a 400W motor, it’s a little more powerful than some of the cheaper options on this list, meaning tougher mixtures will be slightly less of a struggle. We’d still advise caution when using this to knead a family-sized loaf, though. If there’s too much dough, it’s more of a hassle than a help, especially as this electric mixer is a tad heavier than most. One day last year a friend and I went round to see what students had left and there were vacuums, tins of food, clothing – some of it washed and folded, loads of bedding, cooking implements, ornaments and so on.

You can use it to mix up salad dressings, stir hot cocoa, dissolve sugar or powdered creamer in coffee, scramble a single egg, and so much more. Some people even use it to mix baby formula. It’s not meant to be your main whisk, but it’s so nice to have on hand.

Hand mixers are obviously the cheaper choice for whisking and beating, but if you do a lot of baking, you might want to consider a stand mixer instead. Stand mixers are bigger and pricier but offer far more versatility in the kitchen. It may not be the fastest electric mixer, but it does offer fantastic value for money, making it an ideal choice if you want lots of functions on a budget. These are the two most common attachments for electric hand mixers and the ones you’ll need the most but some will come with extra attachments for different tasks, such as kneading dough.

As well as a variety of full-sized whisks, we also offer a selection of mini whisks. They’re brilliant for doing everything a large sized whisk can, but in smaller pots and pans and bowls. Mini whisks are also ideal for smaller jobs too, like whipping up milk for frothy coffee and cappuccinos, getting the lumps out of hot chocolate, or for blending vinaigrette salad dressings in glasses and mugs.

Moreover, a hand whisk with a high wattage but cheap or unsuitable attachments will also leave you with poorly mixed ingredients, as they won’t work in the intended way. Once it starts to form soft peaks, whisk in any flavourings and then keep whisking until the cream starts to feel more solid and the peaks don’t flop over any more (stiff peaks). Stop at this point.

Kitchen whisks

Kenwood is well known for making affordable yet durable kitchen appliances and this hand whisk is no exception. It’s relatively lightweight at 1.14kg and has five speed settings, as well as a pulse function. Attachment-wise, it comes with the standard beaters and two dough hooks for bread kneading. There’s also a useful little attachment-storage tool, so you can keep your beaters clipped in place when not in use, saving you from the inevitable drawer-rummaging each time you want to use them. Most immersion blenders come with a whisk attachment for bigger jobs, but if you’re looking for a single tool without extra parts, the FoodVille 3-speed milk frother is a great option. "Milk frother" is just a trendy name for a small whisk with power, and it’s especially appealing to those who want to make a coffee shop-style cappuccino at home. While there’s nothing wrong with corded appliances, you won’t understand the life-changing freedom of a cordless whisk until you’ve tried one. Being able to whisk from any angle, anywhere in your kitchen is genuinely fantastic and with enough charge for around 200 biscuits, you don’t need to worry about plugging it every night with your phone.

But Claudia says that almost everything in her house was free. Recent acquisitions have included a sofa bed, a garden shed and some “lovely furniture”. When it comes to whipping up cream, beating eggs, or getting the lumps out of your lump-filled gravy, nothing comes close to a good whisk. Sure, you can struggle on with a fork or a wooden spoon, but you’ll get much better results, faster, and with a lot more fun, with a whisk. All of our whisks, no matter their size or features, are made from high-quality, lightweight material making them both reliable and easy to wield. Most are dishwasher safe too, to make sure clean-up is as simple as possible. This gives her time to pursue interests such as volunteering for local community groups, including a community garden, which also provides some of her food, and Tiger Yard, a pop up community space, which has previously been located in East Street. Don't be fooled by that soft handle, though: It looks like heat-safe silicone, but it’s not—and will melt if you leave it resting on the edge of a hot pan too long.The Bosch CleverMixx is ideal for those who enjoy making the occasional cake or loaf but don’t want to commit to anything more expensive. It comes with two beaters as standard but, rather unusually, has a set of dough hooks for kneading as well. There are four mixing speeds to switch between, as well as a pulse function for short, sharp blasts. Balloon whisks, with broad, teardrop heads are the most common variety of whisk available and are best suited to mixing in bowls where the wide head can really get to work. French whisks have more slender heads, making them ideal for whipping around pans, especially tall-sided pans. Gravy whisks have a single small coil at the end, meaning they’re perfect for tighter containers, whilst the shape of the end is designed for whipping up liquids like gravy and sauces.
