OXO Good Grips 28 cm Balloon Whisk

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!

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.

This is excellent quality but unfortunately I have quite small hands. Also not good for a smaller size bowl or not a large quantity of mixture.

I've been through quite a few balloon whisks lately and they fall into 1 of 2 groups, either they're hard to clean or they fall apart quickly. This whisk from OXO is PERFECT! It allows me to really give it some welly without the actual balloon whisk deforming all over the place or the handle falling to pieces. Really comfortable to use, no hand cramps like many whisks will give you. All of this for £12 is BRILLIANT value for money in a world where everything is going up in price and going down in quality.

It was long overdue that I replace my 20-year-old whisk which had seen better days. I did a little research and decided on a whisk from the Oxo Good Grips range. I had recently purchased their silicon utensils and was quite pleased with the quality of the items and how they performed. I can't fault the OXO balloon whisk, it is good and a marked performance compared to my previous whisk. It beats eggs in record time and thoroughly. It whisks cream to soft and stiff peaks in no time at all. It feels comfortable to handle - less strain on the wrist due to its size. Like all whisks they are not easy to clean - this one is not so bad due to its larger size and being able to get between the metal loops and clean them. It's a good buy - If you find this review has helped you, I would appreciate it if you would click the ‘helpful’ button below.

The best I’ve ever owned, and I’ve had dozens over the years.

I didn't receive this (refunded swiftly thank you amazon) but I went and bought one and for the price this seems sturdy, it's got good girth so it feels nice and solid in your hand. It's easy to use if you get your wrist action right. It does what it should and doesn't disappoint.

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.
