   This balloon whisk deserves 5-stars.The problem with many silicon whisks is that the silicon material used to make the whisking wires is too soft, too flexible, and gives too much such that the whisking effectiveness is substantially reduced. This problem is especially prominent when whisking a thicker batter. It’d be like swimming through molasses.This Oxo silicone whisk does not have the same problem — or I should say, the least amount of give (flex) compared to other brands. And it only gives slightly when compared to the Oxo Balloon WIRE whisk made out of stainless steel.Why do you want to get a silicon whisk, you ask? For two primary reasons: 1) safer on your teflon or ceramic coated pots, pans, and dishes. And 2) food sticks to silicon wire slightly less than stainless.For most people #2 reason above is not apparent or perhaps not that important, and people are generally correct. However, if you’d observe side by side (take two balloon whisks one made of stainless and one silicone) and whisk up crepe batter, you will find the batter drip off the silicone whisk ever so faster, quicker, cleaner than the comparison stainless whisk. Won’t make or break the batter or make or break the recipe, but hey, it’s an observable fact and it may be important to some and totally irrelevant to others.As for reason #1 above, yes, you have to own a good silicone whisk if you own teflon or ceramic coated cookware. I think the reason is pretty self explanatory. You just don’t take metal to teflon.Well, like I said, the silicone material used here is pretty sturdy. It is very comparable (in terms of results and whisking power) to the stainless variant. I’d have to whisk a bit stronger to compensate for the softer material but, again, not significantly so that I’d complaint. Whereas the other products on the market I’d say “nahh, tooo soft.. too difficult to whisk up!”This whisk is dishwasher safe. The huzzle is stainless, and the grip is comfortable, nonslip. and smooth.5 Stars given because the product delivered: 1) Function 2) Durability 3) Ease of use and clean 4) Balance of function & elegance and 5) Total, Overall balance of everything mentioned above against the price you pay.For the price you pay, this is a good whisk.

   I could not be more pleased with this whisk. I found this after throwing out yet another silicone whisk that was crumbling and falling apart. I decided it was time to invest in a better quality version, rather than just continuing to pick up cheap ones every other month. This is a vastly better whisk and, as best I can tell, this one is going to last for a while.Before ordering however I would recommend that you consider or reconsider the size of whisk you want. I opted for the 11 inch version because I have a gas stove top and like to keep my hands as far away from the hot flame as possible. I should have gone with the smaller choice, as everything about this whisk is larger, not just the handle. I regularly cook for 2-4 people and this whisk is very big, almost too big, for the amount of food I prepare. Unless you are cooking for a large family I believe you’ll be happiest with the smaller choice.

   I ordered this to replace an old whisk that had worn out. I really like the color and the thickness of the handle – I like that the handle is covered in soft silicone so it’s comfortable to hold. The silicone whisk prongs are good and do mix well, wish they were a little sturdier as they can bend when mixing, depending what consistency you’re working with. I made cheese sauce with this for homemade mac and cheese and this held up well to the thick sauce. It also didn’t scratch my nonstick pans. Price is fair for the quality.

   I noticed my Mom needed a new whisk, so I got her this for Mother’s Day. She was so happy, that she made a lemon meringue pie just to try it out! The pie was great, and so was the smile on her face!

   I bought this to use with my non stick pans. So far I’ve only used it to scramble eggs. Does a thorough job.

   This tends to get “grippy” across the bottom of pans, so if you’re doing any stirring that requires a smooth pattern, this isn’t for you. I roast coffee, so I have to stir beans, constantly in a skillet, for about 12mn. You want that to be as smooth as possible. Otherwise, this is easy to clean, takes high temperatures well, and is quite attractive in person.
